Skillshare – Cel Animation Basics: Creating a Weaving Loop Animation

Howdy! Have you ever wanted to dip your toes into cel animation but didn't know where to start? The goal of this class is to familiarize students with the cel animation workflow and give them confidence to use cel in their projects.

You don't need experience animating frame by frame but a basic competence with either drawing or motion programs like after effects is a plus. This class is great for illustrators and motion designers who want to add a new arrow in their quiver to bring their clients visions to life as well as taking your personal projects to the next level!

I'll take you through the process step by step, from sketching to animating and finally compositing. By the end you'll have a beautiful looping animation that you made from scratch. With that base you'll have conquered your fears and will be able to learn other cel animation techniques. Before you know it you'll be a pro!
