Over the course of 12 YouTube videos, animator John Becker teaches you techniques used by Disney animators to create life-like characters and objects for their feature films. This includes squash and stretch, poses, staging and exaggeration.
These tips are not only easy for anyone to understand, but they add so much life and realism to your drawings. Even if you’re not creating an animation (stop-motion is great for young students and you can create one using an iPad), the information shared is equally useful for storyboards and comic strips, where anticipation and timing is important.
