Animationclub School - Free workshop: Animation take

A short, free practical workshop from Animationclub School that introduces a quick "animation take" - a brief character reaction animation using traditional 2D frame-by-frame techniques. The lesson is led by industry mentor Ksenia Inozemtseva and focuses on drawing a character in motion, conveying rapid emotion changes, and basic timing and desynchronization techniques.

The workshop is delivered as a recorded lecture with homework available on the school's online learning platform. The session material covers four key topics (animation take, character design per frame, timing, and desynchronization) and is suitable for beginners, aspiring animators and professionals looking to refresh specific 2D skills.

Recommended tools include TVPaint, Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, Clip Studio Paint and a drawing tablet. The course is free and can be started at any time.
