03 [What Are the Best 2D Rigging Animation Tools?](#Part 3)
Part 1 All You Need to Know About Rigging
For this first part, we’re going to talk about Rigging in a general way. Think of it as an introduction to the subject. One that should, hopefully, set you off on the right foot. It should also help clarify things that you might need to know as we delve into deeper and more advanced subjects in the next sections of this article.
01What is the Meaning of Rigging in Animation?
Alright, so what does rigging 2D characters actually do? What meaning, or effect, does it have? These questions can be quickly answered with this: Rigging (whether it’s or 3D) is the practice of attaching ‘bones’ to a character model. Bones that, in the future, you can use to create motion.
If you’re an artist, then you’re probably familiar with the concept of creating an initial sketch that you put the final drawing on top of — done with the sole purpose of creating a structure that will allow you to move forward more easily in your art.
That’s exactly what you do when Rigging. You’re building a structure that will allow you to easily create animated characters that you can move at will in the future.
02Why Use Animation?
Alright, so what’s the difference between creating a Face Rig and a Face Rig? Is there any? To answer this, the simple answer is, yes. There is quite the difference.
A lot of animators prefer to practice Animation over Animation because it is more traditional and requires less complicated software (not that it doesn’t come with complications of its own.) Specifically, animation requires quite a lengthy character creation and rigging process.
You should consider the subject more based on what project you’re working on. Things that you might want to keep in mind include your project timeline, project budget, character rig usability in the future, length of the project, and so on.
(There’s also a more in-depth breakdown of this in of this guide.)
03What is Animation Rigging Software?
Now, for the last section of this Rigging overview, let’s talk about Rigging Animation Software. You should be able to guess what it’s meant for, but how you can use it is a little different, especially with the many different varieties of Rigging Animation Software available.
We’ll be introducing some in the third part of this guide — so you can learn more about the differences there. For now, all you need to know is that it usually comes with advanced rigging and character deformer tools that you can use to easily (and efficiently) animate your characters.
Part 2 What is the Difference and Connection Between and 3D
As promised, this next section will be devoted to clarifying the differences and similarities between Animation and Animation. As we mentioned previously, most animators prefer Animation. But, more often than not, they switch between both forms in order to create something suitable for their current project.
01How and Animations Are Created
First, let’s talk about the process involved. In the end, this can be described simply as: it starts off the same, but then becomes significantly more and more dissimilar the further you go along. More specifically, whether you’re working on a or Animation, you usually start with working through your vision for the project.
That means exploring ideas and creating hand-illustrated storyboards (which will serve as the foundation for the project as a whole). Then, the next steps involve media gathering (i.e., character creation, sound clips, voice-overs, sound effects, etc.) So that everything would be ready for the project.
This is when the difference starts. Animation involves hand-drawing characters in different poses and angles (with the standard being frames for a second) and can be completed with basic rigging (i.e., face rig for moving mouths or eyes). It’s normal in Animation as well for characters to remain static for several frames. While, with 3D, it is the exact opposite — the characters must be in constant motion so as to remain realistic (which can be done with extensive rigging.)
02Time Investments for Creating and Animations
Next, let’s talk about time investments. This can be a bit tricky to differentiate. Animations, as mentioned, are generally easier to create because it requires less rigging (but more drawings for certain scenes and angles makes it take more time). Meanwhile, Animation usually involves a front-heavy timeline — since you’re looking at intensive character creation and rigging. Once all this is set up though? The rest of the process is much faster than Animation.
You’ll also have to consider the work that you have to put in after your animations have been created. For example, the work you’ll need to put into finalizing your project with a video editor like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor (which would work great with animations especially, as it will allow you to actively add into the timeline as you go.)

Part 3 What Are the Best Rigging Animation Tools?
For this final section of the guide, we’re finally moving on to our introduction to Rigging Animation Software. As mentioned, we’ve picked quite the variety to make sure that you have a good idea of how each will work. (A sample video has also been attached to make sure that you know what kind of projects can be created with these Rigging tools. Take the opportunity to explore those, too. If only for further edification.)
01Reallusion – Cartoon Animator 4
The first of the Rigging Animation Software on this list is Reallusion’s Cartoon Animator 4 (previously known as CrazyTalk Animator). This software was originally developed in order to allow everyone (from beginners to professionals) to create advanced animations with very little effort. To that end, it comes with a lot of motion templates and Auto Rig functions (i.e., audio lip-syncing) that the user can use to seriously cut down on the work required.
02Harmony ToonBoom
Harmony ToonBoom is well-known in the Rigging Animation Software industry. It’s the software that is used by many professionals. According to the Toon Boom Harmony website, this software was even used to create popular television shows like Rick and Morty, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Futurama. It’s considerably more difficult to use for beginners, but it comes with many advanced functions that allow its users to create truly complex and beautiful Animations.
03Synfig Studio
The best thing about Synfig Studio (right from the onset), is that it is FREE. There are two versions of this tool — one that is ‘stable’ and the other in ‘development.’ The developmental version offers more advanced functions, of course, but for most beginners, the ‘stable’ version would serve just as well.
04Adobe Animate
Adobe Animate is software that belongs in Adobe’s long line of professional-level products. It’s a part of the classic ‘Adobe Suite.’ As a professional software, however, keep in mind that it might be more difficult to get used to at first (there’s a steep, learning curve right off the bat). But, if used correctly, it can be used to create quite impressive and eye-catching interactive animations (i.e., game content or website elements.)
05Animaker
Animaker is quite popular for beginners. It offers templates, so you can start off with an easy project if that’s what you’d like. But it also offers a lot of custom-creation tools that can be used for creating complex and professional Animations — although perhaps not at the level as the ones you might see from other alternatives (this software is most suitable for simple animations.)
06Moho Pro
Moho Pro (previously known as Anime Studio Pro) is a popular Animation program that fans of anime really love. This is one of the best software to use if you’re more interested in traditional animation (which involves a lot of free-hand drawing). Although, despite that fact, it has many advanced rigging functions as well (so you can create a mix of traditional and modern animation if you wish.)
07Pencil 2D
Pencil 2D, much like Synfig Studio, is FREE, cross-platform software. It’s quite old, but it’s matured over the years to include more and more functions (you might already be personally aware of it, in fact. It had its time to shine in the early 2010s.) The important thing to remember though is the fact that this is definitely more of a ‘traditional animation’ software. It does offer some basic rigging, but it’s best used by those who would prefer to practice the art of frame-by-frame animation.
08OpenToonz
OpenToonz is another free Rigging Animation Software (although it should be noted that there is a premium version, called Toonz, that is quite well known.) The best part about it is that it is a combination of software. One that you can use both for traditional animation and Animation. It’s also pretty easy to use, making it a good option for those just starting out.
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● 2D Rigging is the practice of creating ‘structure’ or ‘bones’ from which you can move characters or models. In these are usually ‘pins’ placed in bendable areas (i.e., the elbow, for bending the arm.)
● There are many differences between Animation and Animation. What you end up choosing should be decided by your project.
● Remember though, that Animations usually take longer to create even though Animations require more complex riggings.
● If you’re serious about getting into Rigging, make sure to consider the Rigging Animation Software that you choose to use very carefully. Each one has its own pros and cons.

Animation involves hand-drawing characters in different poses and angles (with the standard being frames for a second) and can be completed with basic rigging (i.e., face rig for moving mouths or eyes). It’s normal in Animation as well for characters to remain static for several frames. While, with 3D, it is the exact opposite — the characters must be in constant motion so as to remain realistic (which can be done with extensive rigging.)
02Time Investments for Creating and Animations
Next, let’s talk about time investments. This can be a bit tricky to differentiate. Animations, as mentioned, are generally easier to create because it requires less rigging (but more drawings for certain scenes and angles makes it take more time). Meanwhile, Animation usually involves a front-heavy timeline — since you’re looking at intensive character creation and rigging. Once all this is set up though? The rest of the process is much faster than Animation.
You’ll also have to consider the work that you have to put in after your animations have been created. For example, the work you’ll need to put into finalizing your project with a video editor like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor (which would work great with animations especially, as it will allow you to actively add into the timeline as you go.)

Part 3 What Are the Best Rigging Animation Tools?
For this final section of the guide, we’re finally moving on to our introduction to Rigging Animation Software. As mentioned, we’ve picked quite the variety to make sure that you have a good idea of how each will work. (A sample video has also been attached to make sure that you know what kind of projects can be created with these Rigging tools. Take the opportunity to explore those, too. If only for further edification.)
01Reallusion – Cartoon Animator 4
The first of the Rigging Animation Software on this list is Reallusion’s Cartoon Animator 4 (previously known as CrazyTalk Animator). This software was originally developed in order to allow everyone (from beginners to professionals) to create advanced animations with very little effort. To that end, it comes with a lot of motion templates and Auto Rig functions (i.e., audio lip-syncing) that the user can use to seriously cut down on the work required.
02Harmony ToonBoom
Harmony ToonBoom is well-known in the Rigging Animation Software industry. It’s the software that is used by many professionals. According to the Toon Boom Harmony website, this software was even used to create popular television shows like Rick and Morty, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Futurama. It’s considerably more difficult to use for beginners, but it comes with many advanced functions that allow its users to create truly complex and beautiful Animations.
03Synfig Studio
The best thing about Synfig Studio (right from the onset), is that it is FREE. There are two versions of this tool — one that is ‘stable’ and the other in ‘development.’ The developmental version offers more advanced functions, of course, but for most beginners, the ‘stable’ version would serve just as well.
04Adobe Animate
Adobe Animate is software that belongs in Adobe’s long line of professional-level products. It’s a part of the classic ‘Adobe Suite.’ As a professional software, however, keep in mind that it might be more difficult to get used to at first (there’s a steep, learning curve right off the bat). But, if used correctly, it can be used to create quite impressive and eye-catching interactive animations (i.e., game content or website elements.)
05Animaker
Animaker is quite popular for beginners. It offers templates, so you can start off with an easy project if that’s what you’d like. But it also offers a lot of custom-creation tools that can be used for creating complex and professional Animations — although perhaps not at the level as the ones you might see from other alternatives (this software is most suitable for simple animations.)
06Moho Pro
Moho Pro (previously known as Anime Studio Pro) is a popular Animation program that fans of anime really love. This is one of the best software to use if you’re more interested in traditional animation (which involves a lot of free-hand drawing). Although, despite that fact, it has many advanced rigging functions as well (so you can create a mix of traditional and modern animation if you wish.)
07Pencil 2D
Pencil 2D, much like Synfig Studio, is FREE, cross-platform software. It’s quite old, but it’s matured over the years to include more and more functions (you might already be personally aware of it, in fact. It had its time to shine in the early 2010s.) The important thing to remember though is the fact that this is definitely more of a ‘traditional animation’ software. It does offer some basic rigging, but it’s best used by those who would prefer to practice the art of frame-by-frame animation.
08OpenToonz
OpenToonz is another free Rigging Animation Software (although it should be noted that there is a premium version, called Toonz, that is quite well known.) The best part about it is that it is a combination of software. One that you can use both for traditional animation and Animation. It’s also pretty easy to use, making it a good option for those just starting out.
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● 2D Rigging is the practice of creating ‘structure’ or ‘bones’ from which you can move characters or models. In these are usually ‘pins’ placed in bendable areas (i.e., the elbow, for bending the arm.)
● There are many differences between Animation and Animation. What you end up choosing should be decided by your project.
● Remember though, that Animations usually take longer to create even though Animations require more complex riggings.
● If you’re serious about getting into Rigging, make sure to consider the Rigging Animation Software that you choose to use very carefully. Each one has its own pros and cons.

Part 1 What is a 2D Animation Video and How Much Does a 2D Animation Video Cost?
First things first; what is a 2D animation and why is it necessary to hire a 2D animation company? In layman’s terms, a 2D animation is a video where the movements are represented in two-dimensional space. The subjects in the video can either move forward or backward, but they can’t be allowed to move in a third dimension (depth).
Now, even though there are tools you can use to edit a 2D animation on your own, the process is time-consuming and requires certain expertise. And, since the primary objective of creating a 2D animation video is to engage potential customers, it’s always necessary to be super creative with the editing approach. This is the reason why the majority of brands hire professional 2D animation studios for the job.
The cost to create a 2D animation video can range anywhere between $1,000 to $10,000. It all depends on the length of the video, the production company you hire, and the quality you are looking for. But, it’s also worth noting that high pricing does not always mean superior quality as well. You’ll have to be extra cautious while picking through the best 2D animation studios.
Part 2 How Much Time Does It Take to Create a 2D Animation Video?
Due to their immense popularity in the marketing world, many business owners and marketers want to know how much time it takes to create a 2D animation video. Well, the answer is - it depends. If you have hired a team of professional editors or a dedicated 2D animation company, you’ll get your animated video within a week. However, if you try to follow the DIY approach and don’t know where to get started, it can even take up to 3-4 weeks for the video to complete.

03 [What Are the Best Company for Creating 2D Animation Video?](#Part 3)
Part 1 What is a 2D Animation Video and How Much Does a 2D Animation Video Cost?
First things first; what is a 2D animation and why is it necessary to hire a 2D animation company? In layman’s terms, a 2D animation is a video where the movements are represented in two-dimensional space. The subjects in the video can either move forward or backward, but they can’t be allowed to move in a third dimension (depth).
Now, even though there are tools you can use to edit a 2D animation on your own, the process is time-consuming and requires certain expertise. And, since the primary objective of creating a 2D animation video is to engage potential customers, it’s always necessary to be super creative with the editing approach. This is the reason why the majority of brands hire professional 2D animation studios for the job.
The cost to create a 2D animation video can range anywhere between $1,000 to $10,000. It all depends on the length of the video, the production company you hire, and the quality you are looking for. But, it’s also worth noting that high pricing does not always mean superior quality as well. You’ll have to be extra cautious while picking through the best 2D animation studios.
Part 2 How Much Time Does It Take to Create a 2D Animation Video?
Due to their immense popularity in the marketing world, many business owners and marketers want to know how much time it takes to create a 2D animation video. Well, the answer is - it depends. If you have hired a team of professional editors or a dedicated 2D animation company, you’ll get your animated video within a week. However, if you try to follow the DIY approach and don’t know where to get started, it can even take up to 3-4 weeks for the video to complete.
Part 3 What Are the Best Company for Creating 2D Animation Video?
Now that you know the cost and time it takes to create a 2D animation video, let’s dive into the list of the most popular 2D animation studios you can hire for the next project. We have listed these companies on the basis of their customer reviews and pricing so that you can make the right decision easily.

10 Caricature Makers to Turn Your Photo to Caricature Effects
10 Caricature Makers to Turn Your Photo to Caricature Effects
An easy yet powerful editor
Numerous effects to choose from
Detailed tutorials provided by the official channel
We certainly have a couple of recommendations to offer to you. There’s a surprisingly large amount of both caricature photo maker apps and online caricature maker tools.
Today, we’ll be focusing on the apps, to keep things easily accessible. And, in the end, we’ve even included a quick step-by-step guide on how to make a caricature of a photo.
In this article
01 [The 10 Best Makers to Turn Photos to Caricature Effects](#Part 1)
02 [How to Draw a Caricature — Step by Step Guide](#Part 2)
Part 1 The 10 Best Makers to Turn Photos to Caricature Effects
As promised, part one of this article is devoted to a list of the 10 best caricature maker apps that we can find. We’ll be focusing on the Apple App Store, in this case, but it’s important to note that most of these are available on the Google play store as well. (A link to the app has been provided for your convenience as well.)
011. MomentCam Cartoons & Stickers
The first of the caricature maker apps on our list is ‘MomentCam Cartoon & Stickers’ — this app is part of another tool called ‘Avatar Maker Bundle’, but it can be used on its own to create caricature versions of yourself that you can use to express emotions (an avatar, if you will).
This app was made primarily to help the user to create an avatar that matches their look (with accessorization features to complete the set). However, you can interact with other members of the community to create multiple avatars if you wish. Or, you can share your caricature pictures on social media.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/momentcam-cartoons-stickers/id687624831
02Color Cartoon Caricature Maker
This next caricature maker app uses a more realistic style akin to what is usually used for a political caricature of famous individuals and politicians. It’s called ‘Color Cartoon Caricature Maker’ and, while not as extensive in its features as the previous app, it can be used to turn an image completely into a caricature (which means that it can be used for photographs with more than one person or focus.)
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/color-cartoon-caricature-maker/id1448093448
03PicMagic- Cartoon Photo Editor
Up next, we have ‘Pic Magic’ which is better described as a ‘cartoon photo editor’ but still works as a serviceable caricature maker if all you’re looking for is a subtle enhancement of features (unlike what was shown in the political caricature maker we showed previously.)
Much like the second app, while it’s more suitable for enhancing the features of one person, it does work for group pictures as well.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/picmagic-cartoon-photo-editor/id1491645007
04Photic - Cartoon Yourself AI
This next app, called ‘Photic’ is much like our previously listed app, PicMagic. As you can see from the image provided, it can make a caricature of a photo but in a subtle way that is undeniably more of a ‘cartoony’ style than what you might be looking for. Keep that in mind.
The best part of it is that you can use it along with iMessage — making it very easy to share your finished caricature pictures with friends and family. The downside? It is best used for solo picture caricature-like only.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/photic-cartoon-yourself-ai/id1484108330
05ToonApp Cartoon Photo Editor
‘ToonApp’ is the next caricature maker on our list. As you can see from the image provided, the style of caricature is a lot more realistic here. Very similar to what you normally see of western comics (which only subtly changes the features of a person to look more rendered.) The best part of this app? Well, unlike some of the other options on this list, it works great for group pictures.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/toonapp-cartoon-photo-editor/id1540719743
06Voilà AI Artist Cartoon Photo
This next app is very similar to the previous one we introduced. It’s called ‘Voilà AI Artist Cartoon Photo’ and the main difference between it and the ToonApp app that we introduced earlier is that it uses a different caricature style. Not unlike what you see from 3D animations — which is a mix of realism and cartoony.
This tool, much like a lot of other alternatives, is best used for selfies.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voil%C3%A0-ai-artist-cartoon-photo/id1558421405
07Caricature Hyper Face Morph
Now we go back to what most people usually consider ‘caricature’ with the ‘Caricature Hyper Face Morph’ app. This app, as you can see from the image below, allows you to morph a photograph into something more exaggerated (turning it into a true-to-form caricature; like what you would see in political caricature segments in newspapers or old animated short films.)
It works for group photographs surprisingly well as well. With the AI recognizing and applying the ‘morph’ effect to everyone.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/caricature-hyper-face-morph-from-photos-camera-shots/id587429629
08Face Caricature
The next caricature maker on our list is the app called ‘Face Caricature.’ The best part of this app, undoubtedly, is the fact that it offers several ‘caricature’ styles that you can choose from. So, you aren’t stuck with just one cartoon style. It’s better for selfies, however — it doesn’t work as well as a group picture caricature maker.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/face-caricature-cartoon-photo/id1007143753
09Cartoon Caricature Face Camera
This is a camera tool that you can use in order to take photographs and turn them into caricatures. There are several caricature art styles for you to choose from, which are always fun. Plus, it offers easy save-and-share features. As a final note, this app works best as a selfie app.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/cartoon-caricature-face-camera/id1424277519
10Face Distortion - Screw Up Your Face
Though this app isn’t exactly a ‘caricature maker‘ it does work like one. It’s just a matter of finding the right distortive effect to mimic the look of an actual caricature sketch. The best part about it is that it’s basically a custom caricature maker — one that allows you to control exactly what features are exaggerated.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/face-distortion-screw-up-your-face/id1188623179
Part 2 How to Draw a Caricature — Step by Step Guide
Now for our promised tutorial. Here, we introduce a quick and easy way to draw caricatures. Take it more as an overview of what exactly caricatures are and how you can create them by following a specific set of steps. Ah, but of course, just to make sure that you are getting something out of it, we’ve also included a recommendation for a tool that you can use in order to step up your caricature creation.
Step 1: Get a Reference Photo.
Any good caricature starts with a good reference photo. If you’re not familiar with the term, a reference photo is basically any photograph that you use in order to draw inspiration from.
When making a caricature, that usually means finding a portrait (like the one below) that you can directly refer to when making your caricature sketch.
Step 2: Exaggerate Features.
What is the point of caricatures? Well, it all comes down to the exaggeration of features. Whether that’s enlarging the person’s head to be half the size of a person or distorting the features of their face to make one more prominent than another. There’s an endless number of ways you can go about doing it.
Just remember, when making a caricature sketch, there are no such things as rules. While you do have a reference photo in front of you, you don’t have to draw it exactly as you see it. Make the eyes farther apart, exaggerate the lift of the eyebrows, give them a teeny tiny nose, etc., etc..
Just let your imagination run wild.
Step 3: Find a Reliable Tool.
And, finally, if you really want to take your caricatures to the next level, consider animating them. That is the main point of caricatures, after all.
And, if you’re going to go about doing such a thing, make sure that you have a reliable tool on your side. For example, having something like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor , a video editor that has an endless amount of presets and effects that you can choose from, may prove to be exactly what you need to get to the next stage of your caricature creation.

For macOS 10.12 or later
● Key Takeaways from This Episode →
● Photo to Caricature is now possible in an instant with the use of a caricature maker app. These tools render an existing photograph with the use of filters and effects to create a caricature sketch worthy of any artist’s skill.
● There’s a lot of these caricature makers for you to choose from as well. Proven by the fact that we were able to easily find at least ten — all of which you can use (some in different ways) to transform your photographs into caricature works.
● Of course, if you want to take the traditional route and draw caricatures yourself, that’s possible too. Just remember the three tips that we outlined above: get a reference, exaggerate, and use good tools.
We certainly have a couple of recommendations to offer to you. There’s a surprisingly large amount of both caricature photo maker apps and online caricature maker tools.
Today, we’ll be focusing on the apps, to keep things easily accessible. And, in the end, we’ve even included a quick step-by-step guide on how to make a caricature of a photo.

07Caricature Hyper Face Morph
Now we go back to what most people usually consider ‘caricature’ with the ‘Caricature Hyper Face Morph’ app. This app, as you can see from the image below, allows you to morph a photograph into something more exaggerated (turning it into a true-to-form caricature; like what you would see in political caricature segments in newspapers or old animated short films.)
It works for group photographs surprisingly well as well. With the AI recognizing and applying the ‘morph’ effect to everyone.

08Face Caricature
The next caricature maker on our list is the app called ‘Face Caricature.’ The best part of this app, undoubtedly, is the fact that it offers several ‘caricature’ styles that you can choose from. So, you aren’t stuck with just one cartoon style. It’s better for selfies, however — it doesn’t work as well as a group picture caricature maker.

10Face Distortion - Screw Up Your Face
Though this app isn’t exactly a ‘caricature maker‘ it does work like one. It’s just a matter of finding the right distortive effect to mimic the look of an actual caricature sketch. The best part about it is that it’s basically a custom caricature maker — one that allows you to control exactly what features are exaggerated.

Part 2 How to Draw a Caricature — Step by Step Guide
Now for our promised tutorial. Here, we introduce a quick and easy way to draw caricatures. Take it more as an overview of what exactly caricatures are and how you can create them by following a specific set of steps. Ah, but of course, just to make sure that you are getting something out of it, we’ve also included a recommendation for a tool that you can use in order to step up your caricature creation.
Step 1: Get a Reference Photo.
Any good caricature starts with a good reference photo. If you’re not familiar with the term, a reference photo is basically any photograph that you use in order to draw inspiration from.
When making a caricature, that usually means finding a portrait (like the one below) that you can directly refer to when making your caricature sketch.
Step 2: Exaggerate Features.
What is the point of caricatures? Well, it all comes down to the exaggeration of features. Whether that’s enlarging the person’s head to be half the size of a person or distorting the features of their face to make one more prominent than another. There’s an endless number of ways you can go about doing it.
Just remember, when making a caricature sketch, there are no such things as rules. While you do have a reference photo in front of you, you don’t have to draw it exactly as you see it. Make the eyes farther apart, exaggerate the lift of the eyebrows, give them a teeny tiny nose, etc., etc..
Just let your imagination run wild.
Step 3: Find a Reliable Tool.
And, finally, if you really want to take your caricatures to the next level, consider animating them. That is the main point of caricatures, after all.
And, if you’re going to go about doing such a thing, make sure that you have a reliable tool on your side. For example, having something like Wondershare Filmora Video Editor , a video editor that has an endless amount of presets and effects that you can choose from, may prove to be exactly what you need to get to the next stage of your caricature creation.

As promised, part one of this article is devoted to a list of the 10 best caricature maker apps that we can find. We’ll be focusing on the Apple App Store, in this case, but it’s important to note that most of these are available on the Google play store as well. (A link to the app has been provided for your convenience as well.)
011. MomentCam Cartoons & Stickers
The first of the caricature maker apps on our list is ‘MomentCam Cartoon & Stickers’ — this app is part of another tool called ‘Avatar Maker Bundle’, but it can be used on its own to create caricature versions of yourself that you can use to express emotions (an avatar, if you will).
This app was made primarily to help the user to create an avatar that matches their look (with accessorization features to complete the set). However, you can interact with other members of the community to create multiple avatars if you wish. Or, you can share your caricature pictures on social media.

02Color Cartoon Caricature Maker
This next caricature maker app uses a more realistic style akin to what is usually used for a political caricature of famous individuals and politicians. It’s called ‘Color Cartoon Caricature Maker’ and, while not as extensive in its features as the previous app, it can be used to turn an image completely into a caricature (which means that it can be used for photographs with more than one person or focus.)
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/color-cartoon-caricature-maker/id1448093448
03PicMagic- Cartoon Photo Editor
Up next, we have ‘Pic Magic’ which is better described as a ‘cartoon photo editor’ but still works as a serviceable caricature maker if all you’re looking for is a subtle enhancement of features (unlike what was shown in the political caricature maker we showed previously.)
Much like the second app, while it’s more suitable for enhancing the features of one person, it does work for group pictures as well.

This next app, called ‘Photic’ is much like our previously listed app, PicMagic. As you can see from the image provided, it can make a caricature of a photo but in a subtle way that is undeniably more of a ‘cartoony’ style than what you might be looking for. Keep that in mind.
The best part of it is that you can use it along with iMessage — making it very easy to share your finished caricature pictures with friends and family. The downside? It is best used for solo picture caricature-like only.
URL: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/photic-cartoon-yourself-ai/id1484108330
05ToonApp Cartoon Photo Editor
‘ToonApp’ is the next caricature maker on our list. As you can see from the image provided, the style of caricature is a lot more realistic here.

Expect ineffectively drawn pictures and composed words that are unreadable.
Whiteboard activity program can be fetched as small as $50plus saves a couple of weeks of your time. These cheap programs utilize an inactive picture of a hand and clip craftsmanship. But the ultimate item isn’t unique, and its esteem is an excellent Control Point introduction.

Here are a few steps to follow for making whiteboard animation videos in Filmora and Camtasia:
01Write a Script
Much like a standard video or a brief skit, there must be a script if a whiteboard animation video succeeds. It is excellent to have compelling images and information, but without a logical story, they’re nothing.
It is not a blog, storyboard, or a collection of bullet points. You hope for a proper script, which says everything about the video. Why? Because then you’ll know precisely what images should be added further in specific segments, what the narrator must show, and what transitions are necessary.
02Start with the Storyboard
Now you have got a script, and you’ve got a clear idea of how you want your video to return across. It’s time to start out building the storyboard. With a storyboard, you may be able to sort out your thoughts far better. You’ll see how each frame comes onto the screen, and a unit of ammunition ties into the opposite.
When you create your storyboard, you may have a simple idea about how your final product will look. If there is some alteration you’re not proud of, this can be the instant where you’ll make changes.
03Create Images
You may find this part very easy if you’re a precise person. It’s all about crafting fun and unique images that will help deliver the data you want to bring across. Attempt to create striking photos which will excite your audience. The simpler, more distinctive, and attractive you’ll be able to make those images, the higher your end product.
04Animate Those Images
With your images drawn and in situ on the storyboard, it’s time to animate them. When animating your whiteboard animation video, confine in mind that every frame will likely show for no. quite seconds. This forces you to form every single movement count – with only some seconds per frame available, and quick movements are often preferable to extended scenes of stillness.
05Record and Sync the Audio
The audio is arguably one of the main essential parts of a whiteboard animation video.
