Animation Station With Neil Patrick Harris (Skillshare)

In our latest learning experiment, discover new talents with Neil Patrick Harris, as he learns to illustrate characters and animate scenes with Jon Burgerman. Neil Patrick Harris is a multi-talented, Tony-winning actor, singer, and dancer, but he’s ready to explore new skills and discover hidden talents. In this one-on-one session with artist Jon Burgerman, Neil learns the basics of drawing and animation to create playful characters and bring them to life through digital animation using Procreate on an iPad.

Together, they explore facial expressions, body shapes, and using paper scraps to inspire unexpected characters. Then, Neil takes his doodling to the next level and tries animating for the first time. Want to join in and work along with them? You can use a tablet with Procreate for animation, but you can also simply doodle along with some paper, something to draw with, and a passion for discovering your own hidden talents.
