These flipbooks and animation are wonderful! Will your animation club be a separate membership to join?

thanks coco! It’ll be the same substack account but I’ll introduce a paid subscriber level, which will have the animation sessions, and more! Prob in a couple of weeks time…

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely flip books, Rachel! They are so inspiring xx I love sketching and doodling whilst waiting for things (mostly children) and have never thought of doing a flip book. I like the simple (but effective) idea of the index cards.

do it!! I got TOTALLY absorbed and didn’t want to go pick up the dog!! It’s not any more work/kit than sketching, it’s just a different focus…
