What’s the best way to improve your animation skills?

The only way to improve your animation skills is to continue learning. Most animators are enthusiastic learners that understand the value in polishing and expanding their skill sets. It’s this focus on improvement that sets great animators apart from their less energetic counterparts.

Keep your skills sharp by taking one of Animation Mentor’s supplemental animation workshops. We teach cartoony animation in the exaggerated style of Looney Tunes, as well as previsualization (“previs”) for animators who want to help directors take projects from script to screen.
