adobe flash symbols my dude, theyre too powerfu;. i know this gif is of Animate, but everything that makes this pan work has been in Flash for forever
I do love my iPad, but it's too small for me, so my wrist gets fucked within like 15 minutes. For industry work, you need to keep your work momentum going for 8 hours a day, every day. If you don't have a wrist drawing tolerance built up, that's just a carpal tunnel disaster waiting to happen.
You'll also might have a better chance at getting into the animation industry if you get experience with some of the software that you're required to use in some studios. Limiting yourself to an iPad can lock you out of 80% of the industry. From what I've seen, you need to be exceptionally skilled and insanely good at what you do to make limited resources work for yourself. If an iPad works for you, then you have more balls than me. I'm not gonna complain about how animators do their work if it's letting them churn out great stuff and make money, but if you're just starting out and looking for options to help LEARN animation, choose the easiest and work smarter.
An iPad feels limiting for myself because I don't have the intense determination to do all my professional work on one. I'm just not built to animate like that, which is a variable from person to person. Some animators are way more determined and maybe this Anon who want's to learn is one of them, but speaking from experience as an animator who quit once before, try as much things as you can and settle on what fits for you. I personally recommended Flash because it's easy and you could learn it in a couple days, but that's heavily biased because I'm already doing professional animation and I'm required to use Flash at work. So I might just have an abusive relationship with it. Learn to love it cause it's all you got y'know.
If you can do that with an iPad, good on you. Just remember there's still many more long-term options out there that you could consider.
