So far, I have made it to the texturing part of one of the windows. I have had a difficult time doing this because Maya just refused to cooperate for a while.

I have finished learning the basics of Adobe Animate. I learned how to effectively create hand-drawn animations in Animate. The final project that I did was a ball bounce animation, which can be seen on one of my other posts.
