Animation industry is constantly evolving and every animator should be up-to-date with the latest trends and news from this field. Nowadays animation is also used in marketing, advertising, entertaiment, and not only games or movies. Even if you are an animator or you just want to know more about animation, enjoy a cartoon, etc., animation blogs are a great source of information and education.
As an animator you must learn continuously and subscribing to certain animation blogs all new information will come to you and you will not be forced to look for them on the Internet. There are hundreds of blogs that write about animation and I thought to make a top with the most famous blogs.
