In the second part of  our Tip of the Week  tutorials How to make Elbow Folds  our resident expert and Professional Product Manager, Lilly Vogelesang, will continue from last weeks tutorial. 

• Did you watch Part 1 How to make Elbow folds?

The 9 minute video in Part 2 explains about the way which folds can be created around the elbow, for example to show the wrinkles and folds on a sleeve in Animate, Animate Pro or Harmony.

Lilly begins by talking about Adjusting drawing layers and compares this with redrawing and morphing: Lilly then explains about how you would adjust the z-depth of drawings  and finally, a quick refresher on the circle technique which is used for the shape of the folds.

So get comfortable, watch the video and learn how to experience a better way to more efficient and satisfying animation, with our Tip of the Week.
