Description

Do you dream of creating professional-quality 2D animations? Toon Boom Harmony is the industry-standard software used by major studios worldwide, and in this course, you’ll learn how to master it from the ground up.

Starting with the basics, you’ll explore the Harmony interface, customize your workspace, and get comfortable with drawing tools, layers, timeline and the node view. From there, you’ll dive into the foundations of animation, including frame-by-frame drawing, cut-out animation, and scene setup.

As you progress, you’ll build complete character rigs using pegs and hierarchy structures, then bring it to life with walk a cycle. You’ll also learn how to apply effects inside of the node view, as well as load in assets for your project.

For those ready to push further, advanced modules cover rotating pegs, drawing substitutions, and custom color palettes.

To wrap up, you’ll get some tips as well as additional nodes and backdrops to help organize your character’s hierarchy.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to create animations in Toon Boom Harmony — and a roadmap for turning your passion into a career.
