Just to say "Hello" from the UK. :Blahblahb

Just starting out in all this animation malarky.
Don't know where to begin.
Looking for inspiration.

Which would be best to start with? Flash, Illustrator, Moho, Toon Boom, or something else entirely?

I have a new Wacom but don't like it yet!

Cheers. :)

NOOB!

Welcome to AF Wigwam! :D

As far as software goes, Id suggest Flash to start out with. That is what almost everyone here uses, so you will get the most help for it! ;)

Keep playing with the wacom as well, you will get to the point where you will sell your own mother before it! :eek:

Id also suggest getting a copy of the Animators Survival Kit (ASK for short) by Richard Williams. It is the undisputed "bible" of animation!

Looking forward to seeing some of your work!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I'd thought about Flash (I have Pro 8 :D ) and will probably start there.

I'm from Surrey (at the moment) in Dorking ( :o don't laugh - there's loads of us here!)
