Instructed By Former Disney Animator Brian Finlay
Hi, I'm Brian Finlay, the owner and founder of Drawn To It Studios. I'm passionate about animation and film and I'm dedicated to making an impact in the industry right here in New Brunswick. I love sharing my knowledge with others and am thrilled to be offering courses that can help grow your skills in drawing and animation no matter your level.
Welcome
Drawn To It Studios is proud to announce our new Toon Dojo for animation training. Our workshops are designed to give new and passionate artists a chance to gain affordable and top-tier training in 2d animation. Work through our 16 levels of skill development, and begin your journey to becoming an animator whether you are a hobbyist or want to go pro! We are also a functional studio and whenever client work allows we offer opportunities to senior brown and black pencil students for real paid industry work.
(not guaranteed as we never know when we will have client work in production.)
