Adding Life to Your Character

When you create a character, you need to think about its personality and how its personality relates to its appearance. You can give personality to almost anything. A line or a dot can have character.

Draw sketches of your character in different moods so that as you animate, you have a visual reference from which to work

In this class we will begin by using the basic drawing tools.

After you have tried the tools take an image and animate it.

Import "to state" your image > select your image > Modify Break apart > lasso tool > edit > cut > make a new layer and name it > Paste in Place > lock the image > Modify > Convert to Symbol > use the free transform tool to move > select frame ten or so and then "create motion tweens

For ten points have one animated image by end of class
