Creativity is well known for being beneficial to your health and wellness, whether in times of crisis like the COVID pandemic or during the calmest of seasons. It offers things like stress relief, increased confidence, and improved self-awareness, among others. So whether you’re into art as a hobby or it’s what you do for a living, there’s never a bad time to learn a new medium or dive deeper into the one you already know and love. If animation is your idea of a good time (and, yes, we are counting GIFs whether or not they’re of the flashing variety), check out this Complete Cartoon Animator 4 PRO bundle.
With a version for Windows and a version for Mac, no matter what your computer of preference, you’ll be able to enjoy learning and creating with this package of top-reviewed animation software and online training that will help you get the most from it.
