🚀 Course Title: 2D Animation With No Drawing Skills in AE 🚀

Unlock Your Inner Animator with 2D Animation 101! 🎨✨

Headline: Learn to create and animate characters who express with body language in After Effects!


Course Description:

Embark on a creative journey with our comprehensive course, 2D Animation 101, designed for those who believe animation is an art form accessible to everyone – no drawing skills required! This course is meticulously structured into three core segments:

  1. Theory (📚) Mastering Awesome Animation: Dive into the secrets of creating engaging animations and crafting intriguing characters that captivate your audience with simplicity.

  2. Rigging (🔧) Bringing Characters to Life: Follow a series of detailed tutorials that guide you through the process of rigging a character in After Effects, step by step.

  3. Animation (✏️) Animating Body Language: Learn how to animate body language and expressions for your simple characters, making them come alive with personality.


To create compelling animations, it's essential to grasp a few foundational elements:

  • Shapes 📐: The building blocks of your characters.
  • Body Language 🧑‍🚀: The silent language your characters will use to communicate.
  • Emotional Expression 😌: Conveying feelings and emotions through your characters' actions.
  • Character Relationships 🤝❤️: Understanding how characters interact with each other.
  • Storytelling 📖: Crafting a narrative that resonates with your audience.

Your character doesn't need to be complex; a Body, Arms, Legs, and a Mouth (with optional eyes) are all you need to tell a story. Remember, it's not about how detailed your drawings are, but about the life you bring into them.


Our mission is to empower animation enthusiasts to start their creative journey with small projects and simple characters, focusing on the expressiveness of body language and character acting. 🌟

Many aspiring animators shy away from learning 2D animation due to the misconception that drawing skills are a prerequisite. While drawing can enhance your work, it's not the cornerstone of animation. The key lies in understanding fundamental animation principles like timing, anticipation, and pose-to-pose technique, as highlighted by animation legends Thomas and Johnson in their seminal work, "The Illusion of Life."

2D Animation 101 takes these core concepts and applies them to create lively and expressive animations without the need for extensive drawing abilities.
