In this course, you will learn to make professional-looking 2d animation with a basic knowledge of animation. We will animate a storyboard from the beginning to the end. The skills you will learn in this class are essential. Because you will learn how to create your own 2d animation works.

My personal purpose is to help anyone interested in Animation to start practising with whole a storyboard, learn the fundamentals of After Effects, the basic principles of 2d animation and transition between the scenes.

You don’t need to be able to draw in 2d animation. You can animate any work that you can create with the help of Freepik, Shutterstock etc.
