Hello everyone!

I have been using AE for almost a year now and I am completely obsessed! There's also something new to discover and I have mostly been using default ease controls, but I have been dying to understand the speed graph mechanics. So happy to have found this class.

For my project, I wanted to challenge myself and do something a little different. I grew up playing Nintendo's Animal Crossing series and in the game, there is a store owned by a character named Tom Nook and his nephews. Over time as you spend money there, the store expands. The internal clock of the game also matches real time, so the seasons progress depending on the time of the year. I wanted to illustrate both the progression of the seasons as well as the expansion of the store.

The game itself is very whimsical and child like. I wanted my illustrations to have that same aesthetic.
