Illustration for Animation - Motion Design School
Premium Illustration for Animation - Motion Design School
What is this course about?
You can spend all your life mastering drawing skills, but what you need is to be able to complete tasks here and now. That is why we've designed a focused course that consists of only essential topics, which will allow you to create high-quality illustrations. I've accumulated a vast number of observations, tricks, and hacks by trial and error over the many years of working on animation projects. This experience is the foundation of this course. As if you aquired 6 years of commercial illustrating experience in just a few months. I'll try to teach you how to draw as fast as possible and help you boost your current skills.

The course is designed to effectively introduce you to the basic stages of working with Illustration, even if you have never done this before.

Character
At this stage, we'll learn to create beautiful and interesting characters so they can be easily animated further. I'll also tell you about my personal experience, techniques, and tips on how to ease the task for yourself and for a person who will animate it later.
