I was really surprised and pleased to see some perspective drawings artists are really amazing

Thank you, always good to see the process from a professional. But this is deceptively simple. There is so much experience and decisions going on between the construction lines and the rough lines. I saw so many vids, know a lot of theory, but still struggle with consistency after 2 years of drawing. I should do more focused studies to finally get the hang of drawing character faces!

Search up "TenTen 28 days of painting" (free art exercises with instruction on artstation) I think you'll find it extremely useful as TenTen leads you through a 28 day regimen of art exercises building up from the foundation of deconstructing complex into simple shapes to building multiple 3D characters. TenTen explains his process and instruction in a logical manner thats simple and easy to digest with guaranteed results as long as you're consistent and practice a lot. Go try it out you might like what you see. (Again...I know i sound sales-sy but It's totally free 😅)

8 years and still going, I suggest getting comfortable with that feeling because it's going to stick around for a while haha

one of the major things the seperate professional artists and hobbyists or people who just don't draw is the phrase "in a way that makes sense". drawing is pretty odd because it has a lot of details and things to pay attention to, and it's often quite hard to learn from watching artists draw because they do a lot of stuff purely by intuition or reflex. what makes sense to someone familiar with it is completely different from what makes sense for someone starting out.

Please do one for the torso and other parts of the figure, this is super helpful both for drawing and animation. Its great to learn the process professionals use.

Really struggling with head construction right now, so I appreciate you breaking everything down. Foreshortening is definitely the hardest part I think. Gonna try the box-in-perspective trick and hope that helps.

Holy Crap. I mainly just draw for fun, and never really had the resources for actually learning this kind of stuff. Needless to say, my mind was blown to smithereens when I saw the box construction method for the pose at around 5:30. Thanks!

This is why its absolutely infuriating to watch live drawings from Murata Yusuke; he doesn't construct much or show his thinking process, he just _does_ it and it turns out well.

This was immensely helpful, thank you! I've been struggling with transitioning from the box construction method to a more defined sketch, and seeing an example of how one might do so was a treat.

Gracias dong por compartir sus conocimientos en la animacion ❤

This is great advice! Although I know this and draw often it helps to review and relearn especially during artist block. Thank you for sharing!

Could you do a video on how timing dos and donts in animation? For the longest time I thought every keyframe had to be put on every other frame lol or knowing what halves and third’s actually look like on a timing chart and knowing how to make one accurately?

omg thank you so much ilu!! i've learned a lot just from this!!

Yo Dong can you make a video on environmental animations like rain and backgrounds

thank you. This is just the video I needed

The extreme low angle is something I struggle with because I constantly doubt the shape of the underside of the chin and curve of the jaw, especially if the character doesn't have a cute moe shape. I'll definitely keep practicing and studying anatomy, but I also need to be more willing to make mistakes in order to grow and improve. And if I haven't asked already (sorry if I have), could you please consider doing a video about what you think should be included in an artstyle bible? A guide that demonstrates the artstyle of a project, what is considered going off model, how to handle simplification due to perspective, etc.

Wow this video has helped since i watched it... Thank you very much Mr dong 😊

youre back! lets goooooo!

I have to do some close up shots for a stand-off storyboard in class so this will help me get my project done even quicker, I hope

TYSM!

Amazing

Is that Blue Giant?? Wow... What a coincidence that I happen to be taking animation as one of my general education courses, currently reading blue giant, and this video pops up

Hey you should try the shortcut ctrl-b it adds the blue slightly transparent override on your draft layer. Give it a try see if you like it.

I think it's great that you made this video, but instead of jumping straight into a cleaned-up version of the shorthand rough drawing, I wish you had shown how a new/learning animator would use the shorthand when drawing rough animated sequences.

Me gustan tus videos son muy informativos e aprendido mucho de ellos

This is an amazing video! Tough, I'm slightly struggling on the box method for the low perspective head. I'm not sure if anyone else has had similar issues, but during the process before adding detail, the head seems to get deformed like it still want's to be a very bad 3/4 or side profile view with weirdly placed jawline. Maybe it's just skill issue on my part, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you Ichi-chan for helping us out today!

hi, love the video, i have a question, what kind of brush do you use?

6:52 The shoulders have a lot of movement freedom, up, down, front and to the back, this should be taken note of.

Hey Dong how long should one work on a frame of animation and how many frames a day should we aim for

I recently watched a Loomis method video, I'm tired of the construction lines but i don't feel ready to 'break the rules' yet. What's weird is that I used to draw the eyes above the cross intersection on the face now it's below but tis still hard...

​@@azamakhtar7556 I agree with you. Depending on the quality of these drawings, they may get corrected by an animation director or a chief animation director. The time it takes to draw one frame of genga varies a lot, depending on the skill level of the animator, the complexity of the shot, the style of the animation, and the deadline of the project. Some animators may draw one frame in a few minutes, while others may take hours or even days. Im pretty sure the average time for a professional animator is about 30 minutes per frame. some animators may work faster or slower than others.

Not gorilla jaw 🤕

Hey Dong, big fan of your videos. I want to warn you about the language "gorilla jaw" - that can come off really offensive towards black people given how it was used for racist insults. I have a face shaped with a much large mouth/lower jaw, but I do recognize that most Asian faces (and thus anime designed faces) have a jaw that is further back.

I knew the box method would find its use here, w marvel way guide book

4:08 Portruding jaw... callling some peoples ethnic features "Gorilla like" feels wrong. Some people naturally have maxillary prognathism like West Africans for an example. I get this is directed to drawing japanese characters (with associated beauty standards in anime), so I'm guessing there might be ignorance involved with that statement with no mallicious intent behind it but still people get implications from that type of wording that a persons jaw being like that makes them akin to a gorilla and less human like. Don't personally mean to be harsh. I like your methods and art though. (I'm waiting to be attacked by the comment section for this take).
