    friday night tutorial time

    this post is massive but i tried to cover both the conceptual and technical side, hopefully it’s somewhat coherent

    continued under cut

    Keep reading

    This is an exceptional breakdown on how to approach illustrations depicting a scene. Characters and backgrounds should not be considered seperately when you are painting an image of a character interacting within a setting. They are a single visual entity; a narrative. Likewise, a painting doesn’t need to include a detailed environment to be successful. It depends on your goal for what you wish to communicate.

    I really like this post..! It’s very succinct about something I have tried to explain myself and have not been very good at explaining. What an excellent resource!

  • Finally got my hands on an iPad and procreate so I can post more. Testing it out with some random (and very basic) character concepts. #procreate #characterdesign

    1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

    2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

    Some thoughts on acceleration and force

    I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

    Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

    Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

    The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an argument that is.

    Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact, is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those more.

    Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.

    2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
