Another link worth visiting is the JohnKCurriculum, which features animation lessons from John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy. However, these animation lessons are not technically “free,” since John K asks for donations to fuel the site and content. If you use John K’s lessons, please make a donation.
