How to Animate the Pencil | Pencilmation Tutorial #3 - Summary

Summary

In this tutorial video, Mr. H demonstrates how to animate a pencil drawing a character in Adobe Flash. He starts by creating layers for the character, shadow, pencil, and sound effects. He then searches for a transparent pencil image and a suitable sound effect online and imports them into the project.

Mr. H begins by animating the character's erasure, gradually revealing it. He uses keyframes and reverses frames to achieve this effect. He also imports and synchronizes a sound effect to enhance the animation.

Next, he animates the movement of the pencil by using keyframes and classic tweens to make it appear as if the pencil is drawing the character. He adds a shadow for the pencil, blurs it, and synchronizes its movement with the pencil.

Finally, Mr. H concludes the animation by removing both the pencil and its shadow, resulting in a convincing animation of the character being drawn by the pencil.
