[sweebread]

i spent maybe 2 hours animating this, and then 2 hours trying to export it... before downloading an entirely new animation program that lets me do it with one click

NEVER download a program called opentoonz, download tahoma2d instead and save yourself the headaches

"Oh yeah I'm just gonna see what animating walk cycles is all about, just gonna do a quick practice"

9 hours later

This silly rabbit fella guy has given me the gift of animation motivation but the curse of ignoring every other obligation in my life until it's done

@rorydrawsandwrites and he moves! On his own!! Probably won't risk it with a grocery cart anytime soon

I won't specify whats in the cup

you are my favorite artist!! i really admire your coloring style, and how soft the lighting makes it feel despite being on-model. you have any tips? on the topic of lighting, i also ADORE your shading!! :3

You have no idea how happy this made me (ﾉω･､)

You are such a sweet heart

(≧◡≦) ♡

I tried my best explaining and understanding the question!

(My english isn’t the best)

A heads up: i explained more than i needed to!

First i wanted to show how i color

There are 4 simple steps

Base

Shadows

Light

Details

Before i color i decide where the light is coming from, so I’d know what im doing with light and shadows

-

Now with the actual shading and lighting

It’s actually just 2 easy steps, for me atleast

I’d say my shading&lighting is kinda lazy..

I know it hard to see it, so how about we actually use it on a model or two

Examples:

I used blue and yellow as an example to show what it looks like with warm and cool colors :p

You can see how it changes when you add shading and lighting (tho you cant see the light that much…)

For blue i gave him for shading analogues colors that means the colors are neighbors on the color wheel, the same with yellow.

Its good to know a bit of color theory! It can help! (Im also learning)

-

Next lighting&shading refrences

How they look when the light source moves

(Ignore the laziness…)

Its good to have a real reference to help you

You can see how it can changes green depending where the light source is coming from, it can change a mood.

And thats it!

This is how i shade and do lighting! (Plus color)

Thank you for reading me ramble about colors ( ˙▿˙ )

Can someone teach me how to animate?

I'm quite still learning how to animate to get my lazy but working

[electronicgalah]

Yo check out this object show intro-ass animation I made to practice my uh, animation. Featuring A Guy I made literally today, his name for the time being is Rubber and I know nothing about him because I created him less than 12 hours ago.

[noxlotl]

Hello! So sorry to bother you if this was asked before, but I really enjoy looking at your animations and progress throughout 2023-2024 and it inspires me so much!! So could you please tell how do you learn animation? Where did you begin? Did you just watch some pro animators and learn from them all by yourself or did you attend any courses?

Your artworks are really fascinating and fantastic and I just can't stop looking at them, you are a great artist! I wish to learn more from you :]

Thank you for your time and have a nice day!!

(apologies for the late response i rarely open tumblr on PC;;o;;)

I learned animation basically by just watching tutorials online^^ Alan Becker's animation principle video is a great introduction. I also learned a lot by scrubbing animation clips, I use the video player Keyframe MP to go through a video frame by frame. It helped me learn about timing and spacing, as well as how pros push dynamic poses. Sakugabooru is a good site to find amazing animation clips (shame the UI is shit haha) Settei dreams has some great anime artbooks. It also helps having someone critic your work?idk how to find that tho, a discord server might help but of course youd have to make sure thats someone who actually knows what theyre talking about lol ((quick storytime: Years ago, I once got invited to this learning animation server and as a newbie they were so helpful and inspiring (they were more advance than me) and now a lot of the people who were there , I now see in credits of really amazing animated series/projects .Really happy for them : D )) In case you wanna go for making YT animatics , I suggest learning a bit about storyboards ( for better compositions) .

Thank you so much^^ I'm still learning and have actually been slacking on that department ( been focusing on illustrations lol). I'm happy you find my silly drawing inspiring ~ <3

[sunlit-mess]

hi! firstly, i love your art so much! you're one of my biggest inspirations right now in my own art journey 🤍. Ok my question is that, while you were improving go where you are right now, are there any tutorial videos or youtubers you watch? if you do, who would you recommend? :3

I shit you not this is what my screen looks like every time I draw

And I hardly watch tutorials ( Unless it's Adobe stuff, certain app settings idk, 3d/Game dev coding or Graphic design) 😭 Digital Art: SamDoesArts / tppo Graphic Design/Editing: Envato Tuts+ / Satori Graphics Animation: Alan Becker / Toniko Pantoja

🪷 anon is dead, long live 🦉🪶 anon. can you even change your anon tag? im unsure

anyway. i think blue follows like, all sorts of cooking and gardening tutorials. they oogle at that guy that cooks stuff in their college dorm and then give their friends slightly burnt but in a way that makes it taste better filet mignon. they grow their own tomatoes for their pizza sauce.

they remind me of doorknob girl.

-🪷 anon / 🦉🪶 anon

BLUEBBELUEVELUEE BLUE BLUE i have been FROTHING at the mouth waiting for a blue-focused ask to answer but yes I AGREE absolutely,,, i definitely think everyone would wake up at the asscrack of dawn to find blue mixing up some concoctions in the hypothetical shared college dorm kitchen in this scenario you know. Doorknob Girl.. imagine blue in like a drugged out haze ranting to their friends about fresh homemade natural products for baby attached to this message

I should also make it beknownst that i was sobbing laughing over this fuckass elephant crayon in quinn and ivys tiktok dms for like a consecutive hour

Also me and the other mods have theories about the identities of our anons. Are you secretly alan becker and is owlfeather your warrior cats name thanks bye
