Learn the basics

We’ll start with the basics. We’ll cover one concept at a time. When we say that this is for beginners, we really mean it.

We’ll discuss the basic terms, and we’ll thoroughly explain each idea before proceeding.

Understand timing and spacing

Have you ever wondered why some animations look so smooth? Spoiler alert! It’s not having lots of frames.

It’s all in the timing and spacing. In the lessons, we’ll discuss and practice this a lot. It’s key that you’ll understand this early on.

 
 
 

Learn how to inbetween

Inbetweening is one of the most fundamental topics in animation, but it’s also one of the most overlooked concepts.

Most tutorials would tell you to use “feeling. “ And while that could also be the case, it’s not really helpful to beginners. There’s an actual framework we can use to make in-betweening easier. In the lessons, we’ll discuss the halves method and favoring.

Practice, practice, and practice

When athletes perform, they make it seem effortless. What we don’t see are the countless hours put into practice.

That’s also the same with animation. Here are some of the drills that you’ll do.
