I love ur gallery, and any advice to become an animator? Also I hope you like my gallery and you can tell ur opinion

Hey, thank ya. Right back at ya.

While I haven't animated in a long time myself, I took a majority of my cues from other peoples' animatics on youtube. It helps me a lot to look through the different phases of work like that and understand how it comes together.

A lot of my storyboard learning was also based in studying comics and sequential art. I originally wanted to do comics but didn't know how to do layouts, and realized my thumbnails were suited much better for storyboarding. I've gotten better with both comics and storyboards since my time in highschool, but haven't gotten formal teaching on it since then or since college, and I'm looking to get back into formal learning for it.

I don't know much about actual animation programs, I had to use GIMP and kind of jury rig it to work for what I wanted to do with it, but I'm lucky enough to have a job that gives a little expendable income, so I can afford to buy animation software in the future and try it out.

Definitely reach out to people in the industry that have the job you want, and hopefully they'll take some time to give you resources. A lot of the time, some professionals' paths to success come from different circumstances than you come from, so not all of their advice might apply. I think it's important to ask around for advice from several people and use different bits of their advice that apply to your situation to create your own path.

Hope some of what I've said helps, cheers.

Ok thanks, also can you look at my gallery when you have time and tell me what you think of my pony characters I created

Happy Birthday!
you're welcome and Merry Christmas Santa Clause
