Animation - Studying Light and Shade

[@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575]

The concept behind this study is fantastic.

[@Leekodot15]

"You know what, just... throw in a bunch of lights and hook em to a control panel, we'll figure it out as we go!"

[@Shahmizie6769]

Yeah l on know

[@ping-bi3dm]

Why? I dont get it

[@everythingwithashton5876]

God the fact that this is someone drawing moving shadows and not just actual shadows being cast is amazing. It looks so REAL

haha yes!

[@Foxman7364]

If you pay attention from 0:55 to 1:15, you can notice that the paper is torn away and then when the paper is put back together, they TAPE it back together. It's the little details here that make me enjoy the artwork so much more

[@GURl_UPREM0]

I didn't noticed it! I was so focused on the lights movement that I missed that cute detail! Thank u 😊

[@sait_rainworld]

that's a nice detail thanks for letting us know

[@JustDEV1]

How the heck did you even notice that bru

[@tayyang2265]

You also see that the character has less nervohs sweat the further along it goes

[@spenceduggs]

My jaw dropped when we got to Streetlights. Every last one of these are amazing in their own way, but I honestly wasn't expecting the sheer variety and MASTERY of each. Brilliant work. Keep it up! 👍

[@charcoal5495]

I KNOW RIGHT ???? This video is mind blowing and really show the work put in

[@WHAL-E]

The streetlights is a lighting i forgot about, so seeing the animation of it was so cool!!

[@SpringBross]

Correct!

Dear Lord, this is one of the most eye opening animation exercises I have seen for a very long time. Absolutely gorgeous. ♥ (0:40 Overcast and Sunset in particular look like something straight out of Klaus).

Not only were you able to perfectly show us all these different lighting techniques, but you also made these beautifully animated walk cycles! amazing quality bro, bravo!

[@Dice-Z]

More like lighting styles rather than techniques, but yeah. /pedantic

[@athensroja]

I Know This Guy!

[@willlit2806]

I watched this on .5 and had to rewind many times, a simply wonderful showcase of animation and skill with shading

[@Hidenidentity]

Interesting

[@MageBurger]

I am utterly astounded that these amazing shading tests were put in the context of some guy involving a test subject in a studio lighting rig. That’s awesome!

[@comfymoder72]

This art is actually unfathomable to me. Like HOW??? You are TOO good. Do not let mappa see this, you are too good for that.

[@greenpanda.k8337]

What do you mean by "don't let mappa see this"😞It's too late, they're already on the watch list.

[@kiek3kfnfn]

just work for toei

[@3ftninja132]

I was blown here by the algorithm winds and OH MY GOD!!! That shading re-introduction/test animation had NO REASON TO BE THAT GOOD OR ADORABLE ❤️❤️❤️

[@clawcakes2]

this is gorgeous holy shit. that art style trauma moment for the both of them at the end is so funny

[@lesserl_]

I am so extremely proud of the fact that you toned down the amount of frames. Not only it's easier to produce, now your animations look very natural while still smooth!!!

[@jgunner280]

Forest and street lights are both amazing in their own right. Really captured the feeling of the sun specks crawling out through trees, or that pulsing walk under bright lights in a dark place. But all the rest is still great work to, and kind of just fun with that little setup animation.

[@Yuekitty]

Wow! Not only does this video showcase different light perspectives and how to draw them, it shows different styles! This is amazing!

[@zacharynovak2180]

Wow, this looks great! I especially love the forest and sunset shadings

[@pixieBotanist]

That was amazing. I loved that it included random styles like jjk and dbz, that got a real laugh out of me. This video needs to be archived as an important piece of internet information.

[@nightmareknighteng8936]

i love this creative way of telling how shading and light works, very straight forward and undertsandable!

[@aidenevans1832]

How the hell do you make such beautiful animations so quickly. I watch so many animators that take a whole year to make something only half as good as this.

[@SirloinBurgers]

I have a lot more free time than most people despite working a 40-hour/week full-time job, just because of my lifestyle :P I live alone, don't really do anything for entertainment or leisure, don't keep in touch or hang out with more than a couple people, and also get unhappy if I have to go even one day without producing some kind of tangible output. No plans on ever changing any of those things lol

[@aidenevans1832]

​@@SirloinBurgersHaving that kind of mindset while having this much talent, yet only having 40k subs is criminal to me. You will always be an inspiration to me and I hope you have success with whatever you choose to work on next.

[@theflaminggroundon632]

​@@SirloinBurgersthe work ya do is insane, by chance what do you use for animation?

[@SirloinBurgers]

@@theflaminggroundon632 I use Clip Studio Paint as of about nine months ago, before that I used Photoshop with a plugin installed to make the UI more animation-friendly.

[@mutedglasses]

This is so insane you are incredible

[@dali-dog]

the amount of effort on display here is insane. I am pained thinking about how long this probably took to make lol. every time I thought it had to be done it just kept going and impressing me more and more. At certain points it just becomes an experiment in colour and lineart too. You went above and beyond for this study and I have huge respect for that. Honestly I might come back to this video to help with my own animations if I ever feel like putting myself through shading lol, I think it would be a great tool for reference

[@LocalSoothsayer]

*GORGEOUS*

[@Madbirdreal]

These are seriously best lighting example animations I’ve ever seen, this is very helpful! Thank you!

[@elecmagpulse7385]

I’m completely blown away by how insanely well you did every single one of these angles and styles. Absolutely stunning.

[@FoxeroVA]

My goodness, this is the one of the most creative and coolest animation exercises I have ever seen. I'll forever keep this video in my mind when studying different kinds of shading.

[@maxjustice1542]

You got me to watch 28 different walk cycles with different lighting and shades. It looks so detailed and well made for a study. Also realize the 29th one at the end where they change was pretty neat too.

[@fushiku]

that's the first time I watch studying video fully and not waiting for the mood, masterpiece

[@5postman_russian525]

this is not just a funny lil animation - ITS BASICALY TUTORIAL

[@brumptychipmunksey361]

This is awesome! I love how they get more confident as they spend more time on the treadmill! This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen!

[@plumppheasant4683]

I never comment but this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on here. The whole thing is great but I especially love the split view allowing me to keep looking at one even after a new one pops up. Really great.

[@KoffeeSlider]

Dude I love the art style and animation, it's so expressive! Every one of these animation studies you do (and just animations in general) amazes me, I really look forward to seeing more because I really love this stuff!

[@Unwanted_VOID]

The fukin anime refrences got me, I wasn't expecting them but it killed me how accurate they were, literally perfect representation of shading imo, and would likely end up used in so many future art classes (or at least it should) awesome work 😄

[@ohio7876]

I like the small detail where the number cards changes as it moves on to different types of lighting and shading such a nice detail

[@oliverry4826]

I am forever amazed by how much effort and character you fit into these animation exercises. Seriously impressive, you are a very skilled animator.

[@Brunoki22]

That was so nice to look at! It really helped me get to know some more styles to practice. And I enjoyed that it was just a slice of life cartoon all throughout. It was nice seeing something like that for a change in indie animation.

[@Aral750]

Thank you algorithm for showing me this work of art. You are an incredibly tallented artist.

[@SnufflySpy]

Ive been recommended this video at least 200 times, and I finally bit the bullet and watched it, and im so grateful i did. This is an excellebt animation showing off various shading strategies

[@SuperWiiBros08]

Freaking love all the takes on this, almost reminds me to the insane shading and lighting done for Who Frame Roger rabbit, it has that very good 3d look

[@ducksociety3514]

I always knew that shading in animation is important and adds to the atmosphere of a scene but actually seeing a demonstration for each of these different forms gives off a certain beauty that I just can't describe.

[@FellowNoob163]

It's hard to believe this is drawn, with some points making it obvious again. So impressive! BTW, I guessed the music correctly, almost. Reminded me of the Maplestory Login Theme, just happy instead of the sad nostalgic.

[@tcg2717]

This is an insanely good video, and you are an insanely good artist. I'm not even looking to do animation but I'm liking and subscribing because I wish to support artists like you. Great stuff man, keep it up.

[@C_Corpze]

This is so beautifully animated, some lighting styles even look accurate to how it would look in 3D software. Me as 3D artist I basically get lighting mostly for free and just have to adjust some parameters and settings, but I cannot imagine how painful it must be to draw lighting by hand. I've made a short 3 second animation with lighting before once, using drawing. I don't think I'll do it again. LOL

[@_Sank0_]

that was so satisfying to look at ! amazing work, its easy to notice you truly do love animation and i cant even fathom how long it must've took you to finish this video. I hope you had fun studying all those and wish you the best in the animation industry ^^

[@woof-io]

This is amazing. I can't even tell if it's 2D, or 3D in some cases (or maybe just both), especially with the stylized shading techniques like the Comic and Bold ones!

[@SirloinBurgers]

The whole thing is 2D, shadows and all :)

[@woof-io]

@@SirloinBurgers That is legitimately so impressive, because I no joke thought that some of the transitions were 3D with how smoothly the light moved on the legs/arms!

Love the animation. I still don't get how people become "good" with shade, shadows, lighting, and directional lighting. Also, MapleStory has permenantly bruned itself into my brain. Great choice in music... thanks for bringing me back to years ago.

[@SirloinBurgers]

A lot of what I know about shading is an extension of what I know about 3D space, like balls / cylinders / cubes drawn in perspective. When you get the hang of that by itself it's way easier to visualize how light and shadows interact with 3D planes, otherwise it becomes overwhelming guesswork :P

[@cjirwin7889]

Not to sure if you'll read this, but I really want to know what drawing tablet you use for all of these animation projects. Trying to get more into art as a hobby and really like your work! (and the music is nice I love maplestory and kirby) (also love sam and max)

[@SirloinBurgers]

Currently I use a 24" XPPen Artist24 Pro tablet and have no complaints (it was $1000 when I got it though). I've only had it for a couple years, before that I had a 20" Huion KAMVAS 20 tablet. These two have actual displays on them so it's like drawing on a monitor. When I got into digital art I spent the first five-ish years with cheaper tablets that didn't have a display, partially because I was in early high school with only birthday money to my name but also because I didn't even know if I'd enjoy it. I upgraded a total of three times, each time realizing that I wanted to take art more seriously as a hobby :)

[@cjirwin7889]

@@SirloinBurgers Wow im really surprised u replied (and so soon at that!). I have been using a tablet w/o a screen for a while (2-3 odd years) and find it a little difficult. I asked cause I plan to spend some money on one. I'm trying to spend less time with games and move more time into art because I've always found it interesting. I also plan to take it more seriously and really learn how to draw. Again Thank you for the quick reply love the work.

Wow this is amazing this animation of yours has actually taught me something so much of such that animation is more than just fun it's also about educational standards! The level of detail in relationship into different types of light angles and shading goes really really well and it's actually very well explanatory that it's actually fun and educational at the very same time talking about different animation methods being used so far for creators to get heavily inspired by your content.
