Pencil: Free 2D Animation Software

I'm sorry for not updating the last few days, I got busy at home and I'm planning to start posting video games information and gameplay videos, mostly indie games because my computer probably won't be able to run the most of the latest pc games.

Anyway enough of that, it's time to introduce to you a great software I found a while back, it's called Pencil.


If you want to learn how to draw anime, then at some point in time you might want to learn how to animate your drawings. This is the perfect application to get your hands on. Pencil is a free 2d animation software. It's very bare bone and perfect for beginners. The user interface is very easy to use and everything you need to animate is already laid out.

How To Draw Manga and Anime: Walkthrough 3

Here I am again with another walkthrough on how to draw manga and anime. I've been looking all over the web for different manga and anime tutorials and I'm always surprised by just how many ways there are of drawing manga and anime. Just when I'm thinking I've seen them all I'll find a unique style I'm not aware of. I advise you too keep looking for more tutorials and more references to help you, keep absorbing all the things you learn and improve your skills.


This is the finished product, it's just a rough work but I prefer rough looking artworks like these. As you can see, I didn't even clean up the line art. I lack the patience to create full colored renders majority of the time. Check out how made this using NekoPaint.
