About This Workshop
Skillshare teacher Hadis Malekie
Morphing animation is a great entry point for illustrators. Transforming one illustration into another can help you think through how to emphasize and exaggerate your style to create movement that embodies your designs. In this workshop, you’ll join two animators with different approaches to morphing, for a thorough introduction to this versatile and eye-catching technique. You’ll need access to Adobe Animate and Gimp (free software) for this workshop. Beginners welcome!
Workshop Timeline
- Milestone 1: First up, join animator Hannah Lau-Walker in Moving Illustrations: Creating Morphs with Adobe Animate. Hannah walks you through designing the movement from one illustration to another, setting up your workspace in Adobe Animate, roughing out your animation, adding anticipation and follow-through, and polishing your animation with line work and color. Share your animation in the Project Gallery by March 8th.
- Milestone 2: Next, join animator Hadis Malekie in Morphing in Animation: Create a Frame-by-Frame GIF in Gimp. In this fun and experimental class, you’ll learn three different key frame techniques: 2D digital, 2D traditional, and stop motion. With this approach, frame-by-frame morphing feels like a digital flip-book that brings the look and feel of traditional animation to the screen. Share your creation in the Project Gallery by March 22nd.
