Your coach

Taught by a professional, not a tutorial.

Hi, I’m Dave, a professional animator working in the animation industry. Every day, I work on real productions — and I teach you the same methods we use in studio.

Videos can show you the principles. A coach shows you what’s wrong in your work — and how to fix it. In every session I draw directly over your work, explain the choices a studio artist would make, and give you a clear next step.
