In this short tutorial, I walk through how you can use Frame Animation in Adobe Photoshop to create a hand drawn character animation. Using the video Timeline tool in Photoshop, I walk you through how to draw different character poses to depict movement.

Overview of Tutorial:

  • Breakdown Frame Animation Steps
  • Drawing Keyframes (Character Poses)
  • Drawing Inbetween Frames
  • How to Review the Animation
  • And How to Add Additional Animations or Movements

For my demonstration, I used an iPad, but you are welcome to use any other drawing pad like a Wacom or even your mouse. Though I do recommend using a drawing pad over the mouse to make the drawing experience easier.
