I have help multiple colleagues over my 5 years in the Art Institute, and helped many more when it comes to figuring out how to approach 2D animation in a very effective and smart way. I have studie... d 2D animation for 12 years and worked with a handful of different programs within the years, Going from Adobe Flash to Clip Studio Paint to even a 3D Program called Blender. Each Program allowed me to experiment and challenge myself in very creative ways, While also helping me have a better understanding in Shape Language, Perspective and Color Theory. I will provide each lesson with information on how to navigate each program and how to apply the 12 animation principles, While also giving mini assignments within each lesson to test their knowledge. And give them a chance to test out their drawing skills but in a very slow and easy pace. My Website:https://www.tyrellthomasportfolio.com/read more

Hi! I'm Tyrell. I was born and raised in New Jersey, Newark, and I'm a graduate of The Art Institute of Washington and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Art and Animation. I have been animati... ng since I was in High School, Constantly reading books on different 2D animators processes when it comes to their art. During my 4 years studying in the art institute I read many books like The Animator's Survival Kit, Drawn to Life (both volumes). I have been using Adobe Flash for a decade and I been using Clip Studio paint for nearly 4 years and Blender for a few months. All these programs are great tools into getting into 2D animation! I'm very passionate when it comes to 2D animation and I usually help out my colleagues, when it comes to smaller projects that they have been working on for a while. From the few moments of tutoring I done within the Art Institute, I enjoyed having moments of talking about how to even start a animation or how to give a scene weight or scale. I want to be able to pass on the knowledge that I gained from constant trail and errors within my projects, and try motivating them to seek out the answers and not be afraid to ask many questions along the way. Don't be shy to ask me anything because trust me. I'm still learning everyday!read more
