Improve Drawing and Character Design Skills with 2D Animation

Показать описание

Thinking about going into character design? You should try animating characters with 2D animation! I also talk about how animation can actually help improve your drawing skills, instead of having to think you need good drawing skills before you even attempt 2D animation.

Had no idea you worked so closely on the Kipo production. The character design was one of my favourite aspects of the show :P

I'm actually using 2d animation to improve my drawing. I mean repeatedly drawing something to create a fluid motion is naturally going to make you a better artist as you will be forced to understand the body, physics, foreshortening and perspective. it just makes sense!! also unlike normal sketching after you're done, you'll have a fun animation you can show your friends.

p.s I loved kiko!

Something I've noticed through my character design process is that the sooner I can get that character moving, even if it's not a design I think is done or even "good", the easier it is to see what works and what doesn't. Characters were made to move!

Amazing how sometimes we just need someone to tell us that we are allowed to do something to start doing it. I subconsciously always felt like I shouldnt animate someone elses designs, it's a relief to take down that wall. Also, the animations in this video are AMAZING. Looking forward for some in depth video about background design since it's the thing that I love to do the most.

My sketching suck but I am trying animating everyday and that really helps me. I started with Stick Figures and then now I am doing characters.

well i always thought i had to sort of "master" the human figure before animating, but this is the first time i hear otherwise.

Kipo is my second favorite show, closely behind Avatar: The Last Airbender. All of you guys should be very proud of what you've created.

I am an animator but I work mostly by myself or with a really small group. And I am not into work in the industry
but the problem is it takes too much time to finish a project. But also once you get involve with more people you have to consider bigger money and it makes it more considering budget. Its like a big paradox HELP 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

I plan on becoming an animator so this video was very helpful, informative and showing how much 2d animation could actually improve your character designs as well as your art in general. This channel really helps me alot learning about art and animation

I’m really glad that I learned traditional animation before going into character design. It’s made it way easier to figure out form

You're right, I haven't drawn for years and I realized I was rusty, I just went to animation immediately, and I kept seeing my drawings evolve .... 💪

I still remember seeing the first line animation tests for Korra. Man animation is so cool. Great vid

Man you motivate so much to improve and sit down to draw

I think getting drawovers is very rare unless you are a professional working somewhere. I never see anyone getting critiques or draw overs anywhere. I find people just tend to ignore beginner artists and pretend they don't exist until you get to a certain level by yourself. Or sometimes people are actually really bad at giving feedback and just use it a a way to insult and belittle the person asking for help.
