What are Animation Tutorials?

Animation tutorials are guided lessons that teach you how to animate - from the basics of timing and movement to more advanced techniques like rigging, character acting, and 3D workflow.

If you want to learn animation in a way that’s simple, practical, and fun, these tutorials are made for you.

Whether you’re a total beginner or leveling up your skills, you’ll learn methods I use in real professional projects.

The second panel depicts a portal opening from a wall with a pen extending from it. The third panel reveals a lion-like character emerging from a waterfall on an island. The fourth panel shows a ship at sea with a sun and the moon in the sky, with the caption "STATIC SHOT" and arrows pointing to different elements. The fifth panel illustrates a worm-like creature with an eye, arching towards the ship. The sixth panel presents the word "ADVENTURE" formed with letters, each appearing from the bottom, with a note that each letter will appear from the bottom.

What will you learn in these tutorials?

Each tutorial focuses on one clear skill, broken down into small, easy steps:

  1. Fundamentals of Motion - Timing, spacing, squash & stretch

  2. 2D Animation Basics - Keyframes, inbetweens, clean lines

  3. 3D Animation Essentials - Posing, cameras, simple rigs

  4. Character Animation - Acting, expression, personality

  5. Motion Graphics - Shapes, transitions, smooth loops

  6. Full Mini-Projects - From concept to finished animation

Everything is explained visually, slowly, and clearly.
