Great vid as always 👍- Suggestion: look down less or pause looking at the camera before you look down again, that way you can cut it in post a lot easier so we don't see you referencing your notes :)
@@MekDi10 I'm still curious as to what the animations school makes you do. Do they really just give you projects and deadlines and nothing else or was my friend just exaggerating?
Same! I need to get onto animation asap. I feel like I'm not going to get where I want at the age I am now. Just starting at 21? That's so not going to be a good start
I’ve always wanted to be an animator but I thought that if I can’t draw well then what’s the point in practicing animation before practicing art and then I realized that if I keep drawing frames then I’ll be practicing anatomy nature and other things anyways so here I am
omggg I just did a transformation practice animation today, wtfff LOL. Love your content dude, i'm gonna be doing animation for my main in the 2nd year for my bachelors degree, gonna be watching a looot of your guides.
I might be getting an art tablet for Christmas, and I'm going to try to do some animations with my character "Sindri Wulver" (the character in my profile icon) from D&D which hopefully I'll be able to include the transformation from a human highlander to a wendigo highlander in one, or two animations.
i have a notebook thats full of advice for animation from you and i was wondering if you could make a video on how to animal like birds and wolfs and stuff. love your animations!
i hope you get past a million subs before 2020 finishes , you honestly deserve it , thank you for the great high quality content and for being a role model
It's the first time I've seen an ad/sponsored message at a lower sound quality than the video. Also, I don't see food sponsored's in computer-related fields, I've only seen Linus media's Beef jerky or something before.
Brooo thank you!! I really needed this on how to transform my character into another character and then to a type of animal, for the somewhat animation I’m working on lmao.
This might be tool specific, but in the animation where you eased the square morphing into the circle, I was wondering how you introduced the easing. Did you reanimate some frames and re arrange them, or did you just do it using TV Paint? Thanks for sharing all these lessons :)
Hey I have a doubt...can u tell me what brush type you use to draw for your ur animations, im'n a great need of that. If possible can u give me that of one link for your brush if it is a custom one made by one. Thanks,
hello, Howard, I'm having a lot and I mean a lot of issue learning to draw people I tried studying anatomy but it so hard that I just can't seem to learn even when I practice it what do you subject me to do?
karla michelle it’s a guy who worked at dreamworks and Disney and such, he criticizes people’s art especially how the body/ hands/head works and simply gives out advices on how to draw the different parts of the body.
Sir can do in flipaclip android app, I wanna learn more from you if i only have financial to study in your animations academy,I'm only using J2 Pro Samsung hehe so hard but still trying to learn a lot from your videos.
These are all useful and all. But I need a transformation “being covered by a liquid”. I’m making a series where there will be a lot of Venom and transformation
What software do you use to do your animations? Are they free or do you know of any to recommend that a new animator can start off with? Your vids are very inspiring too. Keep up the good work.
SOo, howard, i've been wondering if you could talk a little about a subject that is kinda hard to resolve. I'm on my way to become an animator. i like to draw, love animation and I'm trying and making the most effort I can to learn. This is what i really want to do. But I keep feeling huge axieties and feeling that there is a huge gap, something lacking... How do a pro animator deal with the nerves, the axiety, the sometimes overwhelming sense that its all too much to learn? Is there a techinique to get the mental discipline, to calm the mind and have more patience?
I think maybe the best way to answer would be to say listen to my latest podcast episode: ruclips.net/video/vpbUrD_gpK8/видео.html Nerves and anxiety, frustration, impatience aren't anything to do with art really. They are a problem with your character. You need to wrestle with your inner emotions and keep them in check, otherwise they will dominate you and keep you weak. You don't do a good job when you are a nervous nelly. You perform best when you are confident and focused on the task. The trick is to condition yourself to enjoy the process at all times. You don't fight the process. You enjoy the process. You swim in it. Even on the most basic process. You have to draw a circle let's say. ENJOY the circle. It is a delight to draw. It is a delight to create. You are like a demi-god, you have the power of creation at your finger tips. Why would you not relish the experience? Just get lost in it. Ignore the voices, the expectations. It all falls away and becomes quiet when you lose yourself in the drawing. Far from a challenge, drawing is your refuge from the harsh reality of life. When you are enjoying what you are making, you don't need patience. You don't need determination. I do have ways of deliberately inflating my own inner ego, especially when it comes to negotiating with clients, i think it is very important to foster a feeling of self-worth. But when I'm creating, I don't need to. I bring that enjoyment to commissions, and that's all I need. I condition myself to enjoy whatever i'm doing.Often I don't even need to because most of the animation process really is fun. But yeah if that doesn't work then you need to find what does. Meditation, mindfulness, smoking a fat spliff. I don't know...
Really informative video 😔✨✨ But I have a ques. How many fps do we have to use to morph an object to another? Like I want it to be so smooth and steady at the same time
I need help, I'm trying to learn another type of morph animation, it's like the color palette of the character separates into the same character, but with a different pose.
Hey howard, I was just wondering if you could start a, beginners guide at animating, becauce I know there are alot of young and inspirering peeps trying to get into animation, just like people like me XD
Where's the transformation collection video on the Animator Guild Community? At the end of this video it says it came out, but I looked for it and couldn't find it.
Thabnks gto teach me i havent been active in my animations but its good study to try out im a agicina and vfx and animatior guy and my major is film you know the arts thannks for the lesson soon ill post it
@howard wimshurst Hey man, just a thought but I think a lot of people would love it if you did live streams. Just talk about whatever while you are animating.
can you do a more comprehensive tutorial on how to animate a fight scene, like which frames should be longer, how to space the drawings for certain actions. ive seen all your videos but you dont do a lot of explaining mostly talking and its hard to comprehend a lot of what you say. if you did like a checklist of how to do each thing for animating a fight scene it would help a lot. like "number 1. draw your keyframes, then explain what keyframes are. then like 2. space the drawing this far away from th onion skin at 3fps to get this effects as opposed to 2's." etc. i sound like i know how to do it and i guess i do but all the info is scattered in my brain and i just need somebody to put them in the right order and more simple. EDIT. didnt mean 3 fps i just meant which drawings should be 3 frames long or 2 or 1. i know i have to tinker to get the right motion but when i go through your animations frame by frame youre able to make 3's not seem jittery which i dont understand because when i use a drawing in my animation that is 3 frames long it grinds the entire animation to a hault
hey thanks for the suggestion, and yes I see what you mean. the videos I put up here on RUclips are quite advanced - (I expect people to be up to speed or for people to come back to the video when they reach the right level) and in videos like this one, it is a bit of a showcase of what i have made and explaining loosely how it was made. But I have plans to make the kind of video courses that you are describing, where I break it down. Those kind of videos take a lot more work and careful planning. I am prepared to put the time in to make them, but they will cost money to buy because of the value that is in them and the amount of work it takes to make them. I've been kindof put off from making those checklist type videos in the past, because the more specific you get about certain moves, the more you limit the freedom the student has. For example if I gave instructions of how to make something line by line, it would work and you would have made something good and it would be easy, but you would not be able to apply that to anything else. If I make a transformation a certain way, the number one thing I want you to know is that that is not the only way to make a transformation. but I am starting to see that maybe if I did a checklist type course that people would be able to take lessons from it and it would build their confidence and satisfaction because with the help of the course they could build something that is beyond their current level. The other big reason I haven't made a checklist course is because... My process is not like that. I mess up. All the time. my process looks stupid. I try out a few things, fail, go back to the drawing board, look through references for days, think about it, try something else, tweak it a whole lot. That is the nature of it. That is often how good animation is forged. You see how if I brought you along for that you would be a bit confused and frustrated and i would be embaraced? But yeah I'm working on it. The online courses I'm working on will be clear cut and easy to follow. Anyone will be able to start the course and make something really nice by the end.
Howard Wimshurst thank you so much for the reply I've been a follower of yours for about a year now and ur the reason why I started animating. I think a huge problem I have is my inability to keep consistency with my in betweens so I shy away from doing the appropriate amount needed for a high intensity form of animation. But I still appreciate ur response though. I'm working on a 2d spiderman animation and I'd like to send it to you when I'm done. It's basically the culmination of the dozens of hours I've spent watching and re watching your videos so your opinion would mean the world to me. I have a 30 second rough draft on my insta conrad_hogg but I'll dm a finished version when it's done if u ever have the time to watch it. Thanks again
please help me i am a beginer in 2d animation and i know how to animate but i dont know where to start like every time i just open the software and then close it as i have no idea what to do

And how patient you are ._.

But I have a ques. How many fps do we have to use to morph an object to another? Like I want it to be so smooth and steady at the same time
