Lesson 1: Drawing


In this lesson, you will work with Toon Boom Studio drawing tools to create frame-by-frame animation.

There are two animation sets for this lesson:

You’ll use the Drawing_Rough animation set to complete a walk cycle. You’ll use the onion skin, rotary light table, and the Toon Boom Studio centerline drawing tools and pressure-sensitive Brush tool to draw Mike Ant.

To start the Drawing Mike Ant lesson:

1. Open the Drawing_Rough animation set in the Lesson1_Drawing folder.

2. Save the animation in a location of your choice using File > Save As. Saving this animation set to a new location will ensure that you always have the original to return to and use should you want to.
