Animated Self-Portrait: Bring Your Evil Twin to Life

We’re going to create a 10 second or less Animated Self-Portrait in Photoshop. It's the perfect bite-sized project to motivate you to work on something for yourself -- to be a little selfish for once -- and what could be more selfish than a self-portrait? You can go with our theme, which is animating your Evil Twin, or you can go with your own theme, it’s up to you. We’ll walk you through our creative process from brainstorming to character design, from rough animation to your final Animated Self-Portrait. This class is for all levels of animators, with a basic knowledge of Photoshop, who want to make something personal, artistic and fun. You’ll walk away with something that could be used for your logo, website or your reel. It might even spark ideas for your next film!
