  • The lessons include:.
  • During the course our assignments will cover*:.
  • * Each assignment could be completed in any of these mediums so there's no need to have a fancy computer, expensive software, or an iPad..
  • You can complete this course even if you're not good at drawing. .
  • "It's not about what moves, it's about how it moves!".
  • I will also share my insights working as a professional animator on big movies like Avengers and Ready Player One and how I use these principles every day in my work..
  • The concepts covered here are not only for beginners but for every animator to apply in their daily work and be a resource for any time you're stuck on how to add more appeal to your animations..
  • I look forward to seeing you in class and seeing your projects from the course..
