Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, you can! The lessons focus on the fundamentals. So you could apply that to any software of your choice.

    But, of course, you need to know how to use the software you plan to use. Also, in the demonstrations, I will be using Adobe Animate. So, for example, if you’re using ToonBoom, you’ll need to figure out the equivalent of what I’m doing.

    And once you know the equivalent, you can follow along easily.

  • They have the same lesson content. It’s just a different platform, each with pros and cons.

    On YouTube, the video player is superb. The buffering is very fast and has chapters and clickable timestamps. The con is that since it’s YouTube, seeing other videos from other creators on the side can be distracting.

    On Patreon, the UI is very clean. There are no suggested videos on the side. So you can really focus. But, the buffering can be slow if you have slow internet, no chapters, and no clickable timestamps.

    But despite their differences, the main benefits are the same regardless if you’re going to enroll via YouTube or Patreon.

  • Once you enroll either via YouTube or Patreon, you’ll have the option to connect your Discord account.

    Once connected, you’ll have access to the #student-projects channel. Post your drills/assignments there.

    We’ll have a look at your work, and we’ll make a video recording. And if you committed a mistake then we’ll show you how to improve it.

  • This is for people who want to get into frame by frame animation but feel intimidated by it.

    The lessons are designed for beginners. But make no mistake, advanced animators can also apply the concepts taught. It just so happens that we’re explaining it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

    So it is by no means a watered-down version. The concepts are presented from simple to complex.

    This class is also good for artists who want to add frame by frame animation to their arsenal.
