China markers (they seem to be called grease pencils sometimes) are these ultra waxy pencils that are meant to be used to write on china/glass. They're a bit fragile and hard to sharpen, but fun to sketch with. The permanence is useful too, because it forces the user to pause and consider the line. It appears they're popular with animators too.
Wow, learning whilst juggling a small child is an impressive task - and you seem to get a lot done. I like that tactic of making it super convenient by running the the slideshow. Also, at least in my experience and watching others, drawing stamina seems to build naturally over time with persistence.
That animation is gorgeous. Really perfect marriage of shape and buttery-smooth movement. I'd seen Ryan Woodward's gestures about the net (they seem to come up on google a lot) and they are fantastic, but it amazing to see them in action.
