'The Lost Art of Drawing the Classroom' Timelapse
Added 2024-10-27 13:18:17 +0000 UTCThis is a companion video to this month's 'The Lost Art of Drawing the Classroom' showing the process without cuts. This drawing took a while due to its complexity, and it might be of value to some of those that are interested in the full drawing process.

This inspires me to take a look at Krita's animation features so I can try and stick with one software as much as possible like you say. Thank you so much for the insights and tips Dong, have a great day!

2024-11-18 07:44:58 +0000 UTCGood question! I think a large amount of animators use CSP for the layout to tiedown stage of animation. Another software is generally used for cleanup and cel painting. CSP has solid drawing features despite it not being an animation software which makes it popular here. I think Krita and Opentoonz are both solid software and they do most things you need for animation. It's probably better to stick with one software though the animation process, but it looks like someone created a plugin to convert the files from Krita to Tahoma/Opentoonz (https://wolfinabowl.itch.io/oca-to-xdts-converter). Another way to go from one software to another in general is to export an image sequence and import that into the other software!

2024-11-18 03:19:20 +0000 UTCThank you so much for posting the entire drawing, it's really insightful. Just a quick question: it seems like you're using CSP to draw a keyframe here (indicated by the "A(1) END" marking). Is it common in the Japanese industry to use CSP for drawing, rather than animation software like OpenToonz? Or are you using CSP because it's well suited for both drawing AND animation? Asking because I personally find it much easier to draw in Krita rather than OpenToonz, so I was wondering if maybe there's an easy way to convert from one program to the other.

2024-11-17 16:28:44 +0000 UTCYeah thats a good question. I had studied Japanese a bit during my last year of university and during the year after I graduated while I worked in Canada. I managed to get to N4 level before enrolling myself in a Japanese Language school for 6 months in Tokyo before I started my job search. I think studying Japanese in Japan is probably 2-4x faster than doing it overseas.

2024-11-01 02:52:54 +0000 UTCI apologize that this is unrelated to this months video, but I have a question for you. As someone who moved to Japan for work, did you already speak Japanese, and if not, how did you go about learning it to the point where you could function in a work environment?
