Moving Illustrations: Creating Morphs with Adobe Animate

Want to make your illustrations move? Join animator Hannah Lau Walker to learn how to combine your illustrations into a morphing animation!

Every illustration sets a tone, a mood, and when animating you want to embody that feeling and bring your designs to life. In this class we’ll be morphing one illustration into another, thinking about designing movements to emphasis your illustrative style.

How can we use animation principles to exaggerate our style and how can we create movement that embodies our designs? We’ll be experimenting with these ideas as we take you step by step through Adobe Animate and teach your how to and push your morphs to their limits.

The class includes everything you need to know to get started making morphs in Adobe Animate, including:

• Designing the movement from one illustration into another
• Setting up your workspace in Adobe Animate
• Roughing out your animation to set the initial plan
• Adding Anticipation & Follow Through to make your animations life-like
• Polishing your animation with line work and color

By the end of the class you'll have beautiful new animation and new skill you can use to combine illustrations and make them move.
