Improve Drawing and Character Design Skills with 2D Animation

- 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
Yeah kipo was such a good show
I loved kipo too
Yes i dearly love kipo
wait kipo isn’t over yet what
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!
What program do you use?
Now thats a workflow i can get behind. I keep getting bored repeating my practice when learning Shapes , forms , Construction and perspectice before i can get to the cool stuff so ima do that
@@narutoxzx123 photoshop timeline. check my IG I did a combat animation on there.
@@ssgpizzalover515 definitely man! great practice. I'm doing a run cycle now and learning so much
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.
How’re your sketches looking now, after about 2 years?
well i always thought i had to sort of "master" the human figure before animating, but this is the first time i hear otherwise.
LOL dat ending :D
"Um..., that's all, thanks, bye."

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 🤦🏽♀️😂
Just my 2 cents: maybe try some smaller projects. Something TINY! Then you'll have something to show other people if you want them to help you. Like, "I want to make this bigger project. You can see I already did this smaller project, so it's safe to come work with me. I'm not going to just back out on this"
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 will try it out esp animating someone else's art style :0
I still remember seeing the first line animation tests for Korra. Man animation is so cool. Great vid
thank you for this!
Man you motivate so much to improve and sit down to draw
It's so good having someone who can teach animation from experience, makes averything easyer to understand. Thanks you so much!
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.
Thanks Toniko for sharing the love for animation.
Today I learned that character design and animation ho hand in hand
Kipo is SO underrated in my opinion.
taking notes from all your videos and applying that knowledge to my mind.
Mate, any hopeful news regarding Dream Bandits? If there are none, can we please get a video of you talking about your story ideas?
Thank you good sir!!
Your content is so helpful and unique, thank you for taking the time to create it
Thanks for sharing this! Fantastic quality as always :)
your tips literally helps me a lot thankyou so much
this is really helpful advice, thank you!!
I am an amateur at drawing and I'm just starting animation, but this video sure gave me a lot of great advice.
This is so great thank you
thank you for the Upload.. im really wanting to do 2d animation...
Sounds like a plan. Once I try this out I will try it and tag you on ig. Thank you for this.
Thank you. Great advice. Will implement it.
Really good advise ! I will practise it for my portfolio :) Thanks for all the amazing video and advises you share
Thanks for sharing! Your work is so fun
Thank you so much! This will help me out a lot
One thing is for certain for me
So that character designers will know the pain of animating every detail the design has
I Believe That You Just Need A Basic Understanding Of The Fundamentals And You Also Need To Have Drawn At Least Few Times (like two times) In Your Life And BOOM You Could Start Animating
U switch softwares like crazy. Flash,tvpaint.I have the same habit I switch from blender,to toomboom,then tvpaint.
Thank you so much for this! I've been living this lie for a few years lol
Do you know Ethan Becker? If so, have you ever worked with him?
KIPO my favorite netflix show
the animation from 6:17 to 6:53 is amusing !
Is that Ioz because holy heck that makes me so happy
when I make character designs once I get to the animation the design actually gets worse and the character stars to fall apart. I’m trying to self teach animation. But no matter how solid my character seems I get confused when having to transfer it
Hello! I hope you are having a nice weekend. I have posted a new video in my RUclips channel :) this time Mili The Cat shows you an idea to get your own mask if you dont have one. i hope you like it! please subscribe or leave me a constructive comment. It would help me a lot to improve. Thanks you! 😊
Your voice is so smooth
Okay you got me. +sub
I have a question whilst working on Kipo did you work with Ethan Becker and if so how was it.
I’m doing 2D animation to improve both my drawing and animation, but I want to be a hand drawn animator to embrace the classical tone
Do you do animation fights
Very hard to focus on video because of eco sound in blutooth 😭😭😭😭
You worked on Kipo?! Can you ask them this:
Hurry and make season 3 ;v; I CAN’T WAIT I’VE SEEN THE SERIES OVER LIKE 10 TIMES I’M SO BORED AAA
Thank you
I have really good character design for (most) animals-- but humans? Hair? Clothing? Aw HECK no
Hopefully this helps me lmao
I'm sure really helpful, thanks for your character designs
But, I have my animation drawings ✏️
Hi, Toniko. I subscribed to tour channel because I am learning animation and your videos are awesome. They have helped me a lot. I am wondering if you could help me with an issue on timing. If I use 24 frames in a short animation Why does it take 2,93 seconds from beginning to end? I thought 24 frames were the exact equivalent of one second. Thanks a lot.
I saw kipo in the thumbnail so I click
Are you drawing on computer? HOW?
Please which app did you use I want to make mine
What you work on kipo
THIS.
Make a lip sync video
I don't quite know where to ask this, but I've been binging your videos for a few days, and have noticed you, as well as a few other animators mention accents a few times. I can't really find any information on what this is (The only thing google brings up is like, the speech kind) and it's been driving me a bit nuts, lol
Ah yes 0 dislikes like i should be
2D animation is easier than 3D animation.
