The creative process is quite long and strenuous. Looking from the outside it feels hard and nearly impossible to do. But if one breaks down step by step and take a break occasionally after every couple steps, one can realize that they're actually making some kind of progress. Personally something that I used quite a bit during my creative process is time blocking which I found useful when I respected the times that I blocked out. But many time I didn't respect it since I find myself having to do work for other classes. In my opinion, I should've down scoped the project much more earlier as that way it wasn't to be feeling super overwhelming towards the end especially.
The main artistic technique that was used were the basic techniques of animation created by Disney that many people nowadays for 2D animations still follows consciously or unconsciously. As well as using digital technologies such as Procreate and Procreate Dream to create the drawings.
