Udemy – NAKAWARI Course | Beginner Level [Part 2 of 4] Lessons 3–4

Even professional animators will be amazed!? Master the skill of “making drawings move”（in-betweening）!

“Drawing” and “making them move” are different things.
Being good at illustration or proficient in 3D CG and digital drawing tools doesn’t necessarily mean you can create animation.

• Making your own drawings move and creating animation
• Keyframing in 3D CG and creating animation

In order to make your drawings (or 3D models) move exactly how you envision, learning the technique of “in-betweening” (NAKAWARI) is essential.

“In-betweening” is the technique of adding additional drawings between keyframes to make the animation move smoothly.
In other words, learning “in-betweening” is learning how to “make drawings move” — it’s learning animation itself.

To express the actions and movements you imagine as animation, you need to develop:

• The rules of physics and natural phenomena
• Drawing (drafting/sketching) skills
• The observational skills of objects and phenomena.

In fact, even professional animators often struggle to fully understand and apply these concepts.

In this course, you’ll learn these essential skills and knowledge while mastering “in-betweening” (NAKAWARI)!
