  How to create this moving drawing style in After Effects?

  Posted by Charlotte Greeven on February 17, 2017 at 8:09 am

  Hi!
  I’m an illustrator trying to find my way in After Effects. Now I wonder, how is this drawing effect done? The drawings seem to be moving all the time, is this done with a wiggle expression? And then masks to add the texture to the images?
  I normally draw and paint by hand but I’m considering to do way more drawing in Illustrator, to have more freedom in animating.

  I hope someone would like to help me further, thanks a million!

  You can never really tell these days, but…

  That looks hand-drawn to me. Back in the day we used to get that “wiggle” by just drawing two (or possibly three) versions of a frame and alternating between them. The natural variation between the frames creates the movement.
