This class is designed for beginners, but if you’re brand new to Illustrator, I’d recommend watching my Adobe Illustrator Essentials class first. This class covers all the basics with a focus on the essential skills motion designers need to know to create illustrations to animate.
Then, once you’ve completed this class and illustrated a set of icons, watch my class, Easy Animated Icons to learn how to animate them in Adobe After Effects.
Successfully completing this class requires a computer or laptop with:

...and I’m an explanimator. I have over a decade of professional experience writing, illustrating, and animating educational animations.
I've taught motion design to 40,000+ students on online and at the University of Colorado.
I know where beginners get stuck, because I was stuck there too. I’m a self-taught motion designer, striving to help you learn motion design more efficiently than I did.
I write, illustrate, and animate educational animations to empower healthier choices for us and our planet.
I also share what I know about animation through online classes.
