The project
Illustrate a scene from daily life and turn it into an animated loop, to share, to show a client or to add to your portfolio.
Who it’s for
Illustrators, cartoonists, artists and anyone curious about what frame-by-frame digital animation can do, at any level.
What you need
A computer with Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, or an iPad with Apple Pencil and Procreate. Basic knowledge of the Adobe suite; no animation experience needed.
