“What’s the best way to learn Rive?”

I get this question a lot, so here’s my go-to answer for learning Rive without getting lost.

1. Start with the Rive 101 tutorials.

They’re perfect for understanding the UI and core concepts. Don’t skip this foundation.

2. Open Rive and start experimenting.

Follow the videos step-by-step, then try small variations. Break things, fix them, repeat. Pushing the boundaries slowly is the fastest way to learn without feeling overwhelmed.

3. Explore the Rive Marketplace, it’s a goldmine.

Open any project and see exactly how it’s built. Don’t just copy, reverse-engineer and rebuild it with your own twist. You’ll learn a ton from studying the best.
