My name is Hailey Lain, and I’m a professional 2D animator and vocalist. Welcome to my art blog!
I’ll go ahead and address some frequently asked questions here:
Where did you go to college?
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County! I graduated in December 2016 with a BFA in traditional animation.
How long have you been drawing?
Literally for as long as I can remember.
How long have you been singing?
Just like drawing - as long as I can remember, though I haven’t always been very good at it!
Did you take voice lessons?
I took one single evening class when I was in Middle School, in case that counts. Otherwise, I am entirely self-taught.
Where can I hear your vocal work?
Right over here, on my YouTube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/user/SquigglyDigg]
What’s your favorite cartoon?
If we’re talking nostalgia, The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. If we’re talking all-inclusive, it’s a tossup between Spectacular Spider-Man and Gravity Falls. Also maybe Danny Phantom.
How about your favorite movie?
Singin’ in the Rain! Also more recently, Coco.
What advice would you give to somebody who wants to do animation professionally?
Do not give up. Animation is a tough skill to master, and it requires a certain kind of patience… Not to mention it’s a HIGHLY competitive industry, and you’ll need nerves of steel to withstand harsh critique and rejection after rejection. Keep at it, and don’t EVER give up.
Do yourself a favor and pick up The Animator’s Survival Kit, and while reading through it, follow this lesson plan to teach yourself from the ground up:

Don’t skip any lessons! They all build off of one another and are all equally important.
