In this After Effect & Photoshop workflow tutorial, I breakdown my process for creating this walk cycle animation & creating that grain texture frame by frame. I'm using this amazing illustration from the talented Sandro Rybak.

You are not only an animator, but also a real artist who know how to draw and breakdown an illustration. Absolutely incredible talent!

This "lock transparent pixels" trick in Photoshop is so handy! I used to literally create a clipping mask for each layer before to make shading. Thank you big time!

I think this is the first video I've ever seen without downvotes on youtube. You are the best and thanks for animating this Ben. You are the hero Youtube deserves.

I have much to learn! Didn't really understand how great the dissolve blend mode could be for textures!
