Learn How to Make Eyes Dart in Animation

DNEG animator Calle Halldin returns with a new tutorial, which shows how to make eyes dart in a cartoonish animation using the familiar face of the cat from Tom and Jerry.

It's not as simple as moving eyes left and right: the character's brows, mouth, and ears are also "alive" and moving, and in this short video tutorial, Halldin demonstrates what exactly you should pay attention to when animating such sequences.
