Phase 1: Brainstorming & Organization 
Just like any other project, I first started by brainstorming possible themes, plots, and characters for my animation. I had many ideas about what this project could have been; however, I found that creating a hybrid animation that showcased my illustration, character design, and animation skills all at once would be the perfect 
Phase 2: Thumbnails & Rough Animation  
Phase 3: Character Design & Illustrations  
In this second phase of the animation, I went ahead and created illustrations for all the artists I had in mind for my animation. One thing that I really paid attention to throughout this whole process was creating the illustrations in a way that was suitable for animating them further down the process. This meant that I needed to draw each element which was to be animated onto a different layer. In the end, I illustrated 10 artists but ended up using only half of them in my final work.
