Course description
This course contains everything you need to know about 2D animation in clip studio paint. You'll learn to use Keyframes, animation folders, file objects, image materials, 2d camera, graph editor, and many tricks for animating in clip studio paint. We're going to combine all of these tools to create our animations and I'll also share some of my tricks to have a better workflow and make things easier and faster.
This is an intermediate level course so you should know some basics about the program before you decide to join. Basics like knowing what layers are, how to create a new document, using brushes, and other basic tools.
We're going to start with Keyframes and all the ways you can use them to animate without needing to draw too much. This includes moving objects, backgrounds, foregrounds, characters, or a combination of all. Then we'll take a look at animation folders which is the main way to create frame by frame animation.
This course includes videos about lip synch, rotoscoping, making an infinite moving background, making a puppet/ rigged characters, and much more. Clip studio paint is an amazing tool and I'll teach you its many secrets.
