[PRACTICE] The Animators Desk

 As stated in a few previous posts, I want to create a space for the animators to work which isn't just an old looking desk, I wanted to create something similar to a desk that animators would use back in the 1930s, something with areas for animation paper, finished drawing, equipment and various other tools, overall I wante the desk to be able to fit both the light-box and the drawing tablet, so I changed the desk from this:


To this:


While I was creating this desk, I noticed that it gives the whole room a bit more of a character to it, however, the shelves on top of the desk didn't look right with the light-box or the cintiq, as the perspective looked off and I couldn't work with the animation paper which would be on the wall. I decided to get rid of the top of the desk and stick with having a new bottom with extra storage space, below is what the finished prop looked like in the scene:


Personally I like how the new desk looks, I don't think it needs the other shelves as there is enough storage for the animator. I may experiment in the future by having a couple of filing cabinets next to the desk.
