Nigerian animator Ridwan Moshood was so determined to learn how to make cartoons, he spent hours in internet cafés in Lagos, watching YouTube lessons and taking notes.
"I would go to a cyber café, watch video tutorials and write down whatever I'd learnt," he says.
Today, the 26-year-old is a rising star in Africa's blossoming animation scene.
Two years ago, he was recognised by the Cartoon Network Africa Creative Lab for his animation Garbage Boy and Trash Can.
In what must have felt like sweet revenge, his cartoon was inspired by a bad experience at high school, involving a rubbish bin and school bullies.
