Our second free pick is by Gonzalo Corder—illustrator, animator, and motiongrapher—who will guide you through the art of rotoscoping. Rotoscoping is an animation technique where you trace over video footage frame by frame, allowing you to bring greater realism, movement, expression, shadows, and light to your drawings.
In this course, you’ll learn how to illustrate over real images using Photoshop, Art Rage, and After Effects.
The course lasts 8 hours and 5 minutes, with 50 lessons. You’ll complete two projects: a personal project based on a video clip of your choice, and a collaborative rotoscoping project with your classmates over time.
