You may be wondering if animating is for you or if it is worth it to spend all that money and go to college for four years not knowing what lays on the other side.

I’ve spent most of my life animating and taken a hand full of college courses, and I can tell you, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Some courses will be short and sweet and others long and drawn out. This course will give you the essential skills needed to be a successful animator rather than knowing all the bells and whistles of state of the art software. Although the majority of animation can be learned simply by observation from real life combined with your own due diligence, this package of lessons will give you what you need to get up and running or might even be everything you need!

You can follow the lessons using your own software, do it on paper, or you can use the set up I have. It doesn’t matter.

Regardless of what kind of animation you will be doing in a career, even if you are making the simplest cartoons that require the least skill, it is best to have great skills available if you ever need them. Remember, a good company will always hire a great animator even if they do not know any software, not the other way around.
