Creating Characters for Cartoon Animator 4

  • Course
  • 20 Lessons

There is absolutely nothing like when you create your own character and see how it comes to life when you import it into an animation software and start to animate it. It is a very satisfying feeling. And that is why I created this online course to help animators create their very own 2D characters ready to be animated inside Cartoon Animator 4. It is a very easy course to follow and without a doubt for beginners.
