Congrats on starting your animation
journey!
In the animated world, anything is possible.
Whether it's an animation about a dog
breakdancing, an alien baking a cake, or an
army of tacos snowball fighting with
Bigfoot...you can let your imagination run
wild.
I'm excited to teach you a thing or two
throughout this class. Every artist's
process can be a little different. But,
this is how I do my thing in my style!
After all, I've done this with little to no
equipment in the past. It's entirely doable. You just need the right idea!
