At the end of 2020 I joined the animation challenge organized by Markus Magnusson, Motion Design School and Aescripts.
Every two weeks was released the adobe illustrator file of nicely designed wizard. That was great opportunity to practice animation and develop my technical skills. My goal was to focus on creating After Effects 2.5d rigs, to develope an appropriate workflow for vector characters with outlines. See below what came out!
