The Curve deformation allows you to deform an image using Bezier handles. For example, when editing curves, you can deform a straight line into an arc or a zigzag. Curve deformations are mostly used to animate elements that don't have joints, such as hair or facial features. However, in some cases they can be used to animate limbs to create a specific animation style, similar to the early rubber hose style of animation with typically simple, flowing curves without articulation (no hinged…

Connect with our worldwide community of artists and animators through our community on Discord and various social media channels.

In the days of hand-drawn animation, a group of top Disney animators came together and defined 12 rules of animation that, when applied properly, would create amazing animation and an engaging experience for the audience.

The Envelope deformation allows you to deform an image using Bezier handles located all around the contour of the shape. Envelope deformation chains are composed of Curve deformation nodes. It is regularly used to deform shapes, such as hair, cloak, shoulder shape, head shape and so on. You can use the Envelope deformation to deform a drawing so it looks like it changes from a profile view to a front view to create head and character rotations using only one set of drawings.

The jump is another very common type of animation to do for a character. Just as we did with previous animations, we will take the time to review each key pose in the animated jump before you actually do the animation with one of your characters. Here is a break down of those poses:

These are the basic steps in character design:

Remember that with only a quick read, the audience should know where they are and have a pretty good idea about what is happening. In other words, your design needs clarity, which can be achieved when it’s based on solid structure and composition principals.Â
