I keep getting canceled on TikTok because people think I'm lying about what the red and blue lines mean in anime production.

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!?

[digitaldoodlxs]

*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!

[PufftasticJames]

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.

As an anime animator, I spend my time negotiating peace treaties between my over-caffeinated characters and my rebellious pencils, all while secretly planning the next grand plot twist involving sentient sushi rolls and intergalactic dance-offs!

[fluffybbpeachhun]

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

[prettyspectrum]

I've been searching for an explanation of those lines for MONTHS !! To how to use it, the right colors, everything . THANK YOU !!

[mirrorsenpai]

This video is so well made it helped me a lot, Thankyou so much!!

[Peisk]

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

It's crazy how One Piece just speedrunning animation in 1 week to complete an episode and still make it so detailed and perfect

Summary:

BASIC
- Red Lines (Highlights): Shows where light is hitting a subject
- Blue Lines (Shadows): Indicates where the shadow is supposed to be

ADVANCED
- Green Lines (Gradient Markers): Shows the transition of gradients
- Green Lines (Blushes): Indicates different types of blushes
- Red/Magenta Lines (Patterns): Separates patterns to make them easier to see without the line art making things confusing

i actualy use these colors and line not just for animation, but i also use for just doing art in general, and it sort of gives the art a realy interesting look to it

[The_sunshiine.]

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

It feels illegal to learn this for free..

4:20 - The fill (uranuri) is required in every part of the process (LO -> Genga -> Douga), the reason why you typically only see it in Lo and genga is because douga is extremely rare to find, and the most common examples of them are paper douga, where the fill is actually made on the opposite side of the paper. In digital douga exports they simply export a "line" version (no fill) and "uranuri" version (with fill) for every cel. Without uranuri its impossible to keep track of the fill and shiage mistakes would be made.

6:00 - The gradient colours are always to be filled in during shiage as a solid block the same way that shadows or highlights are filled (and if it intersect with another shadow or hi-light color that would get filled with its own unique colours too), blushes are also done like this where the gradient is filled in as a solid block of pink. The plugin interpolate between the gradient color and the normal color dynamically based on their surface area and color keying, creating the gradient effect, this means the gradient is tied to the animation and remains consistent, and the gradient colors are tied to the color model palette used during shiage instead of "in comp", allowing you to define the gradient colors for different palettes (such as a night pallete or high contrast pallete)

6:45 - This is called irotore (color trace)

11:15 - In the context of anime production, it's important to make a distinction between when the "rules" are relaxed due to priorities, and when its highly regimented, what you see online is typically the "front end" of anime production (layout - genga), and not really the "back end" (douga - shiage). Yes, the people who do the front end are for the most part have freedom to shade in whatever ways they want as long as they stick to a broad stroke convention, but the "back end" is HIGHLY regimented to the point where its simpler to think of it in terms of how a computer handle input/output, and even with different companies there are expectations that everyone do things in a certain way (it also depends on how old that company is but thats another can of worms). The reason why western productions have more unique pipelines than anime is due to the fact that the western animation (or at least, the part of it that is exposed to the internet, because we wont talk about the french) industry effectively collapsed a couple of decades ago and was resuscitated from the ground up, so much of it is very much in its infancy and had to basically reinvent the wheel.

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

[ItzMizuna]

As a multimedia arts student this information is so helpful, tysm!!

[partypoison]

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?

[karina]

How I admire 2d animators especially Japanese animators…they’re really something else

[KonoDarknessDa]

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!*
