Course Highlights
The Character Rigging and 2D Animation in Toon Boom Course provides comprehensive, structured training focused on professional rigging and animation workflows. This course begins with preparing characters and progresses through rigging essentials, including deformers, eye structures, and detailed facial components. Learners will understand rig setup from foundational stages to advanced features, enabling precise and clean movement in animation.
Using Toon Boom Harmony, participants will apply mesh warp and envelope deformers, build custom mouth shapes, and control character expressions with nuanced techniques. The training integrates realistic motion principles such as easing and eye blinking, bringing digital drawings to life. Learners will animate full scenes in stages, enhancing timing, rhythm, and expression across sequences. The curriculum fosters accuracy, control, and creative flexibility throughout the animation pipeline.
By the final module, learners will complete a polished animated project, utilising every tool and technique taught. The course is ideal for creative individuals aiming to strengthen their Character Rigging and 2D Animation skills for freelance work, studio employment, or independent production.
