>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 10 14:32:59 2017 No.3131550 >>3131542 It depends on the action if it's just talking it might only take 30 minutes but if it's a dance sequence or fight it might take a few hours.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 10 14:47:15 2017 No.3131563 It really depends on what are you want to animate. I once made a 10 seconds animation which took me more than half month. Consider i did the cleanup and the coloring too.

Thanks anon :)

>>3131666
Yes I do make them casually but more often than not it doesn't take me a whole year to finish, this one on the other hand took me way more than I expected, after finishing the fourth one I took a two month break from the series, after that I wasn't sure where to go style-wise and ended up discarding three fully animated scenes before finally deciding to stick with this style... then the style itself gave me difficulties since I've never done it before so there was a lot of stalling and back and forth stuff + all the schoolwork animation and yeah

Also nice trips Satan

Well I can tell you what I did

I downloaded a copy of TVPaint and also a copy of the Animators Survival Kit Animated DVD Collection

The Animators Survival Kit will teach you everything you need to know to be able to animate anything you can imagine - alternatively you can look up free animation tutorials on YouTube

Regarding TVPaint, they have all the tutorials you need on how to use the software on the TVPaint website and there are a lot of tutorials by other people on YouTube

If you can't afford TVPaint or The Animators Survival Kit DVD Collection you can search the high seas ya filthy pirate ;D

Don't concern yourself too much with having the perfect equipment or software, I did the first three episodes in Adobe Flash CS5 with my mouse (I used the drawing tablet for sketching only). I can't really recommend using a mouse but the cheapest tablets will do just fine, I suggest Wacom One M

Other than all of the above I suggest you watch a lot of stuff, here's a playlist I made
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjRMi9vTVKSCMGOM7ID2ce-9onENd9UnO

Also there is this one too

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2r9SdUMUviRFitLc4udCEahbaMEkAd1Y

That's basically the gist of it. When I make an episode or any other animation I make the storyboard first, the animatic second, then I work on roughly animating everything, after that I do the outline cleanup, then I do the backgrounds and lastly I add in the character colors and the shading.

One last thing: If you can see it in your mind's eye you can definitely make it happen, it might be difficult at first so start small and move up :)

This took me about two weeks to make but I was drawing most of it frame per frame. As many people replied already, it mostly depends on what you're animating. A dialogue won't take much to animate; an action scene might take weeks despite being very short

Well, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but the show I worked on over the summer has started to upload episodes. I mostly did Backgrounds and some boarding, and the animation is flash puppet type stuff, but it's still nice to see something I worked on make it to release... Most of the projects I've been hired for exploded on the launchpad.

Really cool effects work. Unfortunately the art in general isn't super impressive but overall I think there's some appeal here. Reminds me of the old Steven Seagal show on Newgrounds before its author "made it" and started working at Nickelodeon.

Holy Cow I had forgotten about those. Yeah it really is reminiscent of those old things.

As for the art design, unfortunately I was not the art director, so I had no say in that. Tried to make the BGs I could as interesting as I could under the time constraints I was given.

Anyway, here's something I was playing around with, just to experiment with shapes in animation.

Does anyone know if there are any animation books that deal with perspective and how to handle it? I feel like the perspective used in animation must be a little loser than with other drawings.

Anonymous Fri Sep 15 16:50:38 2017 No.3138166

>>3138023
I don't know what you mean by the perspective in animation being a little looser, maybe the drawings are looser but the rules of perspective are always the same. If you want to learn perspective study up on a book dedicated to learning it, it doesn't make sense that an animation perspective book would exist as perspective isn't about movement.

>>3138023

Uhhhmmm... specifically? Richard Williams talks about it a bit, but I'm not really a big fan of his book. That's the only one I can think of. But if you apply the fundamentals of perspective to animation, that's all you really have to do. Yeah it's complicated, but what isn't?

You project it onto something, like in your example you would overlay the figure with a rapidly flashing blueish color or whatever. Maybe a rapidly flashing gradient too coming from the tv but not sure how that would work in a vector based program like flash, probably you would have to use a mask for that.

That ain't rotoscoped, Richard Williams is one of the best animators of all time. He's just obsessed with making everything 100% smooth, which actually makes it look worse.

No it sucks for animating. Flash/Animate is the best by far for learning, though it's pretty limited when it comes to drawing and compositing.

Is the explosion supposed to be smoke or water?
If it's smoke, it looks too liquid-y, but it's too solid to be water; it's kind of bulbous and starts falling back to earth too soon. Love the rest of it.

six days late, but it totally depends on the level of stylization you're working with. The rules are exactly the same as in regular illustration and in no way "looser". One could argue that you must be more strict with your perspective because you are literally rotating forms in space in front of the audience. You can't "cheat" with abstraction like you can with illustration.

on second row, the cut that happens between 1st and 2nd panel is awkward. I'd move the introduction of the Dr. to the beginning. Either as the first or second shot.

The staging of the shots at the last sequence around the table could also need work. It's a little disorientating

>>3146264
>Mind posting an example of this?
Paint allows the artist to create a feeling of depth and form through abstracts blocks of color. An animator must always articulate the forms of the subject with a line, which is the most "absolute" way of mark making. an animation line is basically binary in nature.

For example in this painting the knee of the highlighted warrior is coming towards the audience. The "skirt armor" (not sure what its called), creates a foreshortened, wrapping form around the thigh. The artist here only needs to suggest the leg for the piece to work, but if an animator were to do this with line they would have to articulate the perspective and form with precise linework.

Same applies for example to the horse in the background.

In this more abstract painting the artist creates a sense of perspective by simply hinting at the things in background with nondescript out of focus shapes. An animator would have to draw every subject with line and then have the lines blurred in post, assuming this scene was part of a shot where the camera changes focus between the foreground and the background..

This is nice. You could try giving the audience a few frames more time to absorb the key poses by easing in and out of the poses slower. Would help to give some of the moves more floaty feeling, it's just slightly erratic at this moment which I understand is kind of the point, how he's "all over the place" but you still want to give the audience moments of rest.

I tried something but I think it could be pushed even further

Hey, Petar. Had a couple of questions after the most recent episode, and thought I'd ask here, instead of the comment section. I wouldn't mind seeing kind of a behind the scenes video about your work. I'm very new to animation, and finding the entire process very confusing. When you start a new frame, do you copy the old frame, and make limited changes, or do you start completely from scratch? If you start from scratch, how do you keep the unchanged shapes from looking totally different? Also, how did you get Chris Carlone composing for you? How did that arrangement come about?

Original was better. People can understand movement as long as it's cohesive, and the original was. I even watched yours first, and I think the original was better. It's not like it's popping out of nowhere, there's a clear line of movement that helps the eye keep up.

I know /ic/ is blind leading the blind, but >>3146199 is fine the way it is. People give incorrect advice in these threads all the time, it's very strange.

The original is cohesive I agree, I even pointed out that it's good, but the movement doesn't ooze the kind of character and personality that the poses are suggesting, and that's one part due to the timing (and other part due to not pushing the moving holds enough, like the squash in the second pose leading up to the spiraling jump). Neither does my re-timing by the way, but that's because in order to actually improve the scene they would have to redraw the frames to make it smoother (because now it's just "slow", eliminating the threes and fours that I added would deal with that) and more expressive rather than just increase the exposure. I'm not offering my timing as absolute either, but I do think that having slightly longer moving holds (with more pushed poses) in the scene would improve it significantly. I don't think my advice is incorrect at all, if anything I think you're just settling for "just fine" and are not seeing the hidden potential in the original.

Overall the animator simply isn't pushing the poses as much as they could, and the movement of the character throughout the scene is too monotonous which was what I tried to fix with my retiming, whether that was successful or not you can disagree with, but I stand behind the concept.

Hey sorry it took me this long to respond to you dude. Here's what I do: I rarely copy/paste the previous frame when doing a new one, I only do it when it's a solid shape that isn't supposed to fluctuate and even then I re-draw over it every time when cleaning up, otherwise yes I start from scratch on a new frame 99% of the time. But to keep stuff from wildly changing shapes I have the onion skin turned on and just draw it while comparing it to the previous frame, I do this until it looks good to me, I added a gif of how I do it in steps, I hope it helps :) Unfortunately I don't have any behind the scenes videos, I just assume people don't really want to see that so I never record myself animating :S And Chris liked the Nites series so much he offered to do music for it, and I said yes :)

I think you'd be surprised. All of the people I see animating on youtube tend to do streams on twitch or something. It usually helps their audience stay engaged with the content since it takes so long to put out a new animation and they make some money on the side from donations. It might help you out too, since you're putting in so much work for every animation and your uploads are spread out very far. You might be able to maintain more interest and momentum if you did little behind the scenes videos or streams in between the full animations. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work!

Try to get the timing down when you're presenting your work to others, or at least hold the poses long enough for us to have a good look at the poses. Getting your timing down early is quite helpful in general. the timing of the movement and the poses themselves don't match. Everything is also happening at the same time, for example the character bringing their arms up reaches the final pose at the same time as the main action is completed (at an even spacing nonetheless). Also like the other anon said, anticipation.

There aren't that many people that lurk /ic/ though, there are probably lots of stop motion animators, flash animators, sprite animators, casual hobbyists, 3D animators, and people from /a/ or /co/ that just appreciate animation and would like to learn more. Hell, I only learned about these generals like a year ago and I've been waiting for a place to talk about animation on here since I started lurking in '06, I just never really thought to check for a general here and the threads I made always died after a few posts because this board is so slow.

An entire board for animation would allow anyone that wants to talk about any aspect of animation to make a thread that will actually last long enough for them to get a few answers, and since it would be a dedicated board for the topic, there is actually a chance that someone else that is interested in the topic of that thread will stumble on to it. Unlike on /co/ where its immediately bumped to page 10 by people bitching about SJWs in comics or talking about which little girl from some disney cartoon is their waifu, or the 50 generals on /a/ where people just talk about the same shit every day and argue about which little girl from some moe anime is their waifu

For effects that look into the bitey.com effects course by Adam Philips. It's dirt cheap and the best you'll find anywhere, I guarantee it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKmo_ab0kY4

Really impressed so far bud, you really should join the AMB group. The guy's kind of a hard ass and obstinate about certain things-you won't learn anything about how software or effects works from him because he doesn't know that shit at all, himself, but if you tolerate his eccentricities he's got a lot of experience with character animation to share. He's not the best animator in the world or anything but he's putting out the most stuff by far and he's always worth hearing out even if though I'm sure you won't like what he has to say 100% of the time.

Speaking on his behalf I think he'd probably suggest you tone down the squash and stretch on the ball, correct that stutter that occurs on the upward bounce and to play with the spacing of the droplets more because as is they just fall down at a uniform pace. He'd also suggest you take your time and focus on one principal at a time I'm sure, which no one wants to hear because it's boring as hell.

Nonetheless, this animation though simple is mechanically solid and creative. I think you have potential and if you really want to get good joining the bitey.com fx course and the AMB group would be something to strongly consider.

I think Polygon or some other site just did an article on it and the point was to mimic the process so that the results were authentic. If you decide at the outset that you're going to do everything on paper, there's no way to take shortcuts or whatever that could undercut the final version.

this took a while but im mostly happy with how it came out

hiroyuki imaishi and some other animators do this thing where he does a bunch of frames of different poses that don't connect but then eases into certain pose with a lot of frames at the middle and end of strings. i really like the way it looks but i'm having trouble figuring it out.

Not at all. That's actually why I first started learning how to draw and animate. I don't animate much anymore but that's what got me started with art in general.
>Think that sort of thing has any future?
Hard to say desu. Youtube doesn't really pay animators any money and there aren't really many platforms for that type of content atm. However if you can establish an audience then patreon is a viable source of income and you should be able to get commissions since a lot of people (esp. some of the bigger youtubers) want animated stuff. And if you can actually get your name out there you may be able to work with some bigger companies and transition into TV animation or something.

If that's what you wanna do I'd say go for it.

He comes from out of commercial projects with smaller budgets and tighter deadlines (product commercials, made for tv movies etc.) so his drawing emphasizes expediency and utilitarianism (for the record, if you think you're getting Michelangelo-tier draughtsmanship from the otherwise superior artist Blaise you'd be wrong). He largely eschews the kinds of techniques used to embellish the animation itself, using things like squash, stretch, smear etc. very sparingly and discretely and this is GOOD from the perspective of someone trying to learn.

You have to use the information someone teaches you your own way no matter who they are. Do you think everybody that follows Glen Keane or Richard Williams wants to draw or animate EXACTLY the same way they do-or do they want to apply what they know and use it for their own purposes? It's the same thing here. Besides, even a lot of the Calarts character animation faculty straight up suck

(Now these are just a few I picked out at random and I'm sure there are some faculty there that are better than him too, but I don't want to have to spend $50,000 a year to be able to interact with them, either.)

AMB's course is around $2 for each 1-2 hour video at this point which includes critiques, Aaron Blaise on the other hand wouldn't rip ass in your face in between drawing a gorilla's taint at the zoo for that kind of money.

I didn't say it was intentional. I said it was good that they do. A subtle distinction, but an important one.

No matter who's teaching you, whether it's Glen Keane, Richard Williams, Aaron Blaise, James Baxter or Jazza: you're always going to be you and they're always going to be them. If you're trying to learn the mechanics of a subject for your own purposes, it's much more important that the drawings are readable than [buzzword].

>I said it was good that they do

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think it applies. This logic would apply if someone like KJG tried to teach his pupils by always drawing straight ahead and telling them to "just do it like this". But that's not what he does. When KJG teaches, he adds more construction than what he needs to illustrate the point, BUT the drawings still display the same level of skill as his normal drawings do. This applies to teachers like Vilppu as well. If you look at his drawing demos he isn't as thorough with his drawings as he is in his instructional videos, but the instructional videos still retain the same level of appeal and skill.

There is nothing bad about a teacher using masterful craftsmanship to teach pupils. In fact it's probably better that they do as it showcases the potential of their methodology to the students better than words could ever do. I would even argue that a teacher who has good theory but poor craftsmanship can overall be detrimental to the students future because osmosis/imitation will always be present in student-teacher -environment. A student will always look to the teacher for the "right answer", so if the "right answer" is poorly executed nothing valuable can be learned and a wrong direction can easily be taken. A student that studies from a teacher whose drawings lack gesture and appeal will likely end up having the same problems in their drawings.

Not a bad try. Interesting pose and design but I don't think you are getting how the construction would work. Your neck attaches in a weird place in the head and the arms appear to be attached to the head. I tried to correct it but I don't think this pose/design works, it's gonna have to be redone.

Now for the animation, everything is timed the same. You have to offset the timing of things to get secondary and overlapping actions to look more convincing.

This guy's animation approach taught me more about that than any animation book I've ever read. He draws every part on a separate layers which is useful to break out of the habit of making things move at the same time.

thanks for the feedback. i knew the construction didnt make much sense but it was my sort of misguided attempt at a weird illogical 40s design. The drawing on additional layers is a great note though i really need to get better software than photoshop; in theory i could probably add some dust effects to make it more faithful.

Another thing ive noticed in cuphead gameplay is that transitions between poses are pretty stiff, like the inbetweens are just directly placing ever part of the character halfway between the first and second frame. i have a couple of theories as to why it may be but this is my shot at capturing it.

Real question for you guys: why do you learn animation? Is it because of how rewarding it is? Self satisfaction of personal project? Future job? Or does animation itself consists as an art to be proud of?

From what I've heard, the pay is shit compared to the amount of work put into (sweatshop grade---isn't that in betweeners are all about). Jobs are outsourced to the Philippines with no constant quality check (competition). Most newbs all start low and don't even require experience (inbetweeners)! Very few studios to work for. Barely any artistic liberty. It very as well might be a scam.

If it's for a personal project I would understand. But then soloing the workflow of a team work is irrational, and suicidal. Why not just work on storyboards and let 3D takes its place? At least you have more freedom there and won't need to mindlessly trace like a drone.

All the animators that have worked on cartoons like this wanted to kill themselves. I think you make a huge mistake as an animator if you actually want to make stuff like this.

>Harry is nothing like Jazza
He's stylistically very similar to Jazza; Jazza skintones, Jazza mouth, Jazza eyes. He is a much better animator though and his stuff doesn't look nearly as dead as Jazza's but still.

At least in part because he's not constrained by a budget, Partridge's animation far surpasses at least most of those silly old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, wherein they reused like one walk and run cycle throughout entire series, and generally kept the characters in held 3/4 poses while they exchanged dialog. There is nothing wrong with the aesthetic style of those shows themselves, rather the fact that they were created in a very utilitarian fashion with specific commercial purposes in mind.

>He's stylistically very similar to Jazza; Jazza skintones, Jazza mouth, Jazza eyes.

What the hell is "Jazza skintones" lmao.

They're both just western-style animators-with Jazza simply being a particularly poor example of one. If anything Patridge's style is more like a cross between Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane (the bottom eyelid thing, pic unrelated) and John K. Jazza isn't a good or consistent enough draftsman to attribute a style to honestly. Until he really puts in effort to improve he's going to be stuck in 2007.

Jazza by default gives all his characters a very boring khaki skin tone, Harry Partridge does a similar thing.

Well at least I agree with you about the Seth McFarland thing. Jazza also seems influenced by it too, those ugly Family Guy mouths are what I call Jazza mouth.

Yeah, I hate how I keep seeing people doing this retarded shit I like to call Jazza Shirts, where you draw a shirt and it looks like a shirt jazza drew. I also hate it when people keep doing Jazza pants, or Jazza shoes, like jesus christ we get it that's your inspiration now stop fucking doing it already.
Not to mention:

Modern cartoons like Adventure Time give their characters rubbery limbs that are a very consistent width, which looks very mechanical. It's actually an early animation meme though, sometime in the early 30s animators found this out and started drawing their character in more organic ways.

John K sums it up nicely here

fucking hell, thanks mate. I was thinking the same fucking thing.
I love TVPaint, but I have to admit that it's UI design is somewhat confusing and cerebral at times. another example would be the remaping of the keys.

I am currently using TVpaint 10, does anyone have ver 11 and can he tell me if it's any better and worth the 500$?
I am also not sure if I should hold on and wait for TVpaint 12, if it ever should come out.

I have my own ideas I want to create one day, but it seems nigh on impossible to write/direct animation without knowing the nitty gritty of drawing, so I train indefinitely to ensure I'm at a level where more powerful people can understand my ideas.

Even though it's a Herculean quest, if things ever get really bad I can just publish it as a YA novel.
