added comment insome drawings I would like a critique on
The anatomy looks really good in these, nice job. You have some cool ideas in these. Maybe work on some armor and weapon studies -- I think you could push some of these designs further, and doing separate studies will help you develop these ideas. I especially like the guy with wings. Keep going with it, you're improving a lot!

Long journey, not along, and with some good sights along the way, Dennis.
So I was told to become a good animator you must become a good actor and I guess how do I go about doing acting if that makes any sense? Do I study Shakespeare or something?
I see arcane as high quality animation and would like to make something similar to it.

Not sure what Procreate dreams is but in terms of the writing that needs to be done to make an animation pilot I would recommend this book. https://www.amazon.com/How-Write-Animation-Jeffrey-Scott/dp/158567428 Also read some series bibles like this https://tvwriting.co.uk/tv_scripts/Collections/Animation/Batman/Batman_Writers%27_Guidelines.pdf Also Greg Weisman has his pitch for Gargoyles the Animated Series online, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8nWTHZVFz8
In terms of an actual pilot here is the one for Avatar the Last Airbender you can study: https://web.archive.org/web/20201105231213/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GprPhEnmxAA It's been many years since I watched it but I'm pretty sure the creators do a commentary over it discussing the process of getting the pilot made (It may be on the DVD)
Ultimately I would recommend finding some of you favorite creators and try to track down as many interviews and videos of theirs as possible. Guys like Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack) have done many an interview discussing how they got their projects off the ground.
thank you the information was helpful and that last part not a bad idea. have to think on who are my favorites are now.
Awesome this definitely something I would love to get into.
any tips on creating a animated pilot?

Dennis - that is a whole world beyond learning perspective! Stories, characters, getting an audience, assembling a team, selling the pitch...
If that's your goal, here's a tip: get your characters and story ideas worked out first. Those are the concerns of other courses. Here we have a lot of drawing ahead, which will surely help if you are the one drawing your characters, settings, and scenes.
