![]() If things get super serious as she gets older prices begin to jump up very quickly (especially on the software side) but I believe the items listed above should suit her perfectly for at least through all her high school years. If I were you I'd probably go for the bamboo tablet and Sketchbook Pro to get started (for drawing) + Anime Studio 10 if animation is definitely something she wants to explore as all these items are an outstanding value for what they offer. The Illusion of Life by Ollie Johnson and Frank Thomas - Two of Disney's original master animators known as the Nine Old MenĪnyway that's a quick rundown of where equipment and resources stand. If she really catches the animation bug there are two books that are wonderful (although they are thick and may be better for when she is a little older? Up to you but they could make great future gifts):Īnimator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams However this is an awesomely priced option with a lot of great features to make jumping-in easy ![]() ![]() Keep in mind animation programs can be tough to learn so she'll definitely need to watch tutorials online. Once you've got it figured out though they're great (they come in various sizes and are used by professionals throughout various industries)! However you're drawing on a tablet placed on a desk while watching your work on a separate monitor and this can take some serious getting used to. They are high quality, very responsive, and made by Wacom (the current industry leader) for a much more reasonable price. However most people start with something like a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Plus is she loses interest you'll still have a tablet to use for other things. So if she's just wanting to explore, a drawing app on a samsung galaxy tablet is a cheaper option that works great for beginners and allows them to work directly on screen. For instance buying something that lets you draw directly on the screen is going to run you several hundred dollars for the lowest tier models (Wacom Cintiq's are currently considered the gold standard but their monitors and tablets start at over $1000 new so that is out of the question for most people and definitely not worth it for a beginner). Glad to hear there is another potential animator/artist in the world :)Ī lot of your question depends on your budget as tablets can get very expensive very quickly based on size and quality. (what kid doesn't at this point lol) I hope he has fun! c: The links I put in would be the easiest things to get for your son, and would be easy to give to him and he will be able to figure it out with the instructions and such, if he knows how to use computers/technology. (if this link shows up, this is clip studio paint EX, and is a good choice.) I'm sure your son knows how digital software works and with tons of tutorials online he'll get the hang of it in no time.Ī/dp/B01F70HHBC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_MvqZBbGCS2PVV It's like a combination of paint tool sai and photoshop, and works on Mac and Windows. ![]() You might as well pirate it if you really want it bad, which it's not really a necessity.įor software that is similar to photoshop, manga studio/clip studio paint is great. Photoshop is a great software for digital art, however it is extremely expensive, and Adobe wants to get people into paying yearly for it, which is dumb. You have to buy it off of the website (systemax.jp) for around 55 bucks (5400JPY) although you can only use it on Windows operating systems. I love Paint tool SAI, it's great for line work, they don't have a physical copy however. It would be hard to spend 500 dollars on one tablet haha, but I would reccomend having some drawing software for him to use. (if the link shows up, this should be a good one to get.) (the 30$ range)Ī/dp/B079NWPZTG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_ilqZBb55VQXMD They aren't horribly expensive but they are great quality, the cheaper tablets from other brands stop working and are generally unreliable. A medium sized tablet is probably the best, or a large if your sons desk is big enough (Though he can just use it in his lap if he wants). The wacom Intuos series is probably the best, even the older ones are great. Wacoms website has all the software for any tablet you get, no matter how old or new. ![]() Definitely get him a wacom tablet, any will do. ![]()
