This guy sits so properly while animating. I hunch in my chair like a melting sewer goblin with scoliosis
wwwwww true
I was thinking the same thing.
Hahahahahha
Elliot Koda scam
Adjustable desk. Would save you more money to just buy a monitor arm.
I'm already going to school for digital art and motion graphics, but my portfolio is going to specialize in animation. Your humble beginnings and open resources have me so fired up rn I can't sleep my mind is racing 🙌🙏🔥🔥🔥💯
I know, based on statistics, i probably won't win the giveaway, but i'd rather have the .001% chance of an opportunity, than an absolute 0% chance because i did not enter.
Yeah thats how chance works
do u read killing stalking by any chance?
@@iridesticide7456big yes
@@Yoonbum-ie that makes alot of sense. unless youre weak like me and hate losing
I've always wanted to have a tablet so I can finally get closer to my project of doing animation and webtoons, love your videos!
You won man
Same
Of all the animators I've seen on UA-cam, this guy is the only one who shows the deepest passion for the art of it! Don't you ever kill this channel or I'll hunt you down! :)
I can feel the passion through how you built your set up. And yes, we don't want to go in that rabbit hole when we can have someone professional to do it for us, because art is already a mind blowing profession and thing to do lol. We don't know each other, but I'm proud of everything you did
thanks dude! A lot of people laughed at me for saying that point
Most respect for your hard work on getting where you are right now. You are right "don't use the lack of equipment as an excuse not to start"... I'm very "old" to start doing this, but I think if you don't start any day or time you just won't know what you could've done...
Life has hindered my dream of drawing for a living, but now at 42 years of age I’m actually in a place to where I can start on making this dream a reality! And like Urself I’ll be “living @ my desk” also. Except I’ll be able to start with a setup as the one shown in this video or 1 like it. Which is why I watched in the 1st place. Once my equipment has arrived (March-April?) I’ll begin my animation journey. Thank you for insight and openness regarding ur studio and ur throughout ur journey as well. Who knows, in a cpl years we may even collab on a project!? With that said, keep the vids coming and THANX AGAIN‼️
The video quality has sky rocketed! Man, one of the shots feels like it belongs in a documentary.
please make a tutorial on how to make slow mo animation
Slow motion is quite a task, it is the same as animating normal paced motion, just a lot more in betweens if you are going for a smooth animation.
arreh........
antik vai naki
You can tween it
@@jessetoons5446 no that aint necessary. If you animate and the gap is too big and you slow down the fps. Itl be an abomination. You can tween or move the layer
Animate the whole scene, export it as image sequence and decrease the speed of clip in the video editor
I am a 14 year old and I love animation. I does small small animations on my mobile. I only have a cheap stylus and I use it to make most of the animations. Thank you for this video. I will try to save some money in a year and will try to buy any one these gadget.
''Entry''
''Done''
Reason : I'd like to give this to my sister who likes drawing a lot but has lost the motivation and confidence to draw by now.. and would be really happy to see her go back to it again :)
You need to go to the link in the description (also linked below) to enter.
www.animatorguild.com/tablet-giveaway.html
XD thats my case, well it was like 19 years ago, Good luck =)
I just love give aways cuz people that want to be animators may not have enough money for a graphics tablet people like you guys give them hope to keep trying so I thank you
I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the equipments , thinking that they are needed to get started in making animations. Thanks for talking about how you started, now I am hopeful.
I believe that proccess takes time, it is not instantly to achieve. Very good motivation and inspiration as a digital artist, thank you so much, great job 👍
I still trying to decide what type of draft table I need to accommodate for a computer setup too. I appreciate the honesty about your workspace
Interesting to see other animator’s setup. I’m not anywhere near this level but cool to see what a pro uses. Also a nicely put together video. 👍
Animation is coo, I’m able to draw but I feel animating your drawings a different breed of artistry. Inspiring indeed!
can confirm that you dont need big hefty equipment to live out your dream. im in the very early stages of a short animation and all i have is a small laptop and a huion 580 (which has been off the market for years). all you need is determination and imagination
I use a dirt cheap North Bayou arm that i picked up for around $25 for my XP-Pen 22E pro. I’ve been loving it. It does take two hands to move around but it is quite firm to draw on. It wont budge unless its your intention. So nice being able to move it off to my right as an extra display when I’m gaming or doing research and pull down in front of me when im working on a project.
THE PRIZE GIVEAWAY IS OVER! Congratulations to Francisco C for winning the XP-Pen Artist 24 pro!
Many thanks to XP Pen for supplying this tablet. They are awesome!

Howard i completed 9 out of the out of the 11 questions just waiting on the links in my twitter to try and get those bonus points but also my birthdays coming up on sunday so if u could plzz consider thanks also love ur animation and cant wait to see more
flipz100 I think u deserve it
what do you think about richard williams?
I entered but it just says I've created too many entries. I've created none.
Done all mechanics
I want to improve in drawing so I hope to win this
This was a 13:30 minute drip
As a fellow freshman animator im so proud of you!!!! keep it real and i wish you the best!! and i hope one day get to your level!!!!
um if you dont mind me asking what do you need to make simple animations
do i just need a laptop and a drawing tablet? please answer asap its very important😊
@@edcaluag7655 don’t know what you mean exactly, but you do need a laptop and a drawing tablet for animating.
@@boffle539 thank you
I actually didn’t know this was also a give away, I just was interested in your setup. I don’t really need it since I have a basic drawing tablet already am planning to save up for a screen tablet. Good luck everyone, and have a good day
Having a tablet coming from Howard will be a dream come true
OOf I wasn't reading the title and I thought it's another animation tutorial then I got so surprised there's a giveaway! Good luck people! It's also so inspirational to discover you also used to use the mouse to draw! I really feel so much difficulty only using the mouse to draw and to know an amazing artist like you used to use a mouse inspires me so much Thank you!
I recommend getting a Ryzen 4000 series CPU since the 3000 series CPU's are SO good at multithreaded work, in short, Ryzen CPU's are really good for the kind of work you're doing. I also say get the 4000 series because they're coming out in October I believe.
Definitely agree. My 3900x is a beast at multitasking and the new 5900x looks like its going to steal the throne at the overall best consumer cpu in all categories.
@@lego_minifig and it did :D
That Bred colour theme is Exquisite. Cheers!
Bred lol
I'm happy to hear a small snip of your journey to where you are and hope the very best for your future as you keep ascending :beer cheer icon:
OMG I am on the 4 minute and I have the full motivation to buy lot of stuff! THANKS
i own a 7 y/o wacom intuos cth680 and i always wanted to upgrade to bigger screen tablet. that would be awesome if i win, gotta use this for college assignments :)
I started with pen and pencil 7 years later i saved up and finally got my set up running 😊
I love watching things like this that i never had in my entire life
I would love to have a graphic tablet, not just to upgrade from a pencil and paper, but i can really start to strive towards my own dream of being an animator myself.
I mostly animate on flipaclip, I've been watching most of your videos for help. It'd be awesome to get an upgrade
Kymani Brown I just finished animating a 60 second piece with lip sync on Flipaclip. Never again! I love the layout of the app, but I would import art from procreate and instead of importing pixel to pixel, it would import relative to the size of my canvas. I would have to resize the imported images to match and that caused the images to “pop’’ in size with each change in images in the sequence. I bought a wacom cintiq 22hd and plan on trying out Adobe Animate next.
@@dan-ez8lg I find Callipeg on the iPad to be a much better 2D animation app. More so if you are used to Procreate.
Actually, I'd say Clip Studio Paint EX wouls be the best of all on iOS but that doesn't come cheap.
"ENTRY"
"DONE"
Reason : I wanted to make something advance in frame to frame animation also i wanted to draw more realistic sketch
That's a really sick professional setup ..... Really loved it .
i was watching the video and as i was seeing your equipment i was thinking "I will never be able to make a real good animation". I almost closed the video.
But at the moment you start telling about what you start with I felt a wave of hope. I work on an old laptop and a mouse on my bed. I finished my second animation just yesterday.
I just found the channel. I'm going to stay.
glad you watched the whole video! Keep going!
i sure wanna be having all that to also do my work..but love it budyy
its a dream world to be in your space.
I would love to have a tablet like this, not to just improve my gear, so me and my cousin can work together on animations.
I rly hope your cousin and u have good times animating lol have a fun time boi
That’s some amazing gear right there. I’m sure the channels wealth shall increase because it has been gathered by your hard labour man.
Much appreciated!
Wishing you all the best from Brazil Howard. Continue the good job.
Good stuff! Such an admirable chap! More power to you brother!
Great content as always keep on doing what you love. To the winner when the time comes, I hope you drop some amazing creative content.
you are my inspiration, I cannot without you, my life is meaningless if there is no you. Don't be far from me
Thanks for giving me heart
I can feel the love from this setup
MAN YOU ARE A REAL INSPIRATION............. A REAL HARDWORKEER.
Your work is so impressive Howard, great to see how you make it. Very cool.
Wow... What you said about working really hard to save some budget to be able to buy something and once you have bought it in the end, you'll use it to earn back mostly the value of what you've spent for that object, never thought of something like that. I guess you've given me a wider perspective or better ideology of what will the better uses of the things we have saved for. I guess I haven't really maximize the value of those things. Thank you very much by the way. Even though I was late for the free giveaway (well I wasn't really expecting, but a bit interested), I have learned something new on the other hand (also together with some apps and PC features that are unknown to me). Keep up the Good Work!!
That cable management though 😱
I just ordered my first tablet (non-screen). It's going to come in 2 months. If I win this one then I'll gift that one to someone else.
That's so..amazing
If you win pls Give the non screen Tablet... I not have drawing tablet and Mouse aloe I only you laptop touch pad... I m From India
@@kuchimittai3969 I'll be sure to give it away if i win this one
@@areebshaukat5840 thanks a Lot brother ❤️
Anyways i just discovered your channel and you're amazing! Thanks for being so responsive of us, subscribed!

I'm learning 3d modelling and animation and doing illustrations too, so i would love to have that tablet.
Did you start out with like hand drawn and then transition over to digital art after a couple of years? Thanks
Nope. He didnt have normal animator route. He went direct to digital and learned animation before learning anatomy. That's why he has a very different style compared to typical animators.
Anxiously waiting for your next video!
They are not sponsoring this video but they sent me two of them ...
I'm dying hahaha
broooo..even gaming setup fails, this is litttt🔥🔥🔥
That table shine bro, my table be all in tea n coffee lol.. that setup tho!! Last time i watched you you walked with a lap and a cintique!
Loved this video, mate. I use the XP-PEN 22 PRO for all of my graphic design and comic book artwork, and it's fantastic. Your setup is incredible.
This sound's like a great tablet to have . Thanks for the chance to enter and win ..
Thank you Howard, your video and tip always helping me as a beginners. I just use phone and without stylists pen to draw one by one and then compile in flash. Just simple animation. I hope one day I can afford any of pen display.
Ur setup is super clean bro..!
Man, this setup is so great!
Awesome video
Bruh it's a gaming pc...being an animator and building a pc would be extremely FLEX
huh that's true... i had not considered the flex opportunity...
Awesome Video Howard! You inspire me to get started on animation every video!
10:40 Wooow - really inspiring! Awesome!
I believe this is a great GREAT video and I really think you are giving a lot of hope to tons of people around the world. I hope this video reaches everyone who wants to become an animator.
"Entry"
"Done"
loved your video and keep growing. Need it to learn animation and graphics designing cause my potato pc couldn't even preview my clicked images
Its already done, the winner is the description you're like a month late
Look at the happiness on his face
"Entry"
"Done"
Reason: I always been interested in animation, I did my first animation in Flipaclip and I would like to improve in my animation.(Even without the fancy equipment I will find ways to improve my skills without expensive tools).
What a professional he has multiple touch screen tablets. looks freakinnn dope but my ocd or preference wont allow me to be surround by technology or pictures.
@@LenniL-ob4ll what doesnt make sense about it. Add punctuation urself and use ur brain tool. It's very simple I was complimenting him then saying I couldnt have that set up because of minimalistic OCD. I am peculiar about having more than 1 thing of each around me. Duh goofy ass
@@LenniL-ob4ll no it doesnt, but you're definitely an ignorant angry migrant. Lol move on if you cant make sense of out things then move on. It's extremely simple. Ur reading comprehension is lower than the average bear, I can say that. I write like this because news flash i dont have to, its youtube. This has been my tedtalk.
@@LenniL-ob4ll nigga move on you're lame. I literally forgot about you. go ahead and respond again you're declined.
I only use my phone to make animations
Thank you for sharing your amazing desk
Thank you for motivating sir.
You deserve all the love
Ahhhh yes the most High Tech Animator I've ever seen :D
Because alot of other popular youtuber animators are still rocking that traditional animator's desk lol
This video made me more inspired not in the medium of animation but in T-shirt Design :) thank you Sir :)
I'm entering! I got a bunch of points, and I made a twitter account just for this! I couldn't figure out how to do two of the missions though...
Thank you for your inspiration I'm a graphic artist too and still in starting days like in your story.
I am your Number one Fan, Sir Howard... Your One Of My Inspiration ....
You gave me an answer for the question I've been asking myself for a long time.. maybe motivation 😉
But I'm working on my college lab for ma works...
I feel like I could do to buy some equipments myself soon 💕😍
6:27 Ah yes, the Wacom Etch A Sketch, truly an essential piece of artist equipment
Excellent video man! 6:55 "no bueno" indeed hahaha
If you need more display ports you can enable to on board graphics card on the motherboard. That way you'll have your gpu for actual work and the on board graphics for more displays
great video men... loved it
Wow your setup is fantastic!
I just animating on flipaclip and now i learn so much from jour videos thank jou dude💜💜
I never had a graphic tablet only had a tablet whiteout a screen
Me too
Same,I love my tablet but a graphic tablet is another level
Isnt a Tablet without a screen a graphic tablet🤔 ?
@@TrebleDscore yes it is
Animation exercises would be a nice video to watch and take note of
You have no idea how long I waited for this video to be uploaded! No idea!
Also, is the xp pen tablet thing international? I mean is it possible if someone from the other side of the planet wins it, it would be delivered?
Also, can someone make a huge animation project with so little equipment and still turn out good?
Hey dude! thank you so much I made it for you and the others who have been showing up here supporting these videos
There are some distant places in the world where i can't reach, but I'm, prepared to pay quite a lot to get this delivered to the winner.
Yes you can make a big project but you need to be more rigorous behind the scenes with how you manage the project. For example:
- animating with only one software open at a time. If you want to listen to music, do it on your phone
- saving and backing up the project regularly
- splitting any project into many small files (perhaps 5-10 seconds of animation per file)
- as for tablet, you can draw well on almost any tablet as long as you are using a tablet and not a mouse. Give the tablet a chance, get used to it.
@@HowardWimshurst I do have a small xp pen tablet, thank you for your respond and kindness.
Howard, what about a graphic tablet
Cool, I hope someday i can get like that
I have a 10 year old or so Wacom. It’s broken and it’s surface gritty but still works somehow.
My dream setup
Truly inspiring 🎉🤘
I can relate to how you work to save n upgrade your tools to increase workflow. ROI great video alot of what he is using im using as well
I hope the best for the one that will win the giveaway i hope it could help them so much!
Thank You Howard, man you really caught my attention when you mentioned about having an " Inviting work Space " man thank You, i have a similar set-up, Thanks to some efforts i have made to enjoy and grow in my passion. great that you have made your passion into a profession and sharing it with the world. very inspiring. now i have to clean up the clutter on my Work Space ., because it's NO Bueno.
Haha thanks man glad it was helpful!
I was suckered in with that tartarus thinking that I could use it for animation lol! I realized that I just use to many keys to fit in a tartarus. Plus i hate the curved design. Im just more used to a flat keyboard.
congrats for the winner! hopefully i win for the next giveaways!! THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING US SIR! -nathan from PHILIPPINES
6:57 ¿es mí imaginación o dijo: that is no *bueno* ?
Haha yess
yes .." NO BUENO " no good. i actually had to go back and listen to it just to make sure. :-}
A veces, quiero hablar en Espanol... no se por que
@@HowardWimshurst yeah... That happen with me But with the English.
OOh, so you recommend RL Supplies in Watford then? Looking at a new machine and i'm just down the road from them.
Great video Howard. I don't need the tablet so I won't enter, but you are an inspiration man :)
you really inspire me to animate again thank you😊
