Plus loads of tips for working efficiently that will get you started on the right foot. This is the class I needed when I was first getting started in motion design!
I’ll show you every step to recreate my wintery scene, but in doing this, every step will teach you something useful that you’ll surely come across when creating your own illustrations and animations.
