MAKING AN ANIMATION IN 5 DAYS

[@the_fast_and_the_curious_]

i can’t believe how a human can just make an animation in one week. it takes me 5,000 years. I also remember seeing the animation for the earth quake one day when i was scrolling on yt shorts! edit: guys i know that animation time varies on the length and type of person. i’m just talking about my own experiences with animation /nbr

[@DaviRed_]

It really just depends on the length and complexity of the animation. Like, I can do an animation in a few hours, but I'm still learning so my animation are mostly walking/jumping cycle or head turns of a few seconds

[@LegendofKal]

I made an idle pose for a character that was something of a 12 frame loop in a couple hours. I've never animated before that, so I don't really know if that's fast or slow.

[@abazaba2222]

i have made a decent animation in one sitting

For earthquakes, you get under the nearest sturdy table or desk and stay away from bookcases, chandeliers, and anything else that may fall and wait it out.

[@noddle4649]

Not under it, next to it. İf you are under a table, something falling on it would fall on you as well but if you were next to the legs of the table then if something falls on the table and breaks it, there would be an empty space between the legs, the floor and either the top of the table or whatever fell on it, in the shape of a triangle. English is not my first language so i hope this made sense

[@TheCatsLibrary_1]

@@noddle4649 That sounds right.

[@baintreachas]

⁠@@noddle4649well, according to the CDC, “COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands”. If you could find a source for your claim that you shouldn’t do that, I’d be interested (even if only accessible via Google Translate).

[@somethingclever5]

@@noddle4649 Actually, this “triangle of life” advice is incorrect, it is based on several incorrect assumptions and comes from a chain email that has been thoroughly debunked by rescuers and experts. You are more reliably safe underneath a sturdy table than you are next to it.

I live in Washington and we get so many tremors I’m not even shocked anymore 😂

[@acluelessstar]

as an animator, thank you for showing non-animators how a short like this takes an actual full week (and usually more HAHA) i always know in the back of my head that a lot of people won't appreciate or even comprehend the hours that go into an animation, even a youtube short, so thank you!!

[@mushokunoshojou]

Fr! I had an assignment where I had to make a subject (animal/person) walk then run, and boy it took me days. It wasn't even smooth and the anatomy was kind of wack but the deadline was really tight so I had to really rush it. The video ended up only being 6 seconds....

[@acluelessstar]

@@mushokunoshojou THIS :'D its a struggle out here

[@skincrawlbaby]

as someone just starting out and self teaching..it is very eye opening and i fully commend existing animators 🙌🏻

[@paula_gio]

There is a way to use a bucket tool in regular Procreate (although it's not named that)! In the selection part, along with the lasso ("freehand") and square/circular selection options, there's "automatic selection", I think it's the one on the furthest left. You just get that one and click on where you want to color, then click on the little bucket named "color fill" and voilà (if I got any names wrong I apologize, I'm translating them from Portuguese into English). You can select everything before clicking color, or click color and then go selecting all the parts. I also don't like color drop cause I feel like it messes with the colors close to it, idk if that's just me. Anyways hope this helps!

[@LavenderTowne]

OMG THANK YOU

[@tycathedrawer]

@@LavenderTowneI think you could also just grab the little colour blob thing, drag it to where you want to colour, and hold it until the colour threshold pops up, then you can drag left or right to adjust how much the fill is kinda. After you let go there’ll be a button called continue filling with recolour and if you press that you can just tap on parts of the drawing and it’ll just fill it in for you

[@laughsingay]

@@LavenderTowneThis is only in Procreate, and I think this is fairly new, but now if you color drop a little text box will appear towards the top of the screen that says "continue filling," and after clicking that you can just tap on different areas to color them. Also if you drag and drop the color and don't take your pen off, a blue line will appear at the top, and if you drag it left and right it adjusts how much it fills. This cannot make the color drop ignore full on gaps but it does help a tremendous amount.

I’ve been meaning to use Procreate Dreams and I would use it much more often for my animations if it had a liquify, select, and transform tool.

[@9ightdreamer]

Yeah! I feel like I might wait until its added or an alternative is found/added -

[@nikkim7038]

get toonsquid then it has good selection tolls (sadly it has no liquify but the mesh transform does the job)

[@doodleedoo]

As a person living in a heavy earthquake region, how relaxed you were in that video was so interesting to me In natural disasters like that people should act like that and not Immediately panic

[@LabraDoodleDraws]

For us who don’t live in a place with earthquakes, we panic because the only exposure we get to it is “OMG WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE CAUSE THE WHOLE BUILDING WILL FALL ON US!!” We get like 1 drill in school on what to do a year. It’s like how people in Tornado Valley are chill and just sit and watch it rampage, and we all think their crazy

[@drongobrat6471]

my issues with procreate dreams: no lasso tool/transform tools when you're zoomed out the brush strokes become blurry and also their size changes You can't customize your brushes within the app if you group a bunch of frames and then move them, and then ungroup them, the frames move back to where they were before you moved it. after undo-ing a couple times in a row, it starts to group the undo's and you'll end up losing like 10 strokes with every tap instead of one.

[@dobubby4954]

[@beaniegorll2759]

Ah , always nice to see another video related to animation!Love your work Haley ! you’re an inspiration!

[@DoodleDrabble]

Procreate dreams not having a lasso tool is one of the main reasons I can’t seem to grasp it. I just use it to make higher quality drawings. I hope they add it in the near future. // This is really good for a week. Not only did you color it in but also added props and backgrounds?? That’s really great.

[@JulieCreatesArt]

Yeah, I’m waiting for the next update, which is going to be a lot, considering their last update says it’s a ‘compatibility update for everything new coming your way.’

Honestly your channel is one of the best. You don't shout or act weird, the effort you put into your art is incredible, you give good tips and reviews like this so people don't waste their money and most of all you are talented. ❤❤❤

[@lazyartist1984]

It's awesome you were able to do this in five days. Usually when i try to animate a long video, I get carried away way too easily and I don't plan ahead of time. I just do it. And it never gets done that way XD I thought the earthquake animation was super cute when I saw it tbh

[@Easily-bored5]

I love ur drawing style❤

[@nina20044]

Thanks for this video! I bought procreate dreams a few months ago expecting it to be amazing bc i love procreate. But tbh when i used it it was very bare bones without some of the most basic tools like quick-shape and lasso tools, hopefully they keep improving it!

Loved the video and animation! Also for the Procreate colour drop tool if you drag your colour over to where you want it to be then instead of just dropping it hold it, and for the annoying white gap between your colour and line art drag it slightly to the right :)

no way did she just animated 20 seconds, fully coloured, fully animated... IN 5 DAYS ???????????? WHAT

[@Alvinnew52]

In procreate, when you color drop or use the automatic select option, there’s a (blue?) bar that appears on the top of the screen with a percentage on it? You can drag it to the left or right and that will increase/decrease the.. idk, density? or size? The further you drag it up, the more little white spaces between the colors/select and the lineart will be filled! It’s not exactly super amazing but it is really helpful! And the animation is beautiful as always! :)

[@lwilso9152]

I have the same critiques for Procreate Dreams as you. I think it’s meant to make animation more accessible to students or amateurs rather than replace professional animation tools like ToonBoom. (To be fair, even the professional grade tools can be glitchy and crash every once in a while) But the fact that it can even compete on this level with as many missing features is still kind of amazing. Like, if you’re a pro, you’re still going to be able to make a really dope looking animation with it, even it’s tedious to use.

[@ohhhhdear]

the lack of selection tool is SO ANNOYING!!! i have only done one 2D animation in dreams and it was so frustrating to work with because i only wanted to move small parts. i ended up having to duplicate an entire layer, erase everything around it, and combine it down OR duplicating a key frame and then tracing whatever aspect if I wanted it to be in a different spot but look the same. very frustrating and it took up an annoying amount of time. i was also upset there was no alpha lock? i like to sketch in a color instead of black and i couldn’t change it so everything was purple and some parts were blue 😭

[@Sunf1ower_e4tsdirt]

Lavendertowne, you won't see this comment in a sea of others, but I am inspired by all of your videos and I'm going to start animation and digital art! This comment has probably been said so many times, but I do mean it. So, thank you, Lavendertowne!!

[@BlackMew13]

Love the look of the finished animation! And ProCreate Dreams seems like it could be a nice animation programm if they polish it some more and add some essential feature to it I'll keep an eye on it and maybe get it in the future ^^

[@daisukiart]

I feel it with the different pieces - to take each detail in seperate layers is much better for dreams to get more controll of the animations sequences

[@telosnium]

THE WAY I GOT THIS RECOMMENDED RIGHT AS I WAS TRYING OUT ANIMATATING FOR THE FIRST TIME

[@deerfoxthunderteam1649]

Its funny how many people have different descriptions of how an earthquake feels. You describe it as liquid-like, some say its like the ocean, and I say that it feels like the ground is coming to life. I think it depends on past experiences that shape your worldview.

How are you so calm (I literally can't be talking I've never experienced an earthquake in my left)

[@herded_won4882]

for fill tool you dont have to do it on the lines, you can use "reference" option on the lineart tab, and below it automatically acts as a fill tool

[@Soda_bomb1]

Hi lavendertowne! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and you’ve inspired SO MUCH throughout the past 3 years!! Your art is amazing and it blows my mind that you can make an animation in only a week! ❤

[@ChibiRandom13]

I use procreate on my ipad and I've found it to be the easiest program I've ever used (also i think regular procreate has an animation tool?) But I always had trouble with other forms of digital art, and I think everyone has their own preferences, which is why I don't truly think there's a "perfect" art program at all.

[@cleanbeanArt]

As someone who just finished a 3 month project in Procreate Dreams, I have *thoughts*. Because of the lack of a lasso tool, I find that doing the art in Procreate just works better for now, especially because you can drag layers or even whole procreate projects into a track on Dreams . I mostly use Dreams for key framing (pan, zoom, dolly camera) and animating masking layers. The preform mode is also great, but it takes a lot of practice. Mostly, I think that Dreams is a great companion app to Procreate, but needs more work. Devs have said that lasso is their top priority, so I hope that the rest of the wrinkles will get ironed out eventually.

[@Phoenix-jp6lv]

wooahh o_0 idk how you manage to make an animation so quickly!! but it looks awesome!!

[@PandaProhibited]

So heads up on the fill options in procreate. When you are dragging in your color hold still for a few seconds over the area you want to drop it in. This will enable you to scan your apple pencil left and right to decrease or increase the fill amount.
