Toon Boom Animate Pro II

I downloaded and started practicing with Toon Boom Animate Pro II, a piece of Animation software used by studios such as Walt Disney Animation Studios, Warner Bros. AnimationRough Draft Korea, Cartoon Network Studios, and Pixar, which are my favourite studios and greatest inspirations. 'Happy Tree Friends,' 'Family Guy,' 'The Iron Giant,' and 'The Princess and the Frog' are all examples of animations produced using this software. 

On the Toon Boom website https://www.toonboom.com/ there are a myriad of resources for beginners to learn to use the software. I was able to access video tutorials, walkthroughs, FAQs, guides and forums to help me ease into familiarity with the software. They also have a section of tips and tricks for animators. My tutor recommended Toon Boom to study personally as an advanced version of Adobe Flash. So far I have been following the tutorials regularly to try to become familiar with the Animate Pro II interface.
