Ben Marriott shows how to animate a water splash by drawing all the frames.

Motion Designer Ben Marriott covers creating a water splash animation drawing all the frames by hand. If you are just getting started with animation or would like to learn how to animate a free-form splash traditionally, this is the tutorial for you. 

In the tutorial, Ben covers the physical properties of water or other liquids and uses them as a rule for animating. “You will learn the fundamentals and physics of any water, liquid, & droplet animations,” Ben mentions. The tutorial doesn’t require specific software, just one that will allow you to draw and view with an onion skin mode.
