Course Description

Update - Apr/8/2016: Added an extra section to learn to create illustration in Illustrator and Sketch 3.
Each lecture can be watched individually to learn different skills (no need to watch them in order).
Update - Oct/10/2015: Added a section that teaches you how to use vector shapes, smart objects and the video timeline. You'll end up with a smooth playing cat animation.

Update - Aug/2/2015: Added a lecture to reuse the assets of the cupcake animation to create a new one.

On this course you'll learn to turn hand drawn sketches into animations using Photoshop. You'll learn to add some dance moves to a pencil drawing of a robot. We'll create a happy jumping cupcake that never gets tired. We'll add some vibrancy to typography. We'll create a smooth cat animation using video timeline, vector shapes, and smart objects. And we'll create a realistic animation by tracing on top of a video.

This course will teach you basic animation principles and how to apply them using simple Photoshop tools.

The course is separated in independent sections. You can start the section that most interests you without worrying about having to take the other ones to understand the context. Each section has its own downloadable materials that you can use.

Take this course if you're curious about animation and want to have some fun creating silly GIF doodles. This is not a professional animation course! It's just to learn a cool skill.

This is a great course on animating in Photoshop. Pablo Stanley is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of tips and tricks that I previously didn't know. I would highly recommend this course if you are wanting to create simple animations, animated typography, converting video or sketches to animation, or to just learn something new in Photoshop.

love this course!!!!!!

Awesome Animation course! I love the animations that the instructor taught me, the techniques shown in the course are easy to understand, however, I believe 'Practices make perfect!' Thanks to the instructor's patient and really find it is very interesting in animating!

Great videos and easy to follow along. It is also great that you show yourself throughout your videos as well so that it is not just a voice talking but it feels like i am in a one on one lesson.

I enjoyed the course very useful and clearly explained every step. The english subtitles are all incorrect though if someone has trouble understanding the accent that would be a problem, sometimes if i wanna mute the audio that isn't possible at all.
