Additional Note Animation is heavily reliant on drawing — often creating many frames one after another to bring movement to life. While not mandatory, having a drawing tablet or an iPad with a stylus can make the process much smoother and more enjoyable. Drawing with a mouse is possible but can be challenging, even for experienced animators.
