@KodytheRedFox Hi Kody - had another look at your website and I see you like drawing and "wannabeananimator" - Try out software on my website..Youtube won't let me put up the URL - just go to it and click on the orange square that says"Animate instantly with our free software" Try a fox for starters! URL for Website is on my channel.

why not draw a fox for starters!

@nailon323 Seriously how about your watching the movie to the end and you will see that i am using a mac - several in fact- and have done since 1991 -When you were about 12. By not taking time to look at this post properly you have missed the entire point !

@stefanolattanzio Your animation Manga style is fine - however this little video is just a blast from the past to show how we USED to make animations - I, like you, now use computers and if you looked at some of my other 100 movies up there you'd see that.. ..we are not in anyway in competition..the great thing about animation is that everyone finds their OWN style to express their OWN ideas and personality..good luck with your work in the future.

@WolfMore Thanks for your kind comments -Really appreciate your sorting this out - as I didn't get it at all. Loved your Ragdoll Kitten - you don't need to animate whilst you have him to film!

@bdeink Thanks for that explanation...I really like some of your piano favourites..glad you got in touch.

@sheilagraber i believe KodytheRedFox may be referring to the one 'dislike' on this video; that whoever disliked this is not able to animate at all, and is jealous of your fabulous skills.

@sheilagraber I think @KodytheRedFox meant the ONE person who disliked this video :)

[sheilagraber]

@KodytheRedFox Do your mean ONE person cannot animate - I am only ONE person and created the 100 or so animations you see on my channel .. sorry maybe I mis-understood?

@xoamrc I just used 2B pencils to draw on paper - the thinner the paper the easier it is to see through..then to trace the cel I used a black "rotring" pen..

[sheilagraber]

@SuperDMTV Quite Right too - there's no way I'd go back to making animations this way now!

what do you use to draw with? Pen? Pencil? And is it a special sort for animation/the type of paper you use?
