Video Course: Telling a character's story with a 2D looped animation

by Vera Rehaag

In this 30 minute long video class, I will teach you how I design characters that tell a story within themselves, and show you, how to create a little 2D animation with them.

I recommend this class for a bit more advanced students, people with an interest in character design and animation and those who are up for a challenge :-) I encourage every artist to join in!

Designing for animation will help you understand characters and movement, and show you a whole lot of possibilities for making your art more exciting.

I will show you how I approach character design with a sense of storytelling, that will be applicable for a little looped 2D animation.

You can tag along in my process step by step, and either follow the assignment, or come up with your own assignment for the character.
