<p>The style You mentioned is called "Explainer Videos". There is plenty techniques that might be used to make such videos.</p>

<p>One would be that You record Your own voice first and then You try to make the drawings / illustrations match what You were just saying.</p>

<p>It is same approaches, as before: he captured video as he drawing... Then added pictures and effects.</p>

<p>For more complex effects you need After Effects, but for more simple video, as just captured drawing process and images — you can use almost any video-editing software with timeline.</p>

The earlier videos were made manually on white paper. These are colored and uses design software tools. Something like sketchbook maybe? Any idea what software he could have used to handdraw on it using a graphic tablet?

You could use Animate (aka Flash) to do that, or draw the strokes in Illustrator and animate in After Effects. One thing you will need is a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet, like a Wacom.

<p>Photoshop also has the ability to capture brush strokes and play them back. Similar to this: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tv5nCZWm-mg?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>But my guess is, most likely, After Effects. The drawn elements can be easily positioned,revealed and animated. </p>

The style You mentioned is called "Explainer Videos". There is plenty techniques that might be used to make such videos.

One would be that You record Your own voice first and then You try to make the drawings / illustrations match what You were just saying.

The other way is to have drawings ready and try to commentate over them.

Where it comes to software itself try exploring multiple options.

* Adobe Illustrator
* Adobe After Effects
* Adobe Premiere Pro
* Adobe Audition

The list mentioned above would be my choice If I would start trying to get into such things.

The direct answer to the question "What can I learn to make this kind of videos?" would be:
