So the first challenge here is to decide what you would like to animate. So first of all, you have to make a plan. As an example, you can imagine that you would like to make an animation for your friend's birthday. So what would you like to know? To show in this animation, perhaps you would like to show a birthday cake. first birthday cake.

You can draw it with can with pencil with markers, whatever you like to use whatever color you have in mind. And don't forget that later on in Photoshop, you can also change the colors. So let's say this is the birthday cake and we have a candle on the top and you would like the candle light to move. So it's the second And it's separate from this one because you would like to move it separately. And then later in your animation that would be some balloons. You can throw different balloons or you can use the same one and transfer color in Photoshop again maybe to make another balloon also in red maybe And the shape of a heart.

So you create the all the layers you have basically emerging. And what else you could you would like to have in this animation and create the leaders separately. Try to make them not to touch each other. For example, here, the candle lead shouldn't touch this because later on, it's difficult you have to cut it out. But somehow, in the middle of the way you change your mind, there's always some ways to do it. And then at the end, you want to have maybe a message to your friends.

Maybe you want to have a birthday If you don't like what you have here, you try another a or I still don't like it And is it in Photoshop later on you remove this one and put up wonder. And your friend's name is Sarah. So you use a marker triangles. I don't think this is gonna work. Okay and some lines here on this page This is your plan. Basically, you're done withdrawing.

Now, but we learned how to make a plan for our animation, it's time to go back to the sample animation. These are the initial sketches I made for this animation. On the left hand side we have a girl, we have three sizes of her cheek. As you see here. We're going to discuss about that later. We have the party horn here, and that expands and we have some shapes emphasizes emphasizing on the sound of the party horn.

And here we have some simple tips. Now the shop is open. And from here, you can either scan your illustration or take a picture of it. I don't have a scanner, so I'll just take a picture with my iPhone. And now we're good To go to Photoshop
