13:10 It's definitely done in Photoshop or a similar program, you can see he erased some of the natural-looking brush with a standard hard brush(eraser) to create harsh white space for the shiny effect.
This is my favorite of your videos so far. Ive seen a little work from this artist but im so glad to finally know the name. Im excited to hear about how he got started. keep it coming! Love your channel.
Thank you so much for doing this! Bahi JD and Yutaka Nakamura inspire me more than anything else, and I’m glad you were able to talk about and deconstruct one of them.
This is so informative and fun to watch I would now yet to recognise which animator made a particular scene And line you said, it is possible to suspect these are rotoscoped..while they are not!
H.C.Brown Ohh I found you. I absolutely love your work H.C! You are very inspirational. I really liked the vid about overcoming mental health problems as an artist.
it wasn't until 2 minutes in when i saw a specific animation that i know from an artist i follow, then i looked closer at the name BAHIJD and their icon popped into my head and i remembered who this was, and that they are the artist im following.
I started animating not even a year ago with a pivot animator because i cant draw yet i didnt take any classes because i feel its better to learn on your own and i have become pretty good for a slightly new animator
learning on your own is good. Much of what I learned has been self-taught. Although it is useful to look at other animators and see how they do it. Sometimes it can open up new ways of working or help you get past major inefficiencies
Nicely done. Bahi JD is an inspiring story and its great to see him branching out like with his storyboarding and direction for the Atom the Beginning OP.
I wanna learn how to animate like that but I don't know where to start. My anatomy and proportions are very off along with gesture. Do you have anything you'd recommend to help me improve my skills?
I would agree but don't wait to perfect your drawings because your drawings will never be perfect. Also just really connect with and explore what you enjoy - what kind of themes you find attractive - it will give you a clearer direction and then it is a much simpler task
Best Animator? He's definitely up there with the greats, but calling him the decade's best Animator is a stretch. Look up Yukata Nakamura. See if that would change your mind.
Jonathan Joestar the thing is japanese can be very protective with the important scenes. They only allow japanese people to do most animations, so having a western animator prominent in the japanese animation industry is a big deal.
silvester staloney this guy is just a kid compared to the legends of Disney. Look at Glen Keane work. Look at his fucking 60 draws per second animation "Duet"
Surprised? Europeans are the most creative and innovative people in history, however the hollywood lead ethos of how Europeans must be presented, is always deliberately either negative or incompetent. Anime is just a relatively new market because Japan doesn't export much and remains for the most part to itself; only courtesy of the internet is there more access than in the past.
... I mean, that's kind of a terrible comparison, Crow. Not only are they two completely separate styles, he's gotten no chance to prove that he could animate at 60 FPS. Keane had the benefit of a budget. And, frankly, I'm not seeing anything in Keane's work that I don't believe BahiJD couldn't do. It should be noted that I love Keane, and Williams, and all the western animators. But that's such an elitist statement.
Thank you for your motivation, I love this channel. As a freelance studying animator I would like to know, is there a difference between working with references & rotoscoping?
Thanks✨ Yes there is. Referencing something could mean making observational drawings of paused frames in a movement. Reference could also mean having a mirror and acting out the motion in front of a mirror. Referencing could mean running 3d simulations and diagraming them... Rotoscoping is tracing over footage frame by frame Rotoscoping is distinctly different from referencing.
Thanks you so much for highlighting those differences, I didn’t think you yourself would reply😅much love from Zimbabwe, Africa. I’m an aspiring animator hoping to become as great as you are
still, i haven't gotten the opportunity to try a screen tablet, i use a one by wacom and i love it, but a screen tablet and an updated software would at least speed up the proccess if not maybe make the experience more ejoyable i guess....
I like how you have to charge money just for what someone else can tell you for free, not helping the community by charging someone a breakdown on animations when they can learn it online for free by themselves.
if you don't need my help then what's the problem? Go away and do it. I'm not forcing anyone to buy my products or services. You have no idea how the world works do you? Why don't you walk into a department store and complain at them for not giving their product away for free? Why don't you go into a classroom and ask the teacher why they aren't teaching for free? Because like me they are adults who have rent to pay. You're just a little kid who's stumbled into the big boys world. You're not ready for this. Oh and while we're at it, lets take a peep at your channel and see what you're doing to help the community... Ah as i expected. Nothing of value here. Well thanks for your non-existent contribution I guess. All you're good for is complaining. I'm gonna stop wasting my breath on you. Don't come back to my channel again :D
i would agree, and add that it is a futile pursuit to try to take someone's style completely. But when we study animators we can take pieces that we like and add them to our own style to improve and strengthen it.
Maria Yumasheva I am not sure, but I think he meant that some artists animate a few (or even all) layers traditionally (on paper) before digitally. So my guess that he animated a few frames traditionally before scanning it into digital
@@zionjefferson490 I don't know much about him, but it seems like it from this video (I didn't rewatch the whole thing tho and it's been 3 years) Howard was saying how it might've been another artist who animated the explosion because it looked like it was scanned and the rest of bahi jd's animation in the video is digital, but then again it could be that bahi jd just animated it traditionally, we can never know ig
@@CaravenesArt I see, the reason I thought he always it digitally is because his story with the cheap drawing pad. But you're right, we don't know much about him. Thanks for the reply btw
You can do it two ways jazza talks about this first draw/animate something mundane like a calender moving due to wind or a moving tree second one is put up a twitch vote or use a picking order take two dices for random selection have fun

Thank you for introducing me to bahi jd
you're welcome!
Same here
Your analysis is on point & the appreciation you have for animation is making my viewpoints improve (I hope that makes sense)😅
Thank you so much for doing this! Bahi JD and Yutaka Nakamura inspire me more than anything else, and I’m glad you were able to talk about and deconstruct one of them.
The way you notice things,learn and let your subscribers learn the same is fantastic always!
This is so informative and fun to watch

thank you very much!
i agree, they1 have that certain something...
Seems he is gonna work in One Piece he posted a draw of a strawhat in his twitter
For some reason he deleted that tweet

i always recognized this guys style, but i never knew who it was. thanks howard.
same!
this has given me a new perspective on quality over quantity (quantity being skill)
I've been waiting for this, i love bahi's work
I wanna learn how to animate like that but I don't know where to start. My anatomy and proportions are very off along with gesture. Do you have anything you'd recommend to help me improve my skills?
Blaster JD, draw/animate a lot, search for lesson (irl, book, web, whatever), don't rush the basics, keep it fun.
stop asking for help and just do IT!
start with your weakness, DO EM BOTH or MULTI TASK
JUST DO IT!!
learn how to draw, thats even the first step on richard williams book, you have to perfect your drawing the other stuff is secondary... sorta
I would agree but don't wait to perfect your drawings because your drawings will never be perfect.
Also just really connect with and explore what you enjoy - what kind of themes you find attractive - it will give you a clearer direction and then it is a much simpler task
You need to look at real life a lot. Also, this may or may not help but sketch by forming blobs of color into shape instead of just line working.

Can u do one for in Seung-Choi ? The guy's work is really hard to find, but from the rare clips, i just freakin loved it
love the not blaming your tools bit, I'm still using cs4 flash
5:11 i just realized there is his logo drawn
yeah he sneaks it in everywhere!
Oh my god wth this animator is soooooo awesome wow 😳
Dude I really enjoy your videos Keep it up homie
with that explosion he probably researched water droplets in zero-g or watched some vids of astronauts playing with water in space.
What's the name of the animator Howard cites at 12:45? The one he said uses the brushpen, I got curious to check it out.
애니메이터들은 정말 위대한 예술가 들이다 그많은 프레임으로 영상을 만든다는것은 결코 쉽지 않다
Can anyone explain to me how to view all the frames in a scene like Howard is doing at 5:25 ?
He used flipnote studio???
Can anyone tell me what's the name of the show playing at 4:37
I'm surprised you haven't done a study on Thomas Romain yet! Not really sakuga, but he's a phenomenal art designer.

4:20 this is so inspiring...cuz i have flash cs5 and intuos tablet
i want to know more artists like bahi jd
Rapparu is another gooden you could put in the same category
@@HowardWimshurst thank you for introducing us to such wonderful artists
This is truly inspiring.
7:05 - 7:33
have someone listen to this without any context
do you use frame by frame or vector bone rigging thanks "D :D
always frame by frame
@@HowardWimshurst Wow thanks coolest :D "D
@@HowardWimshurst means a 5 to 10mins frame by frame will take quite long to complete is it? i use vector and rigging already taking quite sometime
this is so amazing !!! thanks
great vid. the link to his tumblr isnt in the description btw
Bryio oh thank you for letting me know!
Please can u do a sakuga brake down of jujutsu kaisen 🙏🙏
Wow did he really animate a character from Skullgirls? Who was it?
I think it was mostly effects work on skullgirls
still, i haven't gotten the opportunity to try a screen tablet, i use a one by wacom and i love it, but a screen tablet and an updated software would at least speed up the proccess if not maybe make the experience more ejoyable i guess....

Its amazing software, but users don't know
Fantastic!! thanks Howard ;D
welcome

@2:35 what anime was that?
concrete Revolutio
Any recommendations for forums where you can post animations? I've done a bit of basic animation in the past but I want to improve.
Reddit
great jop,man
but where is yutaka nakamura animation study ? :D
when we make it to 100 on Patreon!
People complaining about drawing tablets while i animate on my phone using a diy pen
Yeah, considering Bahi JD uses a small screenless tablet, his work is even more impressive.
2:34 anime?
The O'Dale some one else said concrete revolutio? Not actually sure myself
How do you get other animators frame by frame animations like this??
Cody Thuringer, well, just get the episode and import it on your program, any video is frame-by-frame.
you can find the genga drawing on google as gifs
بهادر دمت گرم داداشی❤❤
this programs is good for 2D animation?
flash? yep
Coool! so do u know another animation 2D software that has a lots of brushes ( blend brushes)? i don't know how can i find them
Fun Art With David Animator You might want to try TVPaint for brush variety. It’s expensive though.
Arjuna Coles ohh really? wahh thank you mate!!

Wait,he animate on 1's?
Mobi he animates on 1s 2s 3s and 4s - don't let the timeline fool you that is just how i imported it

It's not about talent, it's about genes. JD is just lucky.
