I generated this cartoon with the help of AI
0:03
Then I used another platform to animate it. And then I used another platform to remove the background
0:11
In this video, I'll show you the step-by-step of the whole process
0:15
We are going to use three different platforms and the whole process is completely free
0:20
So if you guys are interested in this tutorial, let's go to my computer
0:25
For the first part of the process, we are going to use Canva.com
0:30
Under the social media category, I'm going to create an Instagram story document
0:36
It really doesn't matter which kind of document you select. I know that I want my character to be standing up
0:43
so this format is going to work well for what I'm going to create
0:48
So I'm going to click on create blank. This should open the editor and now we are going to open the apps section
1:01
If you scroll down, you will see the app text to image under popular
1:06
If you don't see it, you can search for it with this search bar. So you can type text to image, hit enter, and you will see the app right here
1:14
Click on the app. Now you need to describe the character you want the AI to generate for you in this box
1:22
I just want a bear. And then after you have described the character you want to create
1:29
you would like to add this extra prompt that I'm going to type in here
1:34
We want our character with defined legs, arms, and hopefully a neck
1:40
Now I'm going to select a different style from the ones that we see in here
1:45
So I'm going to click see all, scroll down, and then I'm going to select the color pencil option
1:52
The aspect ratio, I'm going for portrait and then click on create your image
1:58
The AI is working on four different options for us. And here we have the four different bears it generated
2:06
I'm going to bring this one to my empty page because this character actually has a full body
2:14
and the arms and the legs are not overlapping the body of the character
2:20
This is actually what we need. This is an example of what won't work after in the animation part
2:28
because the hands of the bear are overlapping the arms or kind of like the neck
2:34
So this is not going to work well with the animation. If the four different options the AI generated for you are not the best
2:42
you can click on create again and see if you get a better option of your character
2:48
If you don't like what you see, simply create again. And if you see something that you like, you can bring your design to a different page
2:57
After a couple of tries, I have a character that I actually really like
3:02
So it is this bear. I left it on page number two
3:06
We have the first bear generated on page number one. So I'm going to download this character right here
3:13
To download it, we are going to click on share, then select download
3:18
We can select PNG or JPEG in this option. And then because I have two different pages
3:24
I'm going to select only the page of the character that I want to use
3:29
I'm going to select done and then download. This is the second part of the process
3:39
In here, we are going to animate the character that we generated with the help of AI in Canva
3:45
So this time we are going to use a different platform. Enter this URL on your browser and you will land on this page that we are seeing on the screen
3:57
Here we have only one button. So we're going to click on get started
4:01
They also mention in here that we should upload a drawing of one character
4:07
where the arms and legs don't overlap the body. See examples below
4:12
So let's scroll down. We see here a couple of characters. You can see defined arms and legs
4:18
So let's upload our character. Click on this button, select the file of your character and click open
4:25
Once you see your character on this white square, click next. On this page, you can agree or disagree with these terms and conditions right here
4:36
I'm gonna click on disagree. In here, you would like to make sure that your character is complete
4:42
So let me increase the size of this selection and then click next
4:48
In this step, you would like to make sure that the whole body of your character is highlighted
4:53
If there is a part of the body that is missing, use the pen brush to highlight the missing part
5:00
And if you want to remove a section of your character, you can do it by using the eraser
5:07
As you can see, my bear is missing a foot. So I want to make it symmetrical and I'm gonna erase this foot right here
5:16
Okay, I think this is okay. We're gonna click next. In here, you would like to double check if all the points are on the right section
5:26
You can see this character for guidance. I think the points on the joints of my character are looking great
5:35
So I'm gonna click next. And your character is now animated. If there is something that doesn't look right on your animation, you can click on fix
5:45
And then you can play around with these points to see if you can better the movement of your character
5:52
So I believe these points on my character were very close to the armpit
5:58
and the arm was looking a little bit funny. So I think we should be fine like this
6:03
I'm gonna click next and see what it looks like. I think this is looking better
6:09
And let's see other kind of animations that they have in here
6:14
With this platform, you can make your character dance. You can make it look funny
6:19
You can make it jump. And you can also make it walk
6:23
If you want to preview any of these animations on your own character
6:28
click on the animation that you like. And your animation should be ready soon on this white square
6:38
If you're happy with the way your character moves, click on share
6:42
And you can download the animation by clicking on this button. After you have downloaded your preferred animation
6:49
you can play around with the other movements. And if you see something else that you like
6:54
you can continue downloading the different variations of the animations of your character
7:04
On this step, we are going to remove the white background of our animation
7:09
At this point, our animated character looks like this. It has a white square in the background
7:17
And yeah, it is animated. But if you want to use this character on many different kind of materials
7:24
the white background is not going to look the best. If you have your animated character with a transparent background
7:32
you can insert it into almost everything you want. So you are going to type unscreen.com on your browser
7:40
And you will land on this page. We're going to upload our animated character
7:46
And just like that, the AI on this platform has removed the background on this animation
7:53
To download it, we simply need to click download and save the animation on our computer
7:59
After you have downloaded your animated character without a transparent background, you can upload it back to Canva or to any content creation platform
8:10
In this case, Canva has an upload section. You can click on this button and upload this animated GIF to your project
8:18
And then you can add it to any video or any presentation
8:23
or any kind of content you need to create. I personally enjoy creating these kind of tutorials for you guys
