Some tips
Before you begin to learn the skills of classical 2D animation professionally, we recommend performing simple exercises that will help you determine whether this activity is right for you. Introducing a practice of daily sketches can significantly improve your animated drawing skills.
An important exercise at the beginning of your training is creating an animated take—a quick reaction of a character to something or someone. By doing this exercise, you can enhance your skills in drawing a character in motion, learn to maintain its volume, and work on some fundamental principles of animation.

A lesson from Ksenia Inozemtseva will help you figure out how to convey the rapid change of emotions of a character. In practice, you will get a shot (a small animation of surprise / fright) with Jacques the frog.

questions
about the course
Why Is This More Effective Than Self-Study?
First, we’ve gathered all the essential materials for you, so you don’t waste time searching for lessons and resources online.
Second, you always have access to the instructor — if you run into issues, you can ask questions and get professional answers.
Most importantly, our course is structured to guide you step-by-step, from simple to complex, preventing confusion.
Why It Might Be Better Than a Traditional University?
Because we teach practical skills! Our focus is on getting you animating after just a few lessons, rather than spending years on theory. Plus, we offer a flexible schedule — learn whenever it’s convenient for you!
At what age is it possible to take school courses?
We accept students from the age of 16, since the course program is intensive and it will be difficult for a child to keep up and understand.
BUT, on an individual basis, we can accept students from 14 years of age on the course. At the same time, we consider the student’s work and potential.
Where will the training materials be?
The study room is located on the learning platform, there will be lessons with course materials and there you will have to submit your homework for review by your mentor. Links to the webinars (and their recordings) will be published in the course chat group. You will receive detailed instructions on the training process a couple of days before the start of training.
I didn’t receive an email from the school, what should I do?
It happens that letters end up in the “spam” or “promotion” sections, so we recommend checking these folders too, and also making sure that the mailing address was entered correctly. If you still cannot find the letter, write to us in the chat on the website, instant messengers or any of the social networks and we will help resolve the issue.
