Discover the magic of bringing your characters and ideas to life through 2D animation in ToonSquid for iPad. In this hands-on 5-day workshop, you’ll learn essential animation principles like squash and stretch, arcs, timing and overlap—applying them to short exercises and your own original animated scene.
Whether you’re exploring animation for the first time or starting to build skills for a future in film, TV or games, this workshop will help you sharpen your instincts, build strong habits and make your animation feel solid, expressive and alive.
Bring your charged iPad loaded with Toonsquid, your Apple Pencil and your creativity—and be ready to explore, experiment and create! By the end of our week, you’ll walk away with your own original animated clip and the skills to keep growing from there.
