Animation Desk Classic

If you want to learn how to draw and/or animate, I wouldn't say this is the app. I find it lacks in details for instance; 1) it doesn't have many brush options, and a major lack in colors. 2) as far as I could find you can't zoom in. 3) Picking the various brushes is annoying, I know it's a bit nit picky, but ease of access is a lot for me. 4) It doesn't work very well with the Surface pen, no pressure sensitivity, and not a very fine point even at it's smallest tip. 5) I don't like micro-purchases for my colors, that's just wrong. I would suggest Sketchbook for drawing, or for easy animation Pixel Art Studio. If you want real detail for animation look up Studio Ghibli and Futurama's animation program, it's free.

The app offers a good amount of tools for a beginner. You can choose whatever color you like and the right sizes or opacity, which is great. Though it has a few bugs, and at times it crashes, it still works pretty neatly.

It is easy to use BUT when I try to upload/save a project it crashes. Do yourself a favor...before spending a great deal of time on a project try something simple (winking happy face) and see if it works for you....
