Animation Girl Teaches: How To Sketch Hands



Hey everyone! My very first tutorial is finally here! I apologize for the length, but I guess there is no real way to have a full fledged tutorial be any shorter. This is completely unedited so feel free to work along with me as I go through 9 unique hand poses and how to break them down into basic shapes. From those basic shapes you can refine them in your own style and make them yours or just continue to work on sketches to build up your practice skills!

Animation Girl - Mushroom Speed Drawing



All right guys, Animation Girl here sticking with the food theme. Today's speed drawing is of a mushroom girl! Yes, I know, I've gotten a little carried away. But I needed more work for my new Wacom drawing tablet! I have to be sure this bad boy is worth the price tag. And I have to say, so far so good. I really am enjoying being able to work digitally on the go without the hassle of a fully fledged laptop.

Animation Girl Vlog #16 - New Wacom Tablet



Hey everyone! Animation Girl here to discuss my new Wacom Cintiq Companion 2! So, this new drawing tablet is essential for my current on the go lifestyle. I wish I had more time to spend working on projects at home, but with this new tablet I can rest assured that I can at least knock out a drawing or two, not to mention some video edits and perhaps even a vlog if need be. I haven't had this bad boy long enough to give a full review, but I do have to say that so far it's doing everything I need it to. Not to say their aren't some weird bad habits that I wish didn't exist, but those are more minor annoyances than anything else.

Also, a quick shout out to Josh and Christian! Thanks for being interested and subscribing to my channel! And stay tuned as my very first drawing tutorial will be rolling out in the near future!

Animation Girl - Avocado Girl Speed Drawing



Hey everyone! Watch this adorable speed drawing of my cute little Avacado Girl! I was super excited to do this particular drawing, not only because she's cute, but because she's the very first design drawn on my new Wacom Cintiq Companion 2! As usual, I completed this green beauty by using Paint Tool Sai and worked completely digitally. Check out my upcoming vlog for more information on how I like the new tablet.

Hey there! I know that deciding to go to an Art College can be a big decision for many reasons including financial and developmental progress. The following video contains a few tips from my own personal experience that may give you a little more to think about than you already have been.
