In this tutorial, I take the character from the previous video and turn it into a simple animation using Fresco’s Pose Tool, path animation, and frame-by-frame techniques.
You’ll see how to:
-
Fake movement quickly with the Pose Tool
-
Use paths for gentle swaying and hovering
-
Build frame-by-frame animation by duplicating and adjusting frames
-
Stretch, squash, and exaggerate motion with Liquify
-
Touch up frames without starting over
This is all about speed and play — getting motion into your drawings without overthinking it.
