Every animator starts from somewhere. You’ll make mistakes at the beginning but it's totally OK. As you do more, learn more and fail more you’ll get better and better over time. These are some of the best practices and experiences I’ve had creating my storytime animations.

It’s a little lengthy but I tried covering most aspects of the creation process, hope it's helpful for you guys.

A couple of useful downloads that I mentioned in the video:

Audio Software:

Art & Design Software:

The fact that you have been making animations for over a year, and only have 500 subscribers is aspiring. I'm making a new channel right now, and i will also not stop until forever. And the quality of this video is amazing, and i hope on the best.

I loved this! An explanation of how to make visuals for people who can't draw would be helpful too.

[frozenfresh]

Thanks for sharing your process Wnegsome. Also merry christmas.

[Juaco_AnimArts]

Alright. I'll be considering that for when I become a storytime animator soon, and start creating such content like these well known fellows there.

[Benjymations]

This storytime tutorial is pretty helpful. 👍

[trnc]

Wait why is this channel not popular yet
That does not make sense

[lenal.]

What equipment or software do you use for drawing?

[Myimpacts]

Awesome video taking everything into account, some constructive criticism talk a little faster with a little more enthusiasm, keep up the good work

[Adinary]

*I have a question* 🙌, as animation is a long process so it might happen that you started working on a topic and later found that topic not good enough. Then what should you do ?

[Michael_Lak]

So you do 2 storyboards? A quick one and then another one (in illustrator) with your fully drawn characters. So you don’t do a character/scene per project, you do them all in one project and import them into animate? If the character is waving for example do you illustrate the wave or do you just import hands by side illustration and do the duplicate and rub out method? Thanks.
