About Author

My name is Howard Wimshurst. I’m an award-winning animator from London

I have worked professionally for a variety of clients ranging from the BBC to Sam Kolder.

As a teacher I have produced over 170 video lessons which have taught over over 215 thousand subscribers my advanced animation techniques. Until now, my lessons have been about advanced animation topics. I have never gone in-depth with the basics of how I actually make my animations.

​I look forward to mentoring you through what took me 8 years to develop on my own.
