Course author Tony Ross is a professional animator and trainer with over a decade of experience in both fields. He was a leader at the Creative Cow peer support community for designers, and has taught digital design and animation at the college level. He currently operates his own training service.
Here, Ross uses his experience to simplify Toon Boom Studio's complex tools and techniques.
After beginning with an overview of the interface, explaining the workspace, toolbars, timeline, and shortcut keys, he explains how to perform basic drawing and animation to create both traditional and stop-motion cartoons.
Ross explores the drawing tools in Toon Boom Studio, such as how to use shape tools, the polyline tool, the pencil tool, and more, before explaining how to create color and texture tools for smoothing, cutting and erasing, grouping, and flattening drawings.
Then, after learning the basics of drawing and coloring, Ross explains the various animation techniques, teaching important concepts such as using frames and keyframes, working with pivot points and rotation, easing, motion tools, and more.
Other chapters teach animating with bones, working with stop-motion animation, scene building, lip-syncing, and working with a storyline.
"There are two things I'm passionate about," Ross says, "one of them is teaching, and the second is animation. Learning shouldn't be complicated. Even the most complex tasks can be broken down into simple steps. I'm here to help you learn how to create complex animations very simply."
