The reason I'm asking is that I'm studying animation and wanted to work in anime or something 2D-related. I haven't really tried 3D much yet, so I don't know if I'll like it or not.

Recently, I read an article about how donghua is becoming increasingly relevant. It talked about the animation quality, the time they take to produce it, and how they treat their workers—and to be honest, that last part is what interests me the most.

See, I wanted (or still want) to work in the Japanese industry since, as I mentioned, I don't know anything about 3D, and in the US as well as other countries, the industry is shifting heavily toward 3D. The problem is the massive overwork and exploitation in Japan. Even though I'm not super informed, I know those aren't conditions anyone should have to work in, which is why the growth of donghua caught my attention.

So far, I've only watched Fog Hill of Five Elements and I'm currently watching To Be Hero X, so I don't know much about what the donghua industry is like yet, and there isn't much information online about it either (at least I haven't been able to find much).

With that context out of the way, my questions are:

How different is the industry in China compared to Japan? Do they treat their workers better?

What's the main focus of donghua: 2D or 3D?

What are the chances for a foreigner to get a job (even freelance) in China?

I'd really appreciate it if you could help answer my questions. Btw I already asked this but in Spanish, so I thought that it would be better to ask in English

I've been watching a lot of videos and ppl always say that the first thing you need to learn is how to see properly, but they never tell you how you will learn this. I have the book Drawing on the right side of the brain but, I don't feel like I'm learning to see, it feels like I'm simply drawing like I always did and nothing changes

Yo creo que hay niveles en el fan service, a mi no me gusta esto, se que a veces hay cierto fan service que es algo de la trama, pero hay otro en el que ya no es eso, solo es para complacer, y esto no me gusta, por ejemplo, estaba viendo the eminence of shadow y lo estaba disfrutando de verdad, había algo de fan service pero nada del otro mundo, hasta que llegue al capítulo 10, quedé asqueado, todo el capítulo es fan service puro, no aporta nada a la historia. Simplemente me hizo considerar si seguir viendo el anime o dejarlo ahí, por eso pregunto si de verdad hay gente que eso le gusta, siento que arruina la historia

I wanna watch the movie of bokuyaba, but I can't find it, idk if the movie is not on digital or smth cause I can't find it, if someone knows pls tell me
