QUILL SIGNATURE
My First Love was Animation Shop. It
must be getting on for 4 years now that I have sat at
this desk and tried to increase my knowledge of how
Animation Shop works. I taught myself to do the writing
signatures and eventually would spend hours at a time
making up different signatures with all sorts of writing
tools for my Friends in Msn Groups. I will now
attempt to pass some of that knowledge on to you I hope lol Grab yourself a cuppa , relax and enjoy it, it will
take a bit of time to master it , its well worth it
though, once you see the result :))

HAVE YOUR POT AND QUILL OPEN
