Animation stuff with Andrea Gertsmann

“Animation Stuff”: A basic primer to help you get started creating your own animations

Animator Andrea Gerstmann works in TV animation. In this charming little playlist, she demonstrates the basics of animation as she draws and animates a fox.  Andrea is great at breaking down the animation process into small, easily-digestible sections, and not only explains how to do things but why she’s doing them.
