Learn how to animate characters frame by frame using simple designs
Learn how to animate characters frame by frame using simple designs
You don't need very complex shapes or animations to achieve fun and exciting animation pieces. With simple designs, geometric shapes, and a few tricks, designer and animator Pablo Cuello manages to squeeze the most out of frame-by-frame animation to create his hypnotic pieces.
In this course, he teaches how to animate characters in loop and how to exaggerate their movements using animation principles, so that they perform different actions over and over again.
If you want to animate using vectors in Adobe After Effects, you can also sign up for Vectorial Animation Frame by Frame Style with After Effects, Pablo's first course in Domestika.

I’m enjoying this course; it’s exactly what I was looking- to bring life and story-telling power to simple illustrations.

This course is awesome!! If you can already draw then that's definitely a bonus, but even if can't it's great for learning the core principles of animation and motion graphics! Top notch :)
