Ooo~ I love brushes <3

Also, will be handy for future projects I have in mind

Every time someone asks me to do a fur tuturial, I point them to this one instead. This is so much better than I could ever do, explaining things I would not have thought to include.

To be a bro I made a real tutorial, fer once, to show Bhan how I do eyes now. I figured some people might like to see something like this, so I’d share! Idk if you guys…are actually interested in tutorials? I feel grossly under-qualified to make them.

The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at.

Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)

My film on DeviantArt | My film on Vimeo

My film gifs on Tumblr

You can see my storyboard animatic here (although the original had music, but like I mentioned, my placeholder music was by Joe Hisaishi, you know, Miyazaki’s composer, so it’s not really legal to upload it).

This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D.

Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:

The Animator’s Survival Kit

here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:

Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation

The Art of Pixar: The Complete Color Scripts and Select Art from 25 Years of Animation

Prepare to Board! Creating Story and Characters for Animated Features and Shorts

I hope these helped

I ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)

Ack, I completely forgot to add that before you guys do backgrounds and animation and after you have a satisfactory storyboard animatic, it’s good to come up with a colour-script for your film so you know how your film feels with which colours, etc.

This was some of the colour script for my film:

sorry, it was late last night and I forgot D;

Not sure if this is interesting for you guys.

Around 6 years ago (gasp) I did a bunch of lectures on animation theory. One subject was how textures of movement have evolved over the years, alongside the more obvious progression of design.

I made these videos to illustrate more clearly how contrast in timing was something that has a clear progression from the 30s to the 90s. The timechart below each clip represents relative change in space between drawings - from the ultra linear early animation - to the soft bouncing of Classic era Disney - to the exaggerated Warner Bros style - brought to it’s peak by John K (in my opinion).

Sorry about the quality on these gifs. I’ll post more stuff like this if theres any interest.

love all these cartoons so much also

Neat neat neat neat.

A couple people asked me how I vary my leaves and trees and honestly, it’s super easy! I’ve never made a tutorial/guide before so I kept this mega simple but I hope someone out there might find it useful at least!

Also, anyone can download the brushes I use for all my art on my tumblr page (: I only use around 5 so go nuts haha

Wow! Reblogging this for reference. I gotta start drawing more backgrounds.

I love gold dragons even more now

I ACTUALLY HAVE the book on my desk and I’ve always wanted to see the flight of the gold dragon, so this is pretty sweet if you ask me. The illustrations in this book are incredible, and this brings back a lot of good memories xD

OH wow.

This is a simple motion-diagram thing I made when talking about animation to non-animators.

This is an awesome visual explanation of the technical principles of timing, ease, and settle in animation! We get asked about this a lot, and this here is an excellent tool to showcase how these apply to making realistic and believable movement. Wonder why flash tweeny animation often looks off and weird? it’s because it’s spaced out like the top one. Vary up your frames, yo!

very helpful seeing like this
