Use these new skills as a platform.
Explore unlimited ideas and experiments. Your creativity is the limit - an animation woven into knitwear, a loop dripped with candle wax or tattooed on skin - the opportunities are truly limitless.
Not just limited to Photoshop animation.
Learn how to prepare any digital piece for hand painting, so you can switch between whichever software suits you best.
Speed up your hand painting process.
Make a laborious technique fun and therapeutic instead - prepare your colours, neaten those outlines and develop an ergonomic workflow.
Hi, I’m Jocie - your tutor for this course.
I can’t count how many people have asked me “where can I learn animation online?” so I started this course to answer that very question.
I’ve been working as an animation director for 9 years, teaching for 7, and have taught hundreds of students in that time.
I created my first in-person Photoshop Animation course in 2016 and these online courses are a culmination of all that experience.
