Learn to animate your own characters in 2D Animation 101's CrazyTalk Animator 3.1 course. Although CrazyTalk Animator is a relatively easy animation software to start creating in right away it becomes apparent, very quickly, that creating great animation with it requires much more in depth knowledge of the application. 2D Animation 101's course,  Create Animated Series for YouTubers in CrazyTalk Animator 3.1 , is by far, the best course available to lead you to those great results. Initially the course was free for anyone who purchased CrazyTalk Animator 3.1, however if you missed that offer the course is available both through 2DAnimation101's website and Udemy . Presented as a series of video tutorials, instructor Mark Diaz, takes you through the entire process of scripting, storyboarding, and creating scenes using your own custom characters (created in Photoshop) with the focus, specifically on scene creation and the animation process in CrazyTalk Animator. The course ...

TET Moho Avatar. It's nearly 2 months since I last posted to this blog so I thought it was way beyond time I made the obligatory 'I'm not dead, check in with anyone wondering where I've been and what I've been up to' post. Looking back at my two last update posts, the first from March 2016 and the second from July 2016 I'd like to say the reason for my lack of posting is different but no, still Animation 4 Business  client projects have been a factor. However these have only been a factor up until the end of May 2017 (since my last post in mid April 2017) where I took on a project of six 1-2 minute GoAnimations to be completed in just over a month all by myself. Since that job wrapped I"ve been having a kind of break and trying to rethink and revitalize my whole Art Time Productions / The Extraordinary Tourist empire. As well I've been chipping away at a new, completely separate business venture, an independent blog titled, Digital Art and Animat...

The  Parblo Coast22 21.5" Graphic Drawing Tablet Monitor is the largest sub AU$1000.00 pen display monitor I could find that met all my other criteria. When it comes to drawing surfaces I believe the bigger the better, hence my choice. I know there are bigger displays but my budget didn't stretch that far. I also know WACOM pen display tablets are generally better quality products but I didn't want to settle for the 13.3" screen of the Cintiq 13HD , the only one of their tablets in my price range. It should be noted that this is my first Pen Display monitor. Prior to this I was using a WACOM Intuos 4 Drawing Tablet (which is no longer available but is similar to the Intuos Pro Tablets ). This was a factor in my choice not to stick with a smaller WACOM display tablet. I figure, what I don't know I won't miss. Even if a WACOM 13HD is better for drawing - I'm not going to know. That said, I can still compare the Parblo Coast22 to my WACOM Intuos. If you want...

As mobile phones become more powerful with bigger screens it just makes sense to utilize these devices as a sketchbook. Chances are, your mobile phone is nearly always within arms reach anyway so, instead of carrying a sketchbook everywhere, why not just use your phone? My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5, running Android 6. It's fairly powerful and has a relatively large screen. Prior to that I had a Nokia, Lumia 720 phone running Windows 8.1. It has a smaller screen but I used it a lot for sketching ideas and characters. Generally most modern phones with a capacitive touch screen (the kind that you can use your fingers with) should be fine for sketching. However, most phones don't come with a stylus. If your's does and you find it works well for drawing you can skip to the next section. If you have time to spare I made a video that covers most of the information in this post and includes an actual demonstration of me creating a simple artwork from start to finish. Wha...

So you've bought Smith Micro's Moho Pro 12 along with the Moho, 10 hour, 104 Video Tutorials Add On pack so you can get learning right away... only you can't. For whatever reason, the video tutorials aren't sorted into any logical order of progression making them hard to follow. Yeah, I've been there, only I've done what Smith Micro should have done and sorted all the video tutorials into a logical order of natural progression for you. That is, each tutorial builds upon what you learned in previous videos and you won't suddenly come up against some feature you've never used before, unless that feature is what the video tutorial is about. As I sorted through all 104 videos I blogged my progress in a 12 part series that lists the video tutorials in the order you should attempt them and gives highlights of what some of the videos contain. Links to all 12 blog posts are below. Learning Moho Pro 12 (Anime Studio Pro): 12 Part Blog Series Alvin Owl by TET. I...

Applying a Smart Warp to a Raster Image. All of the points can now be key framed. It's hard to believe I made it to the last nine tutorial videos for Moho Pro 12 but here we are. The final nine. These videos focus on all the new features added to Moho Pro 12 that you won't find if you bought the cheaper Debut version. So, to find out what you're missing, or to see what you have (if you did or are buying the Pro version) read on. Read the previous post here .

Pin Bones - Moho 12 It really has been a marathon of video watching and at this point I'm down to the final 18 Moho tutorial videos that came with my software purchase. These videos focus specifically on the new features of Moho Debut and Pro 12 . I'm eager to get through these as quickly as possible so, let's get straight to it. You'll find my previous post here . The list below are the tutorial titles that I've completed for this post and my summaries of each follow after that. Each title is linked to its corresponding video on YouTube. Debut New Features New GUI New Library New Layers Panel Bone Enhancements Pin Bones Auto Freeze Keys SVG Import Export Distorting an image using pin bones. The first video in this batch is the only video for Moho Debut, the lower priced and fewer features version of the software.
