## What you’ll learn

How to animate in layers, from the first idea to a finished loop: brainstorming, visual references, narrative, colour and the styleframe, then frame-by-frame animation in Photoshop or Procreate, freehand animated titles, and the final composition in After Effects.

## The project

Illustrate a scene from daily life and turn it into an animated loop, to share, to show a client or to add to your portfolio.

## Who it’s for

Illustrators, cartoonists, artists and anyone curious about what frame-by-frame digital animation can do, at any level.

## What you need

A computer with Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, or an iPad with Apple Pencil and Procreate. Basic knowledge of the Adobe suite; no animation experience needed.
