How do you get such clean lines in flash? Mine are always messy.

Using the brush tool, I zoom in close and draw fast.(the pencil tool is also good. its size doesn’t scale to the zoom level, and line thickness can be adjusted after the line has been drawn.)

Why did you switch over from TVPaint 10 towards Adobe Flash CS6? I'm just learning TVpaint 11 and find it way better atm than Adobe Flash CS6.

I felt that using TVP10 made putting my work into my teams’ pipelines (which were mainly using Flash or Toon Boom) more difficult than it should be.that, and I just felt the need to finally learn the darn program.also, TVP can be really taxing on hardware, I don’t know how I put up with it lagging so much.

a closer look at some Sprint Vector thumbnails.

earlier in the year, Studio Yotta was entering on a bid to produce animation for the upcoming VR game Sprint Vector by Survios. Ismael/@art-cavalera and I were tasked with making material for the bid.

my work is shown above: sketching and lineart for the style frames, as well as storyboarding for themed transitions. the original board sheets can be found here and here.

this was my first time making work for pre-production. i wasn’t really sure what to make of storyboarding for a pitch, so i just went with the vertical-type sheet format.

So where did you start with teaching yourself? I would like to get to at least some skill and have books n materials but don't know where to begin

i started animating about a year after i had graduated from high school, but even now, i believe that participating in theatre in high school had me tangentially learning the fundamentals of “drawing to convey”. that, and ever since i was a kid, i’ve always paid a weird amount of attention to just watching things move.

speaking to the general public, if you’re serious about animating, take an acting class. even if you’re not a decent stage actor by the end of it, there’s ideas within stage performance and narrative structure that carry over into all forms of art.

if you’re just starting, then you don’t really need to do a whole lot of reading. there’s things moving all around you: outside, on TV, in the workplace, on the news, on the football field, on the construction site, etc. pay close attention to how things move; analyze and absorb what you’ve seen, and let that be a point of reference from which you make your decisions on whether the motion you’ve drawn looks right or not.

watch film – of all kinds, not just the animated kind. watch theatre, see how actors move and posture themselves to perform to an audience member that may be at a seat in the farthest row from the stage. dabble in physics and fluid dynamics to investigate on what makes matter move the way it does.

tho, if you must have some reading material, i recommend Timing for Animation by Harold Whitaker, and the ubiquitous Animator’s Survival Guide by RIchard Williams.

start small and simple. observe other artists’ animation and make personal critique. observe your own animation and make constructive adjustments. always be tackling self-imposed challenges.

how do you start to nimate? every time i try i dont know where to start

start short, simple, and complete!try animating some 5-frame loops to get a feel for it.

Hi!!! I was wondering (because im a AMATEUR animator) why do you use like different colors for like "puff" clouds. What I mean is that like those clouds that come up when a character "disappears" a white cloud comes up but in your animation lineart you use different colors for most everything. Why is that?

When working in an animation team, you’re going to be handing off your work to others for cleaning up and polishing, so you want to keep things as clear as possible to avoid confusion.

If all the effects in a shot-in-progress were one color, it’d be very hard to tell which effects are which, especially, for example, if there’s multiple explosion/dust effects right next to each other.

pretty much, someone doing clean-up can go “okay, that’s explosion A, that’s dust wave B, those are the speedlines” without getting mixed up in all the frames.

Do you use the same brush settings as you posted on 3/14/16? if not could you share please? thanks!

The brush settings that I currently use are exactly the same, save for added pressure sensitivity.
