Check out my latest tutorial on running an indie anime studio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4qVYolvhsmNrrs

[@Akokunkun]

As someone who is getting into animation, thi was really helpful!!!! I never knew all this about these colour indecation lines, I thought those get removed even before shadow is added!?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’ve made follow-up videos to this in the past, but the basic process is when digitizing the drawing, the colored lines are separated onto its own layer and then you just paint over it. Check out the channel NICCA Ch., they have a playlist on their channel of how to do this in Clip Studio Paint, so you should be able to translate that to any program.

[@Duhman2]

Same!!!!

[@Natan_Animation8]

one man team here

[@random-kun]

Same

[@prettyspectrum6371]

I've been searching for an explanation of those lines for MONTHS !! To how to use it, the right colors, everything . THANK YOU !!

[@Fanimatic]

You can also use diffrent colors to shade in animation aswell! I usually draw the shadow with the shading color and then just fill that color in. It's very convinient for me but i have to plan my pallets XD

[@SoloAnimetor]

Same 😭

[@Peisk0]

I don’t animate, nor am I interested in animating. But here I am

[@fluffybbpeachhun6768]

As a old animation student this should be taught no matter what

[@digitxlrin]

*sobs in beginner frame-by-frame animator* THIS WAS SO DAMN HELPFUL HELLO!? This will surely help my animations look more consistent, thanks a lot!

[@PufftasticJames4]

My animation instructor claimed these are a waste of time, and he is SOOOO WRONG! These are actually very helpful for coloring animations. Thanks for this awesome, informative video.

[@bakugousbigtiddiegothgf3685]

Thank you for making this video, you explain this concept so well and understandable for a beginner like me❤❤

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dazz_2d]

i actualy use these colors and line not just for animation, but i also use for just doing art in general, and it sort of gives the art a realy interesting look to it

Thank you so much!!!

[@jessikacaroline72]

Thank you very much! I always wondered how they make the gradient effect keeping it cohesive.

[@Drawsca]

Very useful video, thank you!!

[@zukohere7935]

I'm learning how to draw right now and its been kinda rocky lol but you def gave me the motivation to keep trying, i really loved this video!!!

[@yukiHanakoMino]

I've been planning to do some animations, but. This helps me ALOT!!! You have a new sub!

[@KonoDarknessDa]

i finally understand everything. THanks you so much!! i thought most of the colour should be using in every special spot while drawing Anime. now i clear my mind set. ONce again, *Thanks you so much!*

[@XArlecchinox313]

AS one who wants to start an animation channel THANK YOU SM! I've been looking for info like this and you have provided thx!

[@neonranger1192]

When you shown the clanned character sheet. My tears came out 😢

[@ItzMizuna]

As a multimedia arts student this information is so helpful, tysm!!

[@Izogashii]

I'm actually looking for this kind of guide. Thank you for the information; it's a big help for me.

[@user-il3ip2wh5i]

Wow this is so helpful!! Thamk you for making this video!! and if you know about the anime compositing can you make another video about the compositing process?

[@specialmamon2405]

As someone who was confused what the lines were for,thank you for showing up on my yt homepage❤❤

[@partypoison8476]

As an aspiring animator who is somewhat intimidated by all this symbols for animation, this is really helpful! Could you do another video too about the box for camera panning, like the one at 10:13?

[@elcletus9695]

Gracias por subtitular tus videos, me subscribí automaticamente :)

[@nazelune]

I less interest in making animation before, after saw this I'm thinking to start learn it again. Thank you for the short guide, means a lot to me :)

[@RobsonRdartoficialmente]

great video! helped me a lot!

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Glad it helped!

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

Best guide ever like a layer/outline guide

[@Yazilei]

Amazing video

[@ender7910]

Not an animator, but after learning this, may try using it in my artworks. After all, it does get messy on high rendered artworks at a certain point.

[@RTOF]

As an amateur casual cartoon animator (I think), I find this strategy of implementing highlights genuinely intriguing

[@1karina]

How I admire 2d animators especially Japanese animators…they’re really something else

[@04cesar]

In my first animation (just finished), I didn't use any shadow or highlight colors, but I believe it would make the process easier. I'll try incorporating them next time.

[@imadsultana-bq2bb]

That's very helpful

[@riv3r_mango705]

As a person who wants to do more animation projects, this is pretty cool. I sometimes used colored lines for shadows/lighting, but never really knew the specifics about it. I’m experimenting with new animation apps and haven’t really seen the one at 8:41 (that could just be me). What app is it so I can check it out?

[@spywi]

I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.

[@nenidetic]

looks like clip studio paint ex on an ipad!

[@Your_average_psycho]

Now I’ll no longer suffer in coloring processes

[@FawnTheCreator]

I am watching this on an iPad. With the exact thing you were advertising lmao!!!

[@alonedark5348]

I'm going to be an animator and designer (basically anime desinger and animation maker. I hope so.. this is my dream) and I'm wondering one thing, How can I make anime animations? Uhh well, Is there an app you can recommend? Where can I start first for making and designing anime animations? I hope you reply. You would have helped me a lot. ✨️ Edit: (I don't have an iPad, can I make anime from PC? Or is there an animation & design application for the computer that you can recommend?)

[@AnimaEvan]

Muito boa as dicas !

[@Jokin_Jake]

I primarily draw on an iPad and I heard you mention that you primarily animate with an iPad. I really want to become an animator, so I was wondering what programs you recommend. I primarily draw with Procreate and I've been dabbling in Procreate dreams, however Procreate Dreams is very new and is missing many features. I'm just hoping that you can give me some recommendations. Thank you!

[@Fishyfoo]

What coloured lines do they use in lighting scenes?

[@PumaFronAfk]

1 mathematical theorem, 4 colors is suficient to fill a map

[@ohjie-un]

Looks so hard but.. i respect for those who make it

[@semsem2509]

How did you turn your iPad into a second display and how did you use after-effect on it?

[@godslayerreginald]

0:21 yo thats me i asked that 😂😂😂

[@Snow-Willow]

As someone who has dabbled in animation as a casual hobby in Clip Studio Paint this was fascinating. I don't think I could ever be a full-fledged animator, partly because my brain gives a 404 error whenever I try to figure out After Effects. Lol

[@tsukuneboy]

Haha jokes on you......Loving Vincent actually challenged these standard animation rules. Kidding!

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Entirely different process and vision for Loving Vincent, but I understand what you mean.

[@AtomBackerZs]

Yep

[@sfanim7865]

“As a” person who got logged out of his friends crunchyroll account and had been binge watching all AOT seasons…that’s about it. Keep up the good work🤙

[@xisseth]

I have a question that's a bit off-topic from the main focus of this video, but I've been searching for an answer for quite some time without success. At 4:32, there are letters (A, B, C...) accompanied by numbers, and I'm curious about their purpose and how they work. Could you please explain that?

[@DaniBossu]

do you know wich program they used to animate invincible?

[@FZKS-28]

Can you explain what is the letters in the animation?

What animation app do u use, that looks portable if it’s running in iPad!

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.

[@flamebrindger3984]

I'm still kinda lost on some things mentioned in the video, some terminology being one of the few things. Is there a set order or structural outline? Still really enjoyed the video. I'm mostly an outsider/noob when it comes to art and animation.

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Wait for my next video

[@Pancakiaa]

dang

[@mintyglitch9304]

Do you have to use blue and red for highlights and dark?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’m specifically talking about the Japanese anime pipeline, this is specific to what they usually use. If you’re a solo animator, do whatever you’d like with whatever colors you like. 👍

[@mintyglitch9304]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thanks just got confused

[@lsheepqueen1017]

What app is this

[@mz0rz64]

Why rough animation always looks blinking?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Because you don’t need to draw 30+ finished drawings if you’re only drawing rough drafts. At the rough stage you only need to draw the keyframes and not every drawing until the final lineart stage.

[@dundeecake]

wait what is wrong with shading purple + multiply? like i know it didnt always work out but?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

It’s been the butt of the joke for the artist community for decades as “amateurish”, with people being really vile against beginner artists because they “didn’t know color theory” or “need to learn to shade skin properly” or some other bs like that.

[@roricute]

Japan land of Animation, It is not only superior in animation compared to the rest of the world, but also in narrative, direction, soundtrack, characters, VA...everything.

[@-_acally_-]

3:37 IS THAT STOLAS???? I must've been dreaming😧

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Helluvaboss/Hazbin Hotel animator videos about compositing and animation are incidentally some of the best vids for finding little tidbits of wisdom. Like how you learn that they animate the glow of the eyes separately, or that Stolas’s cape is a green screen during production.

[@wosartstudios9907]

Why do some of the line art disappear on playback

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’ve answered this in a TikTok, but during the layout/1st key step, you don’t have to draw every single frame, especially for parts that do not move. You’ll see this a lot especially with looping motion, where part of the animation stays still while another part moves. That way, the next animator knows which parts to draw that are or are not moving for those frames.

[@wosartstudios9907]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thanks for confirming what I thought. Just put me at ease

[@ashleynicole4540]

I enjoyed this. I lol at the part where you say purple as a shadow choice is somehow bad. All of the best painters and artists use purple/blue like hues to paint shadows instead of black. Great artsy intuition if you chose it on your own!

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

lol the amount of beginner artists that get bullied for only using purple on a multiply layer 😅 we gotta break the mold, cuz I also really love the color purple.

[@whatTheblue]

Hey what software do you use on ipad for animation?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.

[@whatTheblue]

I'm also planning to animate on the ipad so just one last thing, can you make industry standard or similar animation on CSP on ipad?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

@whatTheblue it has been very publicly shown through various KZbin videos online like from Crunchyroll, Mappa, and even during the production of recent shows like God of High School or Oshi ni Ko that iPads (and Clip Studio Paint) are being used in production.

[@whatTheblue]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Wow that's great. Thank you

[@Kouorai]

Thanks for explaining but installing f's plugin are so complicated

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I use a color selection method in HitFilm to get around this, or I go the extreme route and just use transparent PNG’s instead, since I can’t really afford After Effects or Photoshop

[@Scobo646]

What type of software do you use

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

!csp

[@thou_narsty_gremlin]

How many animes could an animator animate if an anime animation could animate animators? (for those who don't get it, it's like the "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood" tongue twister)

[@Moonbami]

I see Akane, I like

[@passingfree8681]

I am confused about something, as a solo animator why would you need all this colour code? Wouldn't it make the work redundant and waste you your time since only you, are managing all the process? Please it's a genuine question

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’ll make this as simple as possible for you : 1) If I skip a few steps and go straight to the “final results”, but then realize that I made major mistakes in anatomy or timing, then I would have to go back and redo my work all over again, and sometimes this takes even MORE work, and MORE time to fix. Better to just do a rough pass, fix mistakes ahead of time, and then you will have a better finished animation. This is quite literally how anime studios and even western animation studios ensure quality control. 2) If I am familiar with, and have personally animated my way through the entire animated production pipeline, then in the future, when I am teaching new team members, I am able to oversee every part of the process because I was once in their shoes. Plus, as a Director, you SHOULD be familiar with every part of the process. This is not optional, there have been multiple in the anime projects that have failed simply because the Director did not understand parts of the process. You’re assuming that this is wasting time, but in actuality, I am not only working faster this way, but my animations turn out way better, and I am gaining the necessary skills to run my indie studio.

[@jackmoseu2132]

Personally I find the color coding necessary to keep track of how I originally wanted my animations to look, especially when it gets more detailed. Animations take time, and sometimes I forget things

[@passingfree8681]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Thank you for clarifying that!

as someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder, i can use these tips to make things clear for other members of my "team". I can see this being useful if you have severe memory problems, as well!

[@ASpaceOstrich]

"One of those people who used purple to shade and set it to multiply" What does that mean? Did you stop? Is this frowned upon?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

It’s a long-standing meme in the art community that if you shade *everything* with purple, then you’re an “amateur artist”, same with the idea that “amateurs only shade with black”. In reality, that bit of gatekeeping shows up less and less, so it was more of a meme for the older gen artists that follow me (I’m old, haha)

[@Ashura86AE]

thanks man

[@Enrommie]

So it's not obvious that the line are literally just where the shading will be? heh already knew the green line was a gradient before told

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

Fun fact, I once asked TikTok and IG why it wasn’t common sense that the red and blue lines are where the shading would be. Immediately got like 5000+ comments calling me condescending, an asshole, people saying it’s not common sense (mostly non-animators, which wasn’t my intended audience). So yeah, apparently it’s not obvious 😂
