- Watch as I take you through the process of animating a simple head turn traditionally on paper. There is a lot to think about even in a "simple" shot like this!

This kind of videos are priceless. I'm glad we are in a time were people can share their knowledge and experience with people form all over the world. Thank you!

The moment he started circling the pencil I automatically noticed his artistic ability as how smoothly he rounded it, also was shook when he was left handed because ive never seen a left handed artist at work wow
*waves* left handed artist gang!!!
My brother of 7 years can do it too, you only need to use your arm
I don't know why but 2d is still appealing to me, there is something magical in it that 3d doesn't have...maybe because it's HAND-DRAWN in paper!-it's just me.
Chris Larkin I absolutely agree
both are great in their own way
Emotion :)
Chris Larkin well 2d is digital too most of the time
Ephesians 3:8 KJV think it’s because animation requires that you have the ability to draw. Most 3D artists cannot draw.
your videos really help me to create better animations and drawings. thank you
I tried to animate a whole scene from the secret of NIMH, alone. It took me more than two months to animate just 46 seconds.
@@yoboibeerus1387 oo did you upload it
@@kaitroversy1813 no, not really. It took me a lot of time. I have a bad reputation in RUclips for having some different opinions than most people. And I don't want other people to force their agenda on me, so no.
@@yoboibeerus1387 oh ok
Watching this in 2020. At 26:07 they start talking about whether 2D animation will make a comeback or not. Aaron was right mentioning that if people cared enough that it will re-emerge, as Klaus came out the following year and distributed by the streaming service: Netflix. This man has great foresight. More and more 2D series, perhaps not on the level of Klaus but are now still being released. Not to mention Japan who are doing some amazing things, as usual.
I dunno why it's so satisfying for me to see someone in an (kinda) overhead camera setup drawing with their left hand...it's so nice when you don't have to flip stuff in your head when following instructions.
I like that you said Pete Docter.....he understand story to me and emotion that relates to all ...
Man, I wish this dude was my dad. Fantastic animation tips and wholesome, wholegrain artistry instead of "you a failure, study medicine instead"

I cried so much when I was young 'cause I couldn't go to an animation school, they don't exist in my country, thank you so much for sharing this amazing knowledge, 20 years later, I can get animation lessons from a master!
Anybody can learn this, it may seem impossible for beginners, one advice I would like to give you is get the Animator's survival kit build up your skillset by starting with the basics, also study different animators to know the techniques and not just study you can't achieve this until you put it on paper. Once your done with the basics get them into your bloodstream which will free you from expressing.
@@usefulhuman4874 Thank you so much for your advice!!!
Check out amb animation.
After I study how can I claim it? Just draw okey
Missing the old ways.im a assistant animator or we call it clean up and inbetweener back then.i feel much an artist doing it in paper than in digital drawing.now im a tattoo artist but i miss the traditional animation.
This is amazing! Thank you Aaron! I've always wanted to see how classical animation is done. You're a blessing to the animation community

It’s nice to see him making happy accidents in his life streams. It makes him feel more relatable even to newer animators, and makes his work seem more real. I’m not much of an animator myself but I love Mr. Blaise’s work!
Aaron Blaise you are one of the people I look up to the most in my art journey. I’ve had this story in my head for over 6 years now and I’ve recently been designing the characters. I’m going to an animation camp and I’ve studied fundamentals and I can’t wait to animate it like you
This is so inspiring !! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Whew! I wasn't ready for that new hair cut! I'm gonna miss that ponytail!
Yeah! good to see that old-school animation disk! Have mine now already a display at my table at home. I'm out of animation paper now.- an ex-2D animator from 1993-2015 here in the Philippines. God bless you Aaron!
I LOVE traditional and I respect this
Love when you demonstrate solid construction. And love, love, love paper animation! More please :-)
I WATCHED IT ALLL THANKS!
Love your work - especially traditional pencil drawings like this one!
You made a perfect villain!
I l9ve it when u draw on paper. I'm not to good on computers. And it takes alot of the way it looks of the pic. Thanks so much for sharing I've l9ve each and every one I've seen
He animated the character reacting to the people that disliked this video. This was a great video and I learnt so much! thanks for sharing Aaron!
2D animation and 3D animation should never be in a hostile relationship. Saying one can completely replace the other one is like saying peeing can completely replace pooing. (bad analogy, maybe). They just serve different purposes, in different time. Just like sometimes you need to pee, and sometimes you need to poo.
Animation is a big world and it is definitely a vessel which can contain both doctrines. In the beginning stage of developing a 3D animation, having 2D animation knowledge as for keyshot and character design drafting is a huge plus. That can smooth out the whole animation process as you don't have to go directly into the 3D software to sculpt the whole thing or import a model and stretch the model to attain what you want. Simply take out a paper and use a pencil to 2D draft will save you tons of time and energy. (who else agree with me? I just find the initial drafting stage being very limiting when using 3D software as a drafting and idea development tool. When you are in thinking mode and have tons of ideas, the requirement to press different keys or to switch between tools is just so hindering, even when you are so good at the shortcuts.)
And then, after making some drafting with 2D knowledge, you can scan the drawing and enter the 3D development environment. Import model, rigging, texturing....... etc. During the process, sometimes, your brain can switch back to the 2D animation thinking mind. Say for example, when a model is so stiffed after several attempts, you can take a paper out and use a pencil to try drafting in 2D animation. Inter-reference the 2D drawing with the 3D rigged animation which you have just created. Because sometimes, when you have spent so much time staring at the computer, your brain starts to become stiff. So having another tool which you can switch between can make the creation process "more lively". Our brain is just not a one way street. Sometimes it needs another kind of sensory stimulation to awaken us back.
So basically, having both 2D animation and 3D animation knowledge intertwined creates a great development and creation process.
11:02 omg thank you to whoever asked that question. I love you
i just wanna say your art is so amazingly good which is pretty obvious but still...
I'm a new subscriber and an artist and I find this fascinating. That is a lot of work wow.
Wow... What animation. welldone
This is awesome. Aaron, you probably won't see this post but you animation has helped me so much. Thanks for doing this.
26:20 Yes! Check out Klaus by Netflix!
I really like this film. Here is my opinion about it:
Story 7/10
Animation 10/10
Characters 8/10
8/10
This guy kind of reminds me of Clayton from Tarzan! Very cool Aaron
it is so interesting to see this. He really masters the character he's drawing.
I'm interested in seeing how you do lipsync(or any audio synced animation in general) with paper. I understand how its done in 3D/digital but I don't know how you would effectively time animation to audio on paper.
No one really shows you the process of HOW to do it online; just the final result. :(
Shallotte same, I couldn’t find anything on lip sync for traditional animation.
You just inspired me to create a video on this topic! To put it simply though, you would record the audio first and note the sounds audited ( veeeeery slowly) on what is referred to as an x sheet using the help of a software program that allows you to scrub ( aka listen to manually) the audio frame by frame, like adobe animate of after effects. Then, using the the audio as a guide for your action, you number your drawings to the appropriate sound on each frame. It sounds more intimidating than it is, but I hope that helps a little!
Before computer. In the old Studio I go to that does Hanna-Barbera TV series in the late 80's and early 90's, there's a sound editor who does this along with the shows director doing it. They use an old magnetic tape player and a simple stop-watch. They would play the sound again and again and timed everything with the hand stop-watch and write the mouths (mouth flaps a,b,c,d,e,o,n codes) in the X-sheet (or Dope sheet). I was told they also used a metronome to time all the voices and sound FX by a half second beat. I was told in the old Disney films they would use the dialogue recorded in a movie film strip where a sound graph is burned in the film, then time everything by a foot or a half-foot of film (16 frames and 8 frames).
I was doing this sort of thing(when they had camcorders back in the 90s) I didn't receive any mentorship, just did my own experiments. Figured a lot out on my own.
Used a styrofoam head to create mouth movements..👄👅💋 You can approach animation I'm so many different ways. I did it as a joyful hobbie instead of an occupation.A quote from Einstein: "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
What is it about Einstein's words that surprises us? What gives us pause? It's not that he includes knowledge in his definition of intelligence. What's surprising is that he mentions imagination in the same breath. He did this so often that one wonders if Einstein was trying to tell us something very important.
You realise animation is time consuming when someone uploads a 1 hour and half about animating a head turn
That is precisely why I am experimenting with unconventional drawing techniques, ways to save time in labour. I've been ages creating 2D body manikins of all shapes and sizes so to replace wooden skinny stickman. You can use it to rotoscope live action films.
Now I am doing 2D head manikin and 2D hand manikin.
I’m a beginner animator but yes it is! Lol
concept art is always needed.
Very Cool.
Who is your favorite animator?
Aaron Blaise
Walt Disney
Max Fleischer
Richard williams
Laika Studio
Love the pencil & paper feel.
This man is an animation GOD!
You are my hero, thank you so much!!! Thank you so Much!!!!
Grande trabalho, parabéns!!! Adoro seus trabalhos, e é realmente uma pena eu não entender inglês... fico só na parte visual da aula.
Yet another great insight in how to animate traditional! Thanks so much for sharing Aaron! Don't you miss animating for Disney?
I love u and ur work
i love your job so i could learn with you it will be amazing !!
2D animation is really the best way to learn I guess you better exercise but 3D I think it's a challenge for me too but I still like to work on both of them because it's really the best way to learn animation I always wanted to learn those two techniques to get in the field like you guys
I went to [cartoonsupplies] and found 16f paper but the peg holes are different than the paper you're using. Are the peg holes particular to the field of the paper, and what are the different fields of paper about? ... lastly, what are the fields about?
Sorry for the barrage of technical questions but old school animation techniques are simply fascinating to me.
Great over the shoulder view
Animators are amazing.. damn
It would be cool to see this animation demo scanned in and dropped into premier or after effects to create a little loop of the rough animation.
👏awesome
Was your inspiration for the Beast the Sichuan takin?
I saw one documentary, and it was with paper drawing animation.. I then saw them use a special camera to take the slides of the animation, what is that called? He then uploaded the animation to his computer..
Use good ol scanner to upload to computer in order to make slides? How do you go from paper to animation slides?
Is it just a scanner to upload the drawings?
This is very important lesson for me.. I really-really appreciate this... Thank u... 🙂👍👌
Thanks!
2d animation is obsolete? It is still alive and well in Japan for anime.
I love Brother Bear but my favorite animated movie is by far Tarzan
For me mine is lion king but I love me some brother bear
Hope my animation skills get as good as yours one of these days
Where can i buy that desk and paper? Lol or do u have different recomendations? My dream has always been to be an animator
Me too:D

The specific animation paper that Disney used is Ingram animation Bond, Aaron here is using the 16F size with ACME peg holes punched into it. You can get it at Cartooncolour, cartoonsupplies, or lightfootltd. It's pricey but is very durable and has a wonderful tooth to it and translucency. The Desk is a custom Disney desk, they sometimes go up for auction every couple of years for a couple thousand dollars, they're super heavy and cost a lot to transport.
Is the pencil test uploaded yet??
hello aaron! what is the name of this drawing table with this rotation?? congratulations for the video
1:19:01 Pokémon skull
How many drawings were required to complete sequence?
Hey aaron My favorite movie was the black cauldron this was getting anniversary I be sure agree to be make animation traditional paper 2d guy melting skeleton mist cauldron born sequence just like the theaters make sure deleted scenes part 1 2 3 4 is that all right keep good content👍✅🎃
I wish I had one of those desks with the disk on them
Hello, sir Aaron. I'd like to ask what software do you use in shooting all of your traditional works? And do you set up your own camera as well? I'd love to know about it because I'd really like to set up my own animation work space someday. Thank you!
Amazing ✨👀✨
I wish my light box was as good as this
Amazing.
Is this pose to pose or straight animation?I noticed that you made a change in a section every time. Doesn't this animation need Betweens?i really like to do this kind of animation easily but In Iran, there are not many references for learning animation. I could only buy Richard Williams videos But anyway they are censored here.
What pencil is he using?
Awesome,be blessed all in Jesus shalom CBN.com
The character looks like Mr.Incredible.
At one point he says... i am going to make 10 - 12 drawings and make a 50-60 frames of animation. so is he drawing the extremes now ? and later would do the inbetweens on the computer ?
Amazing
Why is the guy so angry? Haha, had a rough life...that's a good one, this is nice to watch and to learn from
What kind of pencil did you use?
1.20 hours, we're can we SEE they result?
2d never left. Anime is still 2d
really good
This video do you think 2d animation will ever make a comeback COMPLETELY IGNORES NICKELODEONS ENTIRE CATOLOG OF 2D ANIMATED CARTOONS
Could you please do mountain lion character design for me
I want to start making my comic book work into a animation myself
This guy doesn’t interact with the comments
At least he shares his knowledge
He does sometimes
@@littlewitchling535 hes not rude. Hes very nice

You inspire me on so many levels! Your art makes me so happy and its so inspirational, and your such an amazing teacher XD I have learned so much from you!
I do want to ask something..( you might not answer but its worth a shot XD) but do you think Adobe Animate would be a good beginner animation program to work on?
I don't think it would actually. It's not made for traditional hand drawn animation in mind. If you can swing it, I really recommend TVPaint. You can try a trial version and see if you like it.
Thank you so much! I'll try out TVPaint. I heard that its a good program. :)
Pretty upset that I only got to see like 10 minutes of this stream
💗❤️💓
Hey Aaron great video.
Where can I get the right and best equipment for this method?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but was he doing straight ahead animation??
at 22:00 he skips ahead to the final drawing, and then draws the middle ones after. so no, this is considered pose-to-pose animation, not straight-ahead.
that is the Question
How do you keep proportions?
JONAHonTHEhill: I’m only a beginner in animation, but I’d say *practice* and more specifically, practice in anatomy.
And perspective
Will your acting for animators videos be part of your complete animation course? I’m thinking of buying the complete animation course!
When you live on the other side of the world so you miss the livestreams 😭
hi im animator fom iraq you ar great keep going
WoW!!!
Thank you ^.^
hello,
what kind of paper is this? I'm wondering where I could get it.
Thanks!
What app can you get for pencil tests?
