TVPaint Tutorial for Beginners

[@tomgregg2578]

This helped me a lot. I am a retired senior citizen , taking courses at a local college . I was a cameraman all my life and barely learned photoshop basics at the end of my career. I always day dreamed of doing cartoons and tv paint is the program I chose. It seemed so layered and complex I could not get to first base. This video really helps me see how to do primitive ideas and get started. Thank you so much.

[@imsmallfry]

I am so happy to help!! Thank you for watching and I am so excited to see what you create, if you post anything on KZbin I would love to see it! Have fun with TVP!! ❤️

[@BinaryDood]

this is the cutest tutorial I have seen

[@imsmallfry]

Awh this warms my heart! Thank you!

[@BinaryDood]

@@imsmallfry wasn't expecting you responding! Since you did I will give you this hint, try holding CTRL while drawing in the timeline in TvPaint! See what happens

[@alexwood9219]

im using TVPaint for an animation class this upcoming school semester. Learning remote can feel isolating so your videos have been a HUGE help as I learn something new in an unconventional time for learning.

[@imsmallfry]

I’m so happy to hear I’ve helped!!! I hope you really enjoy your class, I’d love to see any projects you complete with TVP!

[@16JPE]

Wow who knew that pitch meeting would prepare me for dongle in this way.

[@camochii]

THANM YOU SO MUCH, I’m going to an animation workshop next week in France and I haven’t spoken French in a while so I wanted to be prepared to get to know the program instead of not understanding the prof speaking French explaining the program anyways yeah thanks a lot I learned about the texture/colour layer thing and omg u changed my life, I used to just colour on a layer underneath without being able to fill it 😭

[@realkabecio]

You have a great teaching style! - clear, concise, methodical -yet w/ a really happy feeling. It is so easy to learn from you! Thank you so much! I have previously been struggling and slogging through trying to consolidate some very fuzzy knowledge gleaned from the manual, other tutorials and a dizzying array of forums until I came across your great straight shooting and joyful tutorial. YAAAAAY!

[@PatrickChapmanuk]

Probably one of the best beginner tutorials Ive listened too for this application. Very well presented and easy to follow, thanks.

[@sniffxy]

This looks much easier than Adobe animate, I might use it

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

There's pros and cons to both programs. Coloring is 1000 times faster in TVpaint. Doing finished line art is more convenient in adobe animate, since you can resize and adjust without losing line quality since adobe is vector.

[@joelle8372]

Thank you so much for this short tutorial! Been searching for a suitable animation program for months now and it seems like TVpaint is the one after this and testing it out as well.

[@Sillyyyyy]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! All the other tutorials where SUPER long and I didn't have enough patience to sit through 45 minutes of a boring tutorial, but this was so much fun to watch!

[@imsmallfry]

I'm so glad that I could help and entertain! I have trouble keeping focused for long tutorials too, but if the person seems excited about the work it's much better for me, so I tried to make this video as light and fun as possible :D

[@beepboopygjm1767]

I know this video has been here a while, but I still want to thank you for this! This lessens the overwhelming feeling of trying out a new software!

[@haru9369]

Thank you! you taught everything we need to know to start in a short compact video

[@FarzadBayan]

Your style of teaching is so great, I really enjoyed watching this video! Thank you so much.

[@imsmallfry]

Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to say!! I’m so glad you liked the video!

[@eldricksartbox]

This is an excellent tutorial! I've been using tv paint for some time and this video taught me things that I missed or never learned. I will definitely show this to other people that want to learn tv paint. Looking forward to more tutorials! :D

[@DreamingofRedheads]

Oh thank God I finally found a tutorial for animation tvpaint that's easy for me to understand thank you smallfry

[@imsmallfry]

nice vid! I like your candor, "I don't know what that button does, I never use it". (something to that effect). Nice pacing, too.

[@imsmallfry]

I didn’t figure it out for a while too! I think it’s one of the more recent additions- I didn’t know about it until 2016

This is super helpful! Thank you so much, i'm thinking about getting TVpaint & I have a question. Does the creation pack come with the animation feature? The site was a little unclear and I just needed a little clarity before making a purchase! Thanks

[@imsmallfry]

soggy toes I’m glad you found it helpful! I don’t have the creation pack but it seems to me that it’s just an expansion pack and doesn’t contain the entire animation program, but does contain some brushes, color pickers and other add-ons for the program. I hope that helps!

[@ivaekmecic6867]

@@imsmallfry thank you so much! I'm so dumb because it says that in the title. So glad that I didnt buy that instead of the standard edition :o Thank you again!

[@巴德尔乎]

很棒的教程！

[@sofias.sketchbook]

Hi, this was so so helpful! What dongle brand do you have or what do you recommend beginners to purchase?

[@Littlevampiregirl100]

thanks, learned a lot. a question though, what would the difference be between creating a duplicate layer to bucketfill with color, then merge, instead of just bucketfilling the current layer as it is? i cant figure out the difference of that

[@imsmallfry]

Hi!! The reason I do this is because sometimes I think I'm done with the lineart but later I want to go back and change some things, having only a merged layer makes it so I have to erase the coloring as well as the lineart. If this were a big project I'd have left them separate for a longer period of time but since it's a simple 1-2 second clip I just merged them right away. It's more of a personal preference than a rule but it's saved me a headache or two lol!

[@thomasfurlano9106]

smallfry thank you much. can you explain or express how to follow on tvpaint animation pro 10. this was great.
