HEY THERE! I’M TROY

And like you, I’m fascinated by the magic of animation. There’s something incredible about watching stories come alive, frame by frame—when characters, color, and emotion blend into a world entirely of your own making. I’m not a pro (yet!), but I’m learning every day—and I want to take you along on that journey.

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into animation or dreaming of turning your passion into a full-time creative path, you’re in the right place.

I started Drawn to Animation as a space to explore everything from beginner-friendly tools and gear to online courses that actually make sense—and most of all, to share creative tips that keep the spark alive.
