YAY" I hate when people say that...if you wanna draw anime learn how to draw period... there is no such a thing...drawing anime, drawing disney, drawing that or this... just go, sing up in some workshop and learn drawing from life...figure, landscape, still life, etc[/quote] I'm no animator, but I'll second Ruski's advice. I study multimedia and I've worked with a fair few animators in my time there. The good ones, even when it comes to 3D animation, have a damn solid traditional drawing and animation background. I also have a friend who wants to be an animator but she never does anything constructive about it. She can draw anime fairly well, but that's about it. She refuses to enroll in any kind of art class unless it's "animation", but she doesn't have the grades to get into any of the animation courses over here. Suffice to say, she's 26, unemployed and has few skills, and that's not likely to change any time soon with her current attitude. In terms of 2D animation software, there's also toon-boom-studio which a couple of people at my university have used for various projects, but it's definatly no substitute for solid traditional pencil and paper drawing & animation skills. Most of these kinds of programs are designed to make it easier to produce animation for the digital medium, but the key word there is "produce", not animate or draw. You still have to learn how to animate before you can use them well. Loading...
