How to Make Character Animations with Express Animate

How to Make Character Animations with Express Animate



Character animation allows you to bring animated characters to life using simple software and your own creativity. You can animate anything you would like such as clipart, computer drawings, text and more. Character animation used to be a very time-consuming and complicated process that only professional animators could do. However, now it is easier than ever for anyone to create this type of art and make character animations of their own. With simple and easy-to-use 2D animation software such as Express Animate, you can quickly learn how to make animations of your own in no time.



In this first video, you will learn how to create a character "puppet" or character from scratch to animate with Express Animate Animation Software. Use the pen tool to draw shapes and the Fill tool to add color to them.




This second video will demonstrate how to animate the character puppet that you created in the previous tutorial. Add anchor points to your object to create parent-child relationships and create keyframes to mark a changed state of any parameter in time.




And there you have it. Simply follow the steps demonstrated in the above tutorials and you too can create your own animation. Character animation is fun and easy and you will likely find yourself making them more and more now that you have learned how.
