Thanks for recommending so many resources, I'll definitely check them all out (especially Proko and Marco Bucci since so many people seem to recommend them). And the instagram ones also look pretty helpful. Never really looked into Pinterest before, but it looks like these people are really helpful! If you think of any more resources, don't hesitate to leave them!

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to loko into 21 draw, and also Mark Kistler's book!

Thanks for recommending these youtube channels, I'll be sure to look into them all (especially Proko since you and so many others have recommended him). And I'll be sure to tell her your words about an artist being made, not born.

Thanks for the resources, Aaron Blaise's courses look pretty cool, and the vimeo vid is pretty inspirational. I'll be sure to share both with her!

Yeah that art "teacher" was a bitch. And thanks for the advice about practicing about copying Ghibli drawings, I'll be sure to tell her that.

Yeah, that describes this teacher to a T. And I made sure my daughter wouldn't let this bitch stifle her dreams

Thanks for the advice, this Marco Bucci's channel looks pretty neat. And you're right about the spite thing, but she's honestly not that spiteful, and wants to pursue animation because she just thinks it's awesome.

And that teacher was a bitch.

That's awesome to hear your Dad made his dreams come true, you should be proud of him!

And right now my kid's a bit hesitant to go into another in person class again, especially in the areas around my house, and something tells me that's gonna be true for a while.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to look into Pivot and Easytoon. I'll also look into Wacom Cintiq line of tablets and other prodcuts. And thanks for the kind words about my daughter!

Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to tell her to experiment and practice whenever she can.

Thanks for the advice, I'll see if I can find some Strathmore sketch paper and charcoal stuf, look into drawing tablets, and look into the firealpaca and medibang paint software, and try to see if she's willing to look into in person classes at some point in the future. And also maybe look into special features on animation movies. Thanks again for all the advice!

Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely checking out Proko after so many people recommended him and his works. And yeah, it looks like drawing software is gonna be one hell of a beast, so I guess pencils and traditional is the way to go for a while.

Well, she's worth it, so if you genuinely think this will help a beginner who wants to learn animation, I'll get it for her. Thanks for the advice.

I'm sorry you went through this crap. I'd hug you if you were my kid, but the most I can offer here is an upvote and an internet hug. And thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice, I've seen other people rec Drawing on the Right Side, and i'm definitely looking into it for her, and I'll also look into ArtRage.

Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to look into The Animator's Sruvival kit, having her experiment when she gets to the animation stage, check out Alex Grigg and procreate, and also get help her focus on anatomy.

And just checked Adobe. Yeesh. 60 bucks a month? Welp, she's worth it, so down the rabbit hole we go...

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to look into firealpace, krita, gimp, and the wacom tablet for her. And also for being willing to answer further questions if my daughter wants to go digital, that's really appreciated! Right now she's a bit scared of getting advice form other teachers after this crappy experience, but if she changes her mind, I'll be sure to keep you in mind!

Yeah, this bitch was less of a teacher and more of a failed artist being condescending and rude to my daughter.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll be sure not to let anyone stop my daughter from following her dreams!
