What about me?

I can't do anything 'artsy' - but I'm good with mechanical drawing, drafting, architecture, etc. I almost went into architecture as a career back when I was deciding what to pursue for college. Won some award or another for a design I did in high school...

But I can't draw freehand, and forget being able to draw anything non-mechanical so that it is at all convincing.

Maybe someday I'll actually draw the plans for the house in WL...

Well, very few anime are made with 24 unique sells per second. Probably more like 8 for a lot of them. (Reshoot the same cell multiple times.)

The lower the rate, the less smooth of course. But not many titles have the budget to shoot full rate.
