Happy polar bear

A little animation made on TVPaint, some timing, overlaps and attitude.

Mix of many tutorials I posted there :)

The smears.

You may saw this when you stop an onlgoing animation, we call this effect a smear.

There is an example with two type of this effect:

The straigh line, it gives a smoother effect for the transition, also is mostly used for many parts moving at the same time (like parts of the body, parts of a background), create a speed effect that also works fine if the element you want to animate moving is at full speed.

The separated line, gives more element and graphic to the transiti...

Dancing fox remake (I'm still there on Patreon ^^')

Hello everybody, this is a remake of an old animation made on my DSi, I did it again on my PC with TVPaint, corrected the tail and shape to maintain the whole design (that changed a bit on the DSi one, mostly the ears).

This month was quite hard for me to update my Patreon, that's why it felt a bit empty there this month (had to travel a lot and search for more tutorials to share with you, internet troubles that couldn't help to stream ...)

so I will put as much tutos as I can for the ne...

TVPaint animation (stream process coming)

Another dynamic animation I made using TVPaint, since many of you asked me for more stream (and I will do a lot for you!) I'm training to use various options to be able to explain them to you while I animate things in front of you. You can already see 3 of my stream on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNdNkUfhFfzBtKRU_5QgUvw

any questions feel free to ask them on...

Big dancing wolf and 3 little shy pigs

An animation I made using the rythm of the "clap cat" song

Making little gifs with songs helps for the timing! https://twitter.com/Kekeflipnote/status/872942410468397057

Streaming sessions of this will come :) (using a song to bring an idea from it)

Father and kids, step by step

All the steps I made to build my animation :)

All is hand drawn too!

Work on timing and tempo with a song.

Sketching first helps for proportions, have fun with the lines and then focus

When the shape is good it's easier to advance (example with all of the little furr overlaping) 

The step with the leg being colored was the color test step, when I was fine with it then I did the whole body!

Kids !

Little animation about a walk cycle and kids !!

expressions :)

Made in TVPaint, it changes from the pixels!

An animation...

Important Update: Streamings coming! (April)

Hello everyone, an important message there I want to put.

Animating take a lot of time for me (also making tutorials, or even finding the ideas of what I shall do as tutorials) and I don't share that much on a month there for you to learn because being able to teach you animation is the best I can do and teaching should be free for everyone especially animation since it often cost an arm to learn "haha!"

So I wanted to thank all of you for supporting me there and I will always be gratefu...

Breakdowns

Hello everyone :) 

This is an example of breakdown, what is it? 

A breakdown is when you use two key poses, and that what you can see between two key poses, for an action you can make many possibilities!

There I used two key poses, one fro the beginning and one for the ending, and then I got the choice to draw anything I wanted between them. This is the result.

When you try this exercice it's always good to let in the light the two main key poses (or more...

Behind the mouth, the teeth!

Hello everybody, something interesting and kind of new for myself, animating the mouth with the teeth inside of it! Making illustrations do follow this rule too but when it comes to animate you can find many surprises and you can be fooled and lost pretty fast, so there is something simple and easy to do.

When you drew your face (a facial key pose for exemple) draw also the inside of it, by transparency; so you have a main base, and use it for all the other frames you will do (to help you can ...

Step by step to build the dancing Panther

Hello :)

So this is the video I made to show my steps to build this character.

I used TVPaint to make this one, there I began to draw the body that lead to all of the rest, the tempo, the rythme I put there will allow me to animate the rest linked to what settings I put first on the body.

Then All the other details follow (the steps are not a rule, you can place the feets before the head if you want, it will lead you to the same result) but do everything in di...

Walk cycle reminder

To make an effective walk cycle always think of this:

The body going up and down: remember that walking is pushing our body forward and the leg come up to catch it from falling, depends of the way your character is walking, you can exaggerate the motion and effect.

The arms: in general try to catch a zone where the arms can balance and keep it the most than you can, it will giv a natural feel and also pleasant effect for the eyes.

The shape of the walking cycle: all depends of you ...

Happy holidays!! Bonnes vacances !!

Happy holidays everyone, enjoy them and have lot of fun!

Thank you for supporting me there on Patreon too, tutorials will never stop and I'm happy to see many animators and non-animator learning and  going thanks to them.

2017 will be full of rewards too (finally!) I will be able to put special detailed tutos and even make special illustrations for you as a huge thanks!

You helped me greatly this year and I can't thank you enough for it.

Thank ou all !

Squash and stretch ! Les exemples

Many of you asked me about how I made my squash and stretch effects since I do use them A LOT !!!

There are many exemples that helps to focus on them while animating. The first of them is when you want to use one during an ongoing action, it's pretty simple. you just have to begin the action with some frames before beginning to make the frame with the stretch effect (Point A) and then put the effect zone (in general this effect is not that big if it's on an ongoing action, but since it's an ex...

Cycle and Timing !

Hello everyone, I made these animated cycle some times ago but without much explanations on them, now I can put some to help you to see how a cycle can work and many ways you can put to make it works better.

First, in general when you make a cycle, chose a multiple number of 2 (2, 4, 6, 12,  24, 40 etc ...) to make a perfect step to step walk (3, 7, 19; 23 etc numbers are for a different type of walk, for exemple a character who limp).

Then separate this number in 2 and...

Pop-corn dance

An animation I could realize with the help of an existant gif :) 

Tutos are coming soon, working on them, take some times.

Major updates !!

Hello, time to finally be active on the rewards for you!

I can't thank you enough for supporting me there and supporting my work that I often share online, I asked for help to make rewards, because I don't use Photoshop for exemple and can't give PSD, Full resolution things like most artists do, so I get many other ideas, special for Patreons :

When a fox and a pigeon try to dance in the same room !
