I think animation is one of the great art forms. When people hear the word “animation” thoughts of great Disney animators can come to mind. This can intimidate people into thinking that animation is not possible for them to learn. I’m here to tell you that you CAN learn to animate and it is really not as hard as you might think. I made this course to try and dispel that myth because I believe anyone can learn to animate. You might say, “But I can’t draw!” Not everyone who animates needs to know how to draw. In fact, some of the most entertaining animations I’ve seen are made with stick figures or bouncing balls. Let me show you the tools to get you started on making your own animations.

Why Rough Animator? As a professional independent animator, I have used most of the 2D animation packages over the years. Rough Animator is my personal software of choice right now. It is powerful and feature rich enough for me to accomplish professional level animated projects. Its minimalist interface makes it easy to learn and use. Are there more robust software packages available? Sure. Will Rough Animator get your project done with the same level of quality? You bet.

This course is for anyone that wants to get into animation. It’s for someone wanting to pick up animation as a hobby. And it’s for those illustrators that want to add animation as a new skill. I tried to keep the length of this course compact, so you can start animating in under two hours. The lessons are set up in a way so that you can quickly revisit a topic for a refresher using the provided “Course Overview” PDF.
