Motion Design School – Frame – Frame Handdrawn FX

Compared to making motion design in After Effects, hand-drawn special effects are a time-consuming monster.

We will teach you how to draw and animate things easier and faster by using proper software and a proper animator mindset.

Well, you should purchase one. You will most definitely need one right here in the course.

Seriously, why don’t you still have one?

Well, this is a great place to start. Drawing energy doesn’t require many skills, but it does require a thoughtful approach.

We will cover basic aspects of actually drawing the energy so that you are more comfortable with creating special effects.

It’s true, After Effects wasn’t meant to be used as a frame by frame animation tool. Trying to make a proper hand-drawn special effect in After Effects is like trying to make a 3D illustration in 2D software.

No worries, you can use Animate, Photoshop, ToonBoom or any other software for drawing.

So you have tried making some hand-drawn transitions, letterings or fluids and it was horrific? Welcome to the reality of drawing things by hand.

We will help you go step by step starting from very basic elements to much more complex animations so that you will grow your confidence and make it rock.
