Neil Patrick Harris is a multi-talented, Tony-winning actor, singer, and dancer, but he’s ready to explore new skills and discover hidden talents.

Together, they explore facial expressions, body shapes, and using paper scraps to inspire unexpected characters. Then, Neil takes his doodling to the next level and tries animating for the first time. Want to join in and work along with them? You can use a tablet with Procreate for animation, but you can also simply doodle along with some paper, something to draw with, and a passion for discovering your own hidden talents.
