2D HEAD ROTATION
Creating a 2D head rotation animation in Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator involves a combination of illustration and animation techniques. Here's a step-by-step guide using both software:
Adobe Illustrator:
1. Create Character: Design your character's head in Adobe Illustrator. Draw each facial expression or view as separate layers or artboards.
2. Organize Layers: Keep each facial expression or view on its own layer or artboard for easy manipulation.
3. Prepare for Export: Once all views are ready, export them as individual image files (PNG or JPEG) with transparent backgrounds.
Photoshop:
1. Import Images: Open Photoshop and import the exported images of your character's head.
2. Set up Timeline: Go to Window > Timeline to open the Timeline panel. Create a new video timeline.
3. Arrange Layers: Arrange the layers in the order you want the rotation to occur. Each layer represents a different view of the head.
4. Create Frames: Create a keyframe for each frame of the animation. Adjust the visibility of layers for each keyframe to show the rotation sequence.
5. Adjust Timing: Adjust the duration of each frame to control the speed of the rotation.
6. Preview: Use the Play button in the Timeline panel to preview the animation.
7. Export: Once satisfied, export the animation as a GIF or video file.
Tips:
- Use reference images or guides to ensure smooth transitions between views.
- Experiment with easing options in the Timeline panel to add more fluidity to the animation
.
- Consider adding secondary animation, such as hair or accessories movement, to enhance realism.
- Save your work regularly to avoid losing progress.
