Welcome to this Tutorial! You can create a Simple Animation with the help of 3D Figure.

I use the School Girl to create a Running Animation which ends with an hug between her and School Boy.

You only need Clip Studio Paint and a bit of patience!

Let's go!

Part 1

-Create New Animation File

-Drag and Drop the School Girl Model

-Edit the pose

-Duplicate the First School Girl Model Layer

-Set Opacity of First Layer

-Edit the pose of Second Layer of 3D School Girl

Now You have 2 Frames of Running Animation

Repeat the same step for other Frames, as many as You like

Tips: Create a Loop Running Animation, which mean the Pose in the First Model is very similar to the last

You can fix each Frame anytime

-Select each Layer and move them in the Animation Folder

-Go in the Timeline

-Right Click in the First Frame

-Add the First Layer

-Repeat and add each Layer

-Fix the outfit and the hair

Great, You have completed the First Part of Animation!

Part 2

Now We create another Running Animation with a background

-Select each Layer

-Duplicate them and put over the original Layers

-Add all New Layers in the Timeline

-Add Station Platform at the First Layer

-Set the Position of the Station

-Click on "Select Layout Preset" and choose this set

-Copy and Paste the Station 3D Model of First Layer in the Second Layer

-Set the Position of the Station (X-axis=-50)

-Repeat these steps for each Layer

Tips: Hide these Objects in the Tool Property

You have completed the Second Part of Animation!

Part 3

In this Part You can change the Point of View of Animation from right to left

-Enable Onion Skin

-Start to edit the Point of View from the intermediate Layer (hide other Layers, except the previous)

-When you see the right Wall empty, show Objects You hidden previously

If You want to improve something, do It! Take your time!

You have completed the Part 3!

Part 4

It's time to make the Jump Animation with hug between School Girl and School Boy!

-Select each Layer, except the one on top, and move them out of the Animation Folder

-Rasterize these Layers for less impact on our hardware

-Move again these Rasterize Layers in the Animation Folder

-Duplicate the First Layer

-Add this in the Timeline

-Edit the Pose and Point of View

-Repeat the same step for other Frames, as many as You like

-Add also the School Boy Character

Good Job, the Animation is complete!

Part 5

It's time to draw above the 3D Model!

 

-Select the First Layer in the Animation Folder

-Create New Vector Layer

-Draw the Line Art

 

-Repeat the same step for each Layer

Now draw the background of each Frame in another Vector Layer

-Delete the Animation Folder

 

The Line Art is over!

Part 6

Add a bit of color

-Set the color of Paper

-Add New Raster Layer between the First Layer of Character and Background

-Color the Character

-Merge the 3 Layers (Charcters, Colors, Background) of each Frame

-Repeat these steps for each Frame

-Create New Animation Folder

-Move all Layers in this Folder

-Add in the Timeline each Layer

-You can also add Shadows and Sparkles

-Export the Final Animation with these Settings

Congrats, you completed this Simple Animation!

I hope You had fun!
