Description

Animate a 2D character and create an animated avatar in GIF format frame by frame

You will begin knowing the work and the influences of Flare.

Next, you will discover the life and work of an animated GIF or, what is the same, the characteristics of the GIF format, the types that exist, their use in communication and resources and platforms to create them.

Then, it will be time to get down to work and start creating an animated GIF that will serve as your avatar. To do this, you will create the first sketches of the character that will represent you in the virtual world and you will discover some basic concepts of frame-to-frame animation.

Later, you will enter Photoshop as an animation tool. At this point you will learn to appreciate the first level of movement and later to give it fluency through tricks and resources such as keyframes, anticipation, inbetweens or rough.

It will only be necessary to add color to your avatar, polish the last details and export it in gif format so that you can use it in different supports and social networks.
