Animation foundation 101

Classical or traditional animation relies on excellent draftsmanship while 3d animation  relies on the sensibilities of 2d and the nuances of realistic movement to render smooth timing. This course is designed to introduce the artist to animation in a very efficient manner irrespective of prior experience in the medium and give power to the independent animator.

​

If you have just started out in art or have been at it for a while and can’t wait to breathe life into a series of moving images this is a place for you to get started . 

If you already have started out in animation and want to gain solid control over timing and build strong personality and attitude into your characters , the exercises and drills this course presents will help shape that ability.
