The most impactful Skillshare classes that boosted my career

Skillshare gives new users one free month! That gives you enough time to explore many great free classes, including my new one, where I teach Blender Grease Pencil.

To make the most of this free month, here are some classes that have had a significant impact on how I work and understand animation:

Animating with Purpose: Movement and Expression by Claudio Salas

Claudio Salas is brilliant. He shows you how to create impactful movement, even if your design is super simple.

Character Animation Basics: Create a Dance Loop with After Effects and Photoshop by Bee Grandinetti

I’ve been a long-time fan of Bee Grandinetti . Her class had such a big impact on my work that my first Skillshare class covers a similar topic: combining different programs and techniques to create great animation.

The Art of Animation: How to Create Lifelike Movement by Emanuele Colombo

The 12 principles are beautiful in theory, but Emanuele Colombo demonstrates how to apply them in practice inside After Effects. It completely changed the way I animate!

The Business of Graphic Design: Protect & Perfect Your Passion by Aaron Draplin

If I see Aaron James Draplin in a thumbnail, I click. He’s one of the people I aspire to be like. All his classes are game-changing, but this one is especially important as he talks about the business side of creativity.

Your First Day in Blender 3D by SouthernShotty3D

To take my latest class about Blender Grease Pencil, you should already have basic knowledge of the program. In my opinion, nobody is better than SouthernShotty3D to guide you through your first steps. His classes are great, and he has tons of free videos on YouTube.
