There are tons of courses in LinkedIn Learning which I can access free as part of my membership to the Animation Guild (thank you!) but this course on YouTube is pretty damn good. It’s about an hour long and covers everything I need.

In another post I might talk about how after 35 years in the animation industry, I really detest what it has become… how it seems like every few weeks there’s new software to learn or you’ll somehow be left behind (as if the industry itself isn’t already doing that to everyone through corporate greed), or how 3D is “taking over” and nobody wants 2D anymore, or how you never had to renew the annual licenses on your pencils, or how you never had to worry about your drawing tools being “incompatible” or out of date, or how… oh never mind I guess you get the idea.

I really do love drawing and animation but this industry abuses its workers so intensely, it really beats it out of you.
