    This week Guro is going to show you guys how we achieved the look of our upcoming short film Beloved! We used Adobe Photoshop to color and After Effects to add light and shadows. The process is super easy!
    Enjoy the video!

    Just like the lighting for animation in general for the industry, this channel is super under appreciated! And ESPECIALLY when you said you have like 4 HOURS to do a scene… like that’s terrifying dude, keep up the good work!!

    @ZsoltHatszegi 2 года назад

    You could do it in half the time if you used either TVPaint or at least nicely set Actions in Photoshop for coloring. Also, having elements/colors rendered separately, you could do most of the general shadows and rimlights with half the effort.

    • @PutineluAlin

      I've been looking for quicker coloring methods for AGES. Best I could find is the lasso fill brush in Krita, but Krita isn't ideal for longer animations. A lasso fill tool is probably the one animation feature that a program could have to instantly win me over. I'm currently looking for an Android animation app that has it, but the developers always seem to assume I make my lineart perfectly closed all the time so I can use the bucket tool.
      Oh also: I just remembered Blender's Grease Pencil has this quicker way of coloring too, which is why it's my current main program for animation when I'm using my laptop.
