I joined FlipAnim when I was just 10 years old, wanting to learn how to draw digitally and learn to animate. Though there’s been many ups and downs, I grew a community of people who shared their passion for art, some of which I still talk to off the site and are very close friends with. One of them, which you may know as Maple, or Z, or L0tus, actually informed me of the shut down of FlipAnim. This website has allowed me to grow and improve over the years and I am immensely grateful for the people I’ve meet, the things I’ve learned, and the website itself. I am now 15 and turning 16 this month and my art has reached levels beyond what that 10 year old me could even comprehend achieving, and I couldn’t have done it without FlipAnim. So thank you, for those 5 years of FlipAnim that shaped my art journey.
