✏️ Sketches on paper will never go out of style. At least, that's what I believe in an age of prompts, quick results and iterations that seem to lead nowhere. For many projects, I prefer paper to meaningless, quick scenes.
What do you think? I'm wondering how you manage to draft before moving any layers in After Effects.
Take a look at this animation on my profile 🙌
Amazing!
Great mindset! I also think that's important
To a Motion Designer, its so crucial! Thanks for sharing

While working on this website concept for an interior design studio, I kept asking myself:
How do you make a website feel as cozy as a beautifully designed home?
The answer wasn't in flashy animations or complex layouts. Instead, I focused on atmosphere — elegant typography, rich imagery, thoughtful spacing, and a balance between warmth and luxury.
Curious to hear your thoughts: What’s the first feeling this design gives you? 👀
