2D Animation With No Drawing Skills in AE

2D Animation With No Drawing Skills in AE

This course is divided in 3 parts:

1. Theory (Secrets to do awesome animation with no drawing skills, and how to make interesting characters no matter how simple they look)
2. Rigging (A series of tutorials that teaches you how to rig a character step by step)
3. Animation (Another series of tutorials that teaches you how to animate body language for simple characters)

There are a couple of things you need to understand to achieve simple animations.

• Shapes
• Body Language
• Emotional Expression
• Character Relationships
• What makes a good story

And for your character, you only need a Body, Arms, Legs and a Mouth. Eyes are optional.

If a simple circle has personality, people will watch it.

Our personal purpose is to help anyone interested in Animation to start practicing with little projects, simple Characters, and most of all, explore the expressiveness of their Body Language and Character Acting.

Many people seldom to start learning 2D animation because they are convinced that you need to know how to draw.

While drawing skills can help you to improve, that is not the essential skill to do animation. For animation you need to understand the most basic principles in animation, like timing, anticipation, pose to pose.

Concepts that Thomas and Johnson, 2 of the animation masters in Disney talk about in their famous book, Illusion of Life.

This course puts those basic concepts into practice and also explains step by step how to achieve great body language when a character is talking.
