Master 2D Character Animation in Adobe Animate-Advance Level

Bring your characters to life with expressive movement and professional animation techniques in “Master 2D Character Animation in Adobe Animate.” This in-depth course is designed for aspiring animators, students, and creative professionals who want to learn how to animate characters from scratch using Adobe Animate.

Starting with the basics, you’ll learn how to dissect and rig characters in both front and 3/4th views, draw lips and facial expressions, and prepare them for animation. You’ll then move on to essential animation skills—eye blinks, lip syncing with audio, hand gestures, facial expressions, and head turns—to add real life and emotion to your characters.

Master movement with dedicated sections on walk cycles, run cycles, and bone tool rigging. You'll begin with standard side and 3/4th walks and runs, then dive deep into attitude walks and runs—Happy, Sad, Angry, Sneak, Dreamy, Smug, and Scared—in both profile and 3/4th views, learning how emotion influences body mechanics and timing.

The course finishes strong with a dynamic section on animal locomotion, where you’ll animate walks, trots, gallops, and runs of animals like horses, dogs, cats, camels, bears, kangaroos, and mice.

Each tutorial includes step-by-step demonstrations, practice files, and assignments to help you apply what you’ve learned. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills to animate any 2D character confidently—whether for games, films, or your own creative projects.
