Lesson 2: Painting

In this lesson, you will paint the infamous Mike Ant, and give him some color!

There are two animation sets for this lesson:

• Painting_Rough
• Painting_Final

In the Painting_Rough animation set, you’ll build a color palette for Mike Ant and create a gradient color swatch. Then you’ll paint Mike Ant using Toon Boom Studio power-paint features that will speed the painting process.

To start the Painting Mike Ant lesson:

1. Open the Painting_Rough animation set in the Lesson2_Painting folder.

2. Save the animation in a location of your choice using File > Save As.

3. Click the Play button and watch Mike Ant run!

You’re going to give Mike some color, as well as give him a real reason to run - red hot flames licking his back!
