Skillshare - After Effects Basics From Sketch to Animation With the Pen Tool

I'm Taylor, a freelance illustrator, and motion and graphic designer with 4+ years of experience in animation for small and large businesses. I'm super excited to help you bring your ideas to life!
In this class, we will be turning a sketch into an animated illustration using the pen tool and masks in After Effects. The pen tool can be used to create illustrations. Masks can be used to cover selected parts and then animated to reveal what's underneath. Together you can use the pen tool along with masks to create interesting transitions that can add some fun movement to any illustration!
During this class, you'll learn how to:
Scan your sketches
Create a digital illustration of your sketch using the pen tool in Adobe After Effects
Add some life to your design with animated effects and textures
Make a mask to reveal what's inside your object with a custom transition
Render your final animation to share
This class is great for beginners to get started in After Effects and digital illustration, as well as intermediate users who are looking for fun new ways to explore the animation process.
Going from sketch to animation using the pen tool in After Effects is an invaluable skill to have.It can be overwhelming to learn how to animate, but by focusing on one tool at a time, you will be able to build up your skills in no time!
