Master Cartoon Animator 5: How to Animate a Character Getting into and Driving a Car

Animation Life Blog: www.animationandvideo.com
(Resources, Reviews, Tips and Tricks for Independent, Semi Professional, and Hobby Animators).
In this video I show my full process for how I animate a character walking up to a vehicle, opening the door, getting inside, and driving away. It seems like a relatively simple task but if you've never animated something like this before you may not be aware of all the small tricks and Cartoon Animator features you need to know to make it happen.

THANKS I am also learning good attenpt but its not real looking , no body opening the door like this , police man standing inverse of car position its body not tilt , police man if stealing car then this animation can say ok , but pushing door like this ,if using opening door it uses hand and position standing oposit or corner of door , may be I am wrong but It is my opinion , you did nice job , I am learing from you ,

Thanks for the feedback. I do say in the video that I'm cheating with how the character opens the door. I literally say I know nobody opens car a door like this. I did it because the lesson is how to take a character and put it inside a car and then animate the two together in Cartoon Animator. It's not how to make a character realistically open a car door. To make the character open the door, even remotely accurately, I would've had to swap the character out with the 90 degree side facing character so he could more realistically use his left hand to open the door, likely adding another 15 minutes to an already long lesson. Maybe you could take up the challenge, follow this tutorial, except make the character in your version open the door more realistically?
