Are you interested in improving the graphics of your animation?

Cell shading is used for static images, but what about using it for animations?

You can combine the two by using any animation software you like.

CrazyTalk Animator allows you to jump back and forth between the two, so you can make little modifications here and there, and have them updated in CrazyTalk Animator.

In this course, I will teach you how to use cell shading in your animations.

• I will explain the basic concepts.
• The different masking techniques used to shade comfortably,
• How to use the different tools like masking, clipping mask, and the Magic Wand Tool so you can extract pieces of your characters and add shadows and highlights to increase the quality of your image.
• You will learn how to add images as texture.
• How to stylize a layer with filter effects.
• And then, this course would be useless if I didn’t cover the theory to really understand lights and shadows, using simple shapes as examples.
• Then we will analyze some common mistakes that a lot of beginners make when they are starting with techniques to add shadings, comparing the different ways to do it.
• Then after you know the basics, we will move on to the practical part.

Practice makes perfect?

In this course, we included some practical exercises that you can follow to help you understand each concept and technique to its fullest.

Adding simple shadows to a character, using soft shadows, texture and depth to the hair of your characters, and even learning how to create texture for your background are some of the things you can learn.

After you finish with all the exercises, we will move on to improve a whole scene, from start to finish, and at the end, we will compare the before and after.

If you know about the principles of animation, we will show you how to apply them to your characters in a lesson in which we use the hair as a separate accessory.

You will learn why a lot of graphic designers are using CrazyTalk Animator to pose their characters for their designs. Why? You can export any frame of your animation, or any character in a pose, with one click.

You will learn how to create Thumbnails in a video.

If you want to take the visuals of your animation to the next level, you need to start using Cell Shading.

You can learn by watching and doing the exercises provided in the course.

See you there!
