Software I learned througout the year

TVPaint
I've only used the program for one project, but I'm hoping to get the chance to use it in future projects as the format is easy to animate with. I'll need a bit more practice as I only know the basics of the program, it contains a lot of features to explore but feels quite intuitive to use. Cartoon Salon, famous for their animation work use TVPaint as their main software and is why I want to learn it as I'd like to work with them.
