If you’ve ever wanted to draw faster or learn what it takes to make it in the animation industry, this conversation with character designer and academy founder Stephen Silver is a must-listen.

Stephen Silver has worked with some of the biggest animation studios in the world as a lead character designer developing the style for shows such as Scooby-Doo, Kim Possible, and Danny Phantom. He’s also the founder of the Silver Drawing Academy, where he teaches both aspiring professionals and hobbyists. 

This is a masterclass on getting your foot in the door from someone who has worked as a Disney recruiter and has given thousands of portfolio reviews. He not only gives practical tips for those looking to break in, but also the need for preparation as well as surrender.
