A course by Natalia Rojas
Natalia Rojas is the director of the graphics collective Los Naked, a group of designers that like to draw, dance, cook, and tell stories. Los Naked emerged almost seven years ago, while Natalia was still studying Visual Arts. Once she finished her studies, Natalia took a course in traditional animation using pencil and paper. From then on, her work focuses on the moving image, another form of telling a story.
She has worked with clients like Revista Semana, Avianca, El Malpensante, Sad Magazine, Editorial Santillana, Shock, Fondo de turismo, Colombian design brands like Breathe and Tuá e Muá, and social and educational platforms like Sentiido and Usted mismo.

The course is very well done. Anyone who is starting out and learning short animations, but also has just a basic knowledge of working in procreate, will learn useful things and techniques that will make the work easier and more enjoyable.
The short videos are always dedicated to a typical topic. It's motivating to see the step-by-step progression in each video as the images come to life. The course will definitely help to self-create and transfer new information into practice.
