MY ANIMATION PROCESS // Quadruped Walk Cycles in Procreate

[@hobbitsdosucesso4704]

As someone who wants to get into animation but its terrified of animating, this was super helpful Thank you

[@shantcheetah]

hobbits do sucesso completely agree, just seeing her animate gives me confidence

[@WarriorTheGecko]

I recommend you do! It's really fun, and you can animate just about anything.

[@arryacc]

OK I have one observation. The head and ear are bouncing a bit too much for the calm walk. Looks like he is jamming to music or something. Looks amazing but something I thought I would point out if it helps you.

[@karacar5473]

I also felt like something was off, I agree with your statement

[@sillycheese301]

Jamming to music lol

[@stellal5427]

I think based off of the video of the sheep where she lives, I think thats how some of them just walk cause I saw one in the video walk like he was listening to them tunes and just having a good time

[@vantavarmint8212]

Yeah, the sheep in the video have completely static heads, the way the head moves in this is more akin to that of a horse

[@crystalheartssystem2357]

It looks almost rag doll ish, as if it’s tired and cannot bother to hold its head steady.

[@cookiedraw8173]

the back legs are amazing but the front legs have a little something that don't work... I can't find what but something is missing

[@wherearetheturts]

Cookie •Draw• I think it’s the front left leg, it doesn’t straighten out when the hoof reaches the floor, making it look like the sheep has a bit of a limp. But I think it’s beautiful and unique with it!

[@shantcheetah]

Wow :O im trying to master walking animations at the moment

[@eggonbread7054]

When I animate cats, I usually have them look like black blobs of void with some big ol’ eyes. I’m sure most people have seen the old painting of a tiny black cat that looked very uncomfortable

[@oldaccount420]

your talent is astonishing.

[@sisselpedersen9828]

Sheep are my absolute favorite animal, so this literally made my day :’)))

[@ximenaflores2013]

I just wanted to say that you inspire me so much. I’m working on my portfolio for art school and your videos are really helpful

[@wellgrilledtoast]

I’d say the front left leg should get straight sooner (English isn’t my first language so I don’t really know how to be clearer), however I love its design and colours this is great and will definitely help me in my following animations!

[@dansbeats6188]

I am always overwhelmed by how great your videos are. Definitely one of my favourite youtube channels, keep it up!! :)

[@ConnahDixon]

Animation has been an aspect of my degree that I have feared, its not one of my modules because im on a joint course, but I want to learn it and seeing your process really helps me relax on this topic, it even helped me consider the first draft my animation! I sent it on instagram, under the same name as my youtube. Thank you for being such an amazing creative channel.

[@tealeaf65]

I love you, and these tutorials are amazing ( i count streams too), i ve wanted them for so long. Animation is lovely, but the sheep walks kinda like in the swamp, where its really hard to go because of the sticky mud, you know, but omg it still looks amazing

[@rivasnuria2158]

This was so interesting! The result looks awesome, good job! 💞💞💞

[@anzolomyer4584]

True artist.

[@cartouche_]

Your animation is so crisp! I really enjoyed watching this video :) I'd love to see more of your animation process in the future!

[@NikoleTheAnimator]

I've been slowly learning to use Procreate for animation and I can't believe that I didn't know until this video that you can change the onion skin colors?! That awesome!!! I really love getting to see your 2D animation process. My animation program that I'm going through is highly lacking any 2D classes, and this video is really helping me understand the 2D process.

[@Can_of_L]

Why do the sheeps have numbers on them?

[@tanzeelala]

so that people can count them and fall asleep

[@AloeWing]

This is why I think they have numbers. If you haven’t noticed the lambs have numbers that match an ewe, I think it was to keep track of who’s lambs who’s

[@eemmaa_]

I'm pretty sure its just a different way of branding sheep

[@Meppity]

So the babies and their mamas can get matched, preventing them from accidentally getting separated when being transported. That and also, its easier to know which families are older/newer so they start grazing at the right time etc.

[@Can_of_L]

Meppity oh okay thank you

[@spiderboy6150]

I love seeing your process, your commentary is very charming

[@BlakLotus]

Looks SHAMAZING.

[@lykhq496]

i was waiting for new upload from the last stream you did . keep going 👍 . and i have to say i like the demonstration of the analysis procedure and the approach you took . waiting for the next vid. 😁👍

[@lactocide]

thank you so much for showing your process and explaining it through this was super helpful!!!

[@ruthb9803]

Hello, love your videos! I was wondering though, what do your layers look like at the end of the animation? With apps like Adobe animate, you can have separate layers on the same timeline, but how do you control the layers (like the skeleton and what's on top) when you animate? I can't figure it out on procreate.

[@Meppity]

Anything in the same group will appear at the same time - this can be useful for lineart, colour, undersketches (like the skeleton) or entirely desperate parts. It’s not as robust as actual animation software but certainly is helpful!

[@vicenterasteiro7556]

You should totally do a collab with LavenderTowne, don't you think??? You two, are like my favourite art KZbinrs in the world!!!

[@itssarah3573]

Please do more videos like this!

[@natalieha2171]

you're so talented!!!!!

[@thebuinks8968]

Pretty cool :D

[@alyssaww331]

Oh wow that’s really good animation

[@leilalily]

Is there a reason why you drew the Skelton first? Does it help with joints?

[@or1297]

Thank you so much! for an animation student like me it was very insightful and inspiring 😍

[@amritpalhh9836]

That’s amazing

[@maellyr527]

This is so cute

[@J4N15c]

This is so beautiful

[@gabbygrube]

You are just awesome

[@cardquest2118]

Jealousss I’m just getting the hang of animating bipedal animals like us 😩

[@princesslegarreta913]

Es hermosa.😻🐑

[@okthatsfine694]

Meppitalking

[@allanpaul7747]

what size canvas you use? and how when you upload an animation the quality doesn’t get affected?

[@chahlie.]

How do you find such amazing references like that? I can barely find anything worth my time on Pinterest, which is where I go and usually find an abundance of references

[@betsycabello6507]

What's the program to study animation?

[@epictom3423]

Epic

[@cherrierosal5302]

What do you use to animate? (Btw i'm new here!)

[@meowmeow6175]

YEEEES

[@wellgrilledtoast]

By the way, do you have anyone called Pickens in your class? My friend’s brother is studying at Calarts so I was wondering haha.

[@niellahviard8973]

What animation app do u use ???

[@Meppity]

It’s literally in the description, mentioned in the video and IN THE TITLE 😂😂

[@blehmeh2566]

Dude.. I fucking.. 😂😂

[@theremycrocks6861]

I normally just draw animals but lately I’ve been trying to learn people and I tried animating it and oooh man I did not like it, maybe I should give it a go again.

[@coofeuwu8567]

I wish I would go to calarts and earn those amazing skills! But I'm from Europe so even if I ever get accepted I wouldn't go :(

[@andpeggy274]

Why wouldn’t you go? Do you have to study in Europe? I know Calarts accepts international students. Just curious, I don’t mean to be offensive!

[@lennox3915]

@@andpeggy274 I’m not op, but I’m also from Europe and would love to study somewhere like calarts but like op, I’d never go. Studying in America is crazy expensive compared to most of Europe - a lot of European countries have free universities and the ones that dont have much more secure loans systems (you can’t really go into student debt the same way you can in the us), that’s the main thing that stops me from ever studying in the us

[@MikazakiAoi]

The part about covering up the mistakes with the bushy fur is how I felt about doing my first hedgehog animation 🤣

[@BevvyIsTheBest]

Helloooo
