--- "Why should I take this Class and is it for me?" ---Animation is always an eye-catcher. By learning this skill, you will be able to elevate your art into another dimension (like... literally). You will find a new understanding of shape and dimensions, and solidify your drawing skills.Especially in the time of video content taking over the internet (TikTok and Instagram Reels), this can be a new way to present your work, entertain others or create client work if you are a professional artist.This class is for all artists, hobbyists and professionals alike. You should bring some general illustration skills, hunger for knowledge and an iPad with Procreate - everything else you can learn in this class.
