If you’re interested in making animations but have zero talent for visual art like me, you’re in luck!

I really mean it when I say I can barely draw a stick figure, have incredibly sloppy handwriting, and would get kicked out of an adult coloring class.

Calling me a knuckle dragger would be a compliment since even literal cavemen made better art than me.

So how do you make a cool graphical animation like this with zero ability to draw, even with the help of a computer?

Let’s dive in first with where to get the art and then I’ll cover how to set it up.
