Check out my latest tutorial on running an indie anime studio: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o41mk7hygcfAqLw.html

As someone who is getting into animation, thi was really helpful!!!! I never knew all this about these colour indecation lines, I thought those get removed even before shadow is added!?

I’ve made follow-up videos to this in the past, but the basic process is when digitizing the drawing, the colored lines are separated onto its own layer and then you just paint over it. Check out the channel NICCA Ch., they have a playlist on their channel of how to do this in Clip Studio Paint, so you should be able to translate that to any program.

You can also use diffrent colors to shade in animation aswell! I usually draw the shadow with the shading color and then just fill that color in. It's very convinient for me but i have to plan my pallets XD

My animation instructor claimed these are a waste of time, and he is SOOOO WRONG! These are actually very helpful for coloring animations. Thanks for this awesome, informative video.

*sobs in beginner frame-by-frame animator* THIS WAS SO DAMN HELPFUL HELLO!? This will surely help my animations look more consistent, thanks a lot!

As a old animation student this should be taught no matter what

I don’t animate, nor am I interested in animating. But here I am

Thank you for making this video, you explain this concept so well and understandable for a beginner like me❤❤

I'm learning how to draw right now and its been kinda rocky lol but you def gave me the motivation to keep trying, i really loved this video!!!

thank you so much man. keep up the good work

I've been planning to do some animations, but. This helps me ALOT!!! You have a new sub!

Thank you very much! I always wondered how they make the gradient effect keeping it cohesive.

I just found your channel by accident and i simply love the way you explain things! subbed immediately!

AS one who wants to start an animation channel THANK YOU SM! I've been looking for info like this and you have provided thx!

Very useful video, thank you!!

i finally understand everything. THanks you so much!! i thought most of the colour should be using in every special spot while drawing Anime. now i clear my mind set. ONce again, *Thanks you so much!*

As someone who was confused what the lines were for,thank you for showing up on my yt homepage❤❤

I'm actually looking for this kind of guide. Thank you for the information; it's a big help for me.

As an aspiring animator who is somewhat intimidated by all this symbols for animation, this is really helpful! Could you do another video too about the box for camera panning, like the one at 10:13?

As an amateur casual cartoon animator (I think), I find this strategy of implementing highlights genuinely intriguing

Wow this is so helpful!! Thamk you for making this video!! and if you know about the anime compositing can you make another video about the compositing process?

Not an animator, but after learning this, may try using it in my artworks. After all, it does get messy on high rendered artworks at a certain point.

I less interest in making animation before, after saw this I'm thinking to start learn it again. Thank you for the short guide, means a lot to me :)

Best guide ever like a layer/outline guide

Now I’ll no longer suffer in coloring processes

In my first animation (just finished), I didn't use any shadow or highlight colors, but I believe it would make the process easier. I'll try incorporating them next time.

great video! helped me a lot!

As a person who wants to do more animation projects, this is pretty cool. I sometimes used colored lines for shadows/lighting, but never really knew the specifics about it. I’m experimenting with new animation apps and haven’t really seen the one at 8:41 (that could just be me). What app is it so I can check it out?

Because you don’t need to draw 30+ finished drawings if you’re only drawing rough drafts. At the rough stage you only need to draw the keyframes and not every drawing until the final lineart stage.

I primarily draw on an iPad and I heard you mention that you primarily animate with an iPad. I really want to become an animator, so I was wondering what programs you recommend. I primarily draw with Procreate and I've been dabbling in Procreate dreams, however Procreate Dreams is very new and is missing many features. I'm just hoping that you can give me some recommendations. Thank you!

“As a” person who got logged out of his friends crunchyroll account and had been binge watching all AOT seasons…that’s about it. Keep up the good work🤙

That's very helpful

As someone who has dabbled in animation as a casual hobby in Clip Studio Paint this was fascinating. I don't think I could ever be a full-fledged animator, partly because my brain gives a 404 error whenever I try to figure out After Effects. Lol

What coloured lines do they use in lighting scenes?

I'm going to be an animator and designer (basically anime desinger and animation maker. I hope so.. this is my dream) and I'm wondering one thing, How can I make anime animations? Uhh well, Is there an app you can recommend? Where can I start first for making and designing anime animations? I hope you reply. You would have helped me a lot. ✨️ Edit: (I don't have an iPad, can I make anime from PC? Or is there an animation & design application for the computer that you can recommend?)

Looks so hard but.. i respect for those who make it

How did you turn your iPad into a second display and how did you use after-effect on it?

I am watching this on an iPad. With the exact thing you were advertising lmao!!!

Right when i wondered that, I clicked home. and found this video. TYSMMMM❤

Im still using purple to shade lol

do you know wich program they used to animate invincible?

I have a question that's a bit off-topic from the main focus of this video, but I've been searching for an answer for quite some time without success. At 4:32, there are letters (A, B, C...) accompanied by numbers, and I'm curious about their purpose and how they work. Could you please explain that?

Can you explain what is the letters in the animation?

It’s been the butt of the joke for the artist community for decades as “amateurish”, with people being really vile against beginner artists because they “didn’t know color theory” or “need to learn to shade skin properly” or some other bs like that.

Oh I've seen u on tiktok haha

i already know this but ima watch this anyway

I enjoyed this. I lol at the part where you say purple as a shadow choice is somehow bad. All of the best painters and artists use purple/blue like hues to paint shadows instead of black. Great artsy intuition if you chose it on your own!

How many animes could an animator animate if an anime animation could animate animators? (for those who don't get it, it's like the "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood" tongue twister)

Japan land of Animation, It is not only superior in animation compared to the rest of the world, but also in narrative, direction, soundtrack, characters, VA...everything.

Do you have to use blue and red for highlights and dark?

Why do some of the line art disappear on playback

@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations

Ай бұрын

I’ve answered this in a TikTok, but during the layout/1st key step, you don’t have to draw every single frame, especially for parts that do not move. You’ll see this a lot especially with looping motion, where part of the animation stays still while another part moves. That way, the next animator knows which parts to draw that are or are not moving for those frames.

"One of those people who used purple to shade and set it to multiply" What does that mean? Did you stop? Is this frowned upon?

It’s a long-standing meme in the art community that if you shade *everything* with purple, then you’re an “amateur artist”, same with the idea that “amateurs only shade with black”. In reality, that bit of gatekeeping shows up less and less, so it was more of a meme for the older gen artists that follow me (I’m old, haha)

I am confused about something, as a solo animator why would you need all this colour code? Wouldn't it make the work redundant and waste you your time since only you, are managing all the process? Please it's a genuine question

@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations

6 ай бұрын

I’ll make this as simple as possible for you : 1) If I skip a few steps and go straight to the “final results”, but then realize that I made major mistakes in anatomy or timing, then I would have to go back and redo my work all over again, and sometimes this takes even MORE work, and MORE time to fix. Better to just do a rough pass, fix mistakes ahead of time, and then you will have a better finished animation. This is quite literally how anime studios and even western animation studios ensure quality control. 2) If I am familiar with, and have personally animated my way through the entire animated production pipeline, then in the future, when I am teaching new team members, I am able to oversee every part of the process because I was once in their shoes. Plus, as a Director, you SHOULD be familiar with every part of the process. This is not optional, there have been multiple in the anime projects that have failed simply because the Director did not understand parts of the process. You’re assuming that this is wasting time, but in actuality, I am not only working faster this way, but my animations turn out way better, and I am gaining the necessary skills to run my indie studio.
