Animation Layout 102: Tips and Tricks for Professional Perspective Drawings

[@taylor550]

Mr Chang is CARRYING the international animation scene

[@eddybrockad722]

I am from India 🇮🇳 I am learning animation with your video sir 😊❤❤

[@Alifkbr]

@5:28 my mind is officially blown

[@MJWolverine21]

I have seen countless perspective videos but seen no one elaborating how to determine an eye level based on my character's pose and build a perspective grid according to that to create a background. This tips are so much information packed. I found it really helpful. Coming straight from a Japanese Animation Industry professional. And Kiki Chan is a real life anime girl. Makes it more lovely to put her on such an informative tutorial.

Love how you incorporated references from pictures that you took! Shows different methods/tools someone can use to complete the shot they want. Keep it up!!

[@Musashi246]

I've been watching art tutorials for 10 years and this is my favorite channel by far. I've been sending it to all my friends! Thanks for making these videos :) Btw, a great topic for another video would be "How to build scenes with the CSP perspective ruler tool". It's pretty complicated to get into. Especially how to do this "different objects with different vanishing points" and "Have the character follow the same perspective as the scene"

[@goomba478]

The perspective trick with the character moving into the background was fantastic. I went to art school and never learned that before :) Thank you!

[@normalnani893]

This is such a gift. You are absolutely kind, I love the patient and simple way you explain things out

[@MD0K]

I've taken perspective courses and this 8 minute video just explained all that so much better. Great work and thank you

Hey Dong this is a very informative and nice video. I just want to add on the things you said around the 3:00 mark. A long telephoto lens has the effect of flattening out perspective making the relative distance between objects seem smaller or less noticeable than say a wide angle lens, because of the fact that you will be farther away from the subject. (approaching isometric perspective as convergences become less noticeable) a telephoto lens will have a larger focal distance which in turn means closer objects are out of focus( the depth of field is more shallow meaning the space in which things are in focus is quite small. with a tele lens, things in front and in the bg will noticeable blurry as relative distance increases). (Bokeh is mostly affected by aperture and the way the lens is built as I am refreshing my knowledge) So for some style of portraits I see photographers use more wide angle ( not always ofc) lenses as it emphasises size difference and depth of a scene. ( it will make a face look slimmer but the features are emphasised ) a very strong (long) telephoto lens will create flatter less flattering (subjective) faces that will appear more wide. Telephoto is also popular as you can keep some distance and not be right in their face The basic principle for blur is the aperture and focal length and depth of field A smaller aperture will only allow for light that is more parallel to each other to enter and will achieve higher depth of field ( more sharpness in the depth. everyone can try this effect out for themselves if they have less than perfect or sharp vision: form a small hole with your index finger and look through it at something like text notice how it appears crisper and sharper and slightly magnified: that is the result of physics. the small hole or aperture only allows for light that is more parallel to enter thus forcing a larger depth of field (distance from which things are in focus) a wider aperture ( and a wider lens) will allow for more angled light to enter which will result in smaller depth of field and focal length , resulting in a more dramatic representation of relative distance of objects and blurry backgrounds. These are my two cents I really appreciate your work; as an illustrator who just got into animation

[@jessedrawss]

This is amazing... I really need this ... Thank you ...

[@yuri_nori]

This year I would like to improve on drawing background and this video is a massive help for me!

[@navneetrout8193]

You're a blessing to me. Thank you sir.

[@MoikaloopTV]

Your videos are of tremendous value. Happy to become a Patreon!

[@jshxlot]

Thankyou for this! I hope you could create a animation course soon :))

[@mbpaiva]

[@natalieedenranada8551]

Im learning so much from you!! thank you!!! Perspective and matching it with the characters have been one of my weak points and this helps a lot!

[@omargallardoarc]

[@ENKAI8]

[@ethan37066]

Never expected to learn how to draw anime from a cowboy, not that I am complaining.

[@philip4658]

Thank you very much for your priceless tips!

[@m7mestre18]

Incrível simplesmente Incrível

[@maple-uq6hx]

hey dong. i thought a good idea for a video would be you animating on flipaclip but with only ur fingers

[@kkadoo]

Tips on shading in the way you do for storyboards? I like how clean and simplified it looks.

[@lakshbaddi5113]

I hope it will be used in future

[@Yoffuu]

What burshes do you use for sketching? I love the look of that sketching brush.

[@drawnsequence]

Hi Dong, can I bother you to ask which videos on clipstudio are the most informative for cel setup? I know how to make a scene and cel template but I'm not sure how the professionals utilize the colors or layering to be efficient. I'm classically trained in animation (in Canada) too but would love to see a video on studio processes using Clip to handle the revision process, and keeping folders/layers organized.

[@majnoon.studio]

thank you sensei 🙏

[@mitsukiyouko]

Hi Dong! Thanks for your awesome videos!! would you consider doing a video or video series on how to do post production special effects? that is where a lot of the magic happens as well from what i hear but its super hard to find anything detailed on that process... thanks!

[@audaykun8328]

Love your videos

[@isfunart]

Zamn nice tips

[@زارا-ش7ض]

thank you 😭😭💗💗

[@nef36]

Normally love the content, great stuff, great stuff, but at around 0:20 your mic is peaking in the highs (like, very, very highs) and I can feel the sound in my throat. Don't know if it happens anywhere else bc I havent watched the rest of the video. Edit: watched the whole video and it felt like I had razors in the base of my skull the whole time. Great video though.

[@jue1811]

enlightment😍😍😍😍thamk you

[@wook5652]

Hi can i ask something?? in previous video you mentioned you moved japan before get hired in animation studio, and you said someone who want to get a job in japanimation industry must go to japan first. But When your seeking job period, what kind of visa did you got? travel visa? And how did you live with gengaman’s sallery in tokyo (I assume rent is almost half of monthly income, isn’t it? ) when you were newcomer..?? I’m korean who have 1year assistant directing (tv animation) experience and short genga experience(indipendant film and subcontract of american animation) in animation job, who have 1 short film(i drawed all, 8 minute) and jlpt1. i hope working in japanimation industry so I am plannig to get working holliday visa to seeking job in japan, but have no information about process of foreiner get hired in studio of japan. this is why i asking you with bit of a rude question, i apolosize. but i really need information.

[@A_itsar]

Do you have a video about lineart? Like thickness and stuff

[@miksy_lame]

Thks for tutoring… i still don't understand lowkey complicated lol

[@InfusoDmoe]

Do you know how to use 3d background (animated with camera movements) to make 2d animation on it ? I’ve made a forest on blender but now I don’t know how to make the rough animation over that, only by pre-render the cgi forest movie and then import to clip studio but I think that has to be a “better way” to do it

[@woodennickel7330]

Olof Storm is a youtube channel that does 3d to/with 2d workflow. Might give some ideas.

[@MrMarkellwayne]

Dong you're a legend, do you have a full-on course we can purchase for beginners.

[@dariuschoo8495]

^ These videos are some of the best tutorials I've seen, feels weird we're getting them pretty much for free. 100% would buy a course if he made one!

[@maxterminatehole2086]

doing key exam here. The supervisor advice me to learn eye level.i didnt get the genga artist promotion.. ; u ;)

[@justdraw4108]

hey can you please make a video on drawing clean

[@ryanmatthews3609]

[@OscarTorresWork]

Great video as always, have you abandoned Opentoonz?

[@mystwalker479]

Even the statue of liberty uses filters

[@Rone3889]

Name of bgm?

[@yozodiak]

Oy oy

[@AsylumLunatic-ig5jh]

Not sure in what studio your drawings will have a pass. But in major north American ones, all lines closed.
