If you’re an animator, you’re now set. Animator Island is a treasure trove of animation secrets, techniques, tips, and information on your quest to become a Master Animator. Though examples are often shown as traditional 2D animation, the real focus are the core principals and methods that are essential to every avenue of our art form, from hand drawn to 3D to stop-motion to video game animation.
There are also reviews planned of animator-specific books and tools, and even animation reviews to point you towards the best out there for you to study and enjoy!
But maybe you’re wondering why Animator Island even exists, and why are we doing all this? Well, we believe that animators are a special group of people. Animation is, for the most part, not something you do all alone. (At the very least once you’re finished you want to show people all your hard work.) The website was created to share insights between animators, because we’re all in this together. The better each of us gets, the better we’ll all be as a whole!

To make sure you never miss out the best thing to do is follow us on Twitter, where a link will be sent out when there’s a new must-see feature to absorb into your bag of tricks.
