Abigail Miller
Introduction
This page will explain the steps and tools needed to become an animator or cartoonist.
About me
The reason I chose animation is because I love to draw and create stories. So really I've wanted this career for a while (before that I wanted to be a fashion designer but that didn't turn out well).Anyways the influence for this career was my aunt Marie (she introduced me to anime witch made me want to be an animator).
Some of the tools used in animation...
Digital drawing tablet
mostly used in art and digital animation to create drawings.
Animation program
As far as I have heard this animation program is called MMD and as you can see most animation programs are hard to use. This one is mostly used for different characters in anime (Japanese animation) or for some people characters in video games. You can play around with the character and even add music and make the character dance.
Studio ghibli
