In Part 1 of this three part series, we take a mug shot of a character and rig his eyes for blinking. Not only can this animation be used for many things down the road, but it will allow us to create a convincing head turn in Part 3.

In the second part of our advanced head turning tutorial series, we rig up a mouth capable of movements via a Smart Bone. Like the eyes in part 1, this will allow us to create a more polished head turn in our third part.

In part 3 on our series for shading, we add some highlights to the character's face to give the piece more volume. This includes adding highlights to the character's eyes as well. We do this with Anime Studio's Draw Shape and Add Point Tools.

Part 1 shows how to draw and organise your layers. I use Mike Kelleys 'Swiss Army Points' tool, available at www.animatorsforum.com to make drawing easier, but you can do everything with the stock tools.

While you can have Anime Studio automate the shading process, it's usually best to manually apply the effect so you can have greater control over it. This tutorial shows you how to create some basic cartoon shading effects using the Add Point and Create Shape Tools. This is part 1 of a mini series on shading and shadows.
