Bring your characters to life with a complete professional workflow used in real 2D animation production.
In this masterclass, you'll learn how to create expressive 2D characters from scratch, prepare them for animation, build a professional rig, and animate them with smooth, natural movement inside Adobe Animate.
Starting with AI-assisted character creation and professional tracing techniques, you'll design male and female characters, create facial features, clothing, hands, feet, and expressions, then organize every asset for a clean production workflow.
Next, you'll learn how to rig your characters using symbols, layer hierarchy, reusable animation assets, eye systems, mouth systems, and production-ready rigging techniques that make animation faster and more efficient.
Finally, you'll animate your characters with realistic talking animations, lip sync, walk cycles, run cycles, jump animations, idle poses, and professional body movement while applying industry-standard animation principles.
By the end of this course, you'll have a complete character production pipeline that can be used for YouTube animations, client projects, animated stories, explainer videos, and professional 2D productions.
