    • 4-Panel Storyboard

    • Personal Artwork Section

    • Individuals specifically aiming to gain admission to Sheridan College's competitive animation program

    • Aspiring students seeking to achieve high passing grades in the program (e.g., 91% for domestic students and 95% for international students in 2023)

  • When you sign up for a Group Course you will participate in a course where pre-recorded video lectures and homework will be provided and assigned.

    Each week, The Animation Tutor will review and provide feedback collectively, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.

    Each student will receive a personalized group feedback video with 15-minutes of feedback each (totalling 2 hours of feedback throughout the course), along with corrected artwork files.

    Your work will be evaluated in comparison to the rest of the group. Additionally, there will be designated office hours where you can have discussions with The Animation Tutor at specific milestones throughout the course.

  • All Animation Tutor Courses Require:

    • Zoom account for the online feedback sessions (Interactive and Group Courses)

    • Access to Google Drive to submit homework and to receive feedback files (Interactive and Group Courses)

    • Reliable internet speed, ideally offering at least 30 Mbps for both downloads and upload, ensures a smooth online experience

    • Drawing materials of your choice, life drawing is always best done traditionally

    • Access to a library or bookstore

    • Ability to seek out artists that inspire you

    • Willingness to learn and grow as an artist!

  • Explore Resource Library:

    Software Recommendations:

    • TV Paint Animation (best option for short animation)

    • Adobe Animate (can be paid monthly)

    • ToonBoom Harmony (industry standard, but quite expensive)

    • Callipeg (animate using an iPad)

    • Blender (free open-source 3D/2D program for desktops)

    While Photoshop and Procreate both allow for animation, these aren't ideal. A dedicated animation software is preferable over a painting & animation app.

    Other Recommendations:

    • Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or Procreate, etc. for storyboarding

      • It is far easier to work digitally in storyboarding to make adjustments than to work on paper
