This practical short course introduces you to the lesser-known animation tools in Photoshop. You will learn how to create ‘traditional’ 2D hand-drawn animation using a Wacom graphics tablet, and make the most of Photoshop’s advanced brushes and image-editing capabilities to create work with a unique hand-made look. You will also learn about exporting your work as movies or as animated GIFs for uploading to social media or websites, and how to customise the Photoshop interface to help your workflow.
