PAPERLESS - CLEAN UP SECRETS! (not really) (Harmony 17)

[@gregorywayne585]

I have ADHD and something about the way you make these tutorials is really relatable to me and keeps me focused

[@ZeBirdBrain]

E v e r y. o. n e. in my close family (brother-cousins ect) is diagnosed ADHD. I am not diagnozed, because the diagnose is expensive, and since I always ''managed'' (out of survival! AHDH Diagnosis were not a big thing/as trendy when I was in school years ago...) ... and never ''needed'' an official paper... but yeah... let's say I know my way around it! I'm very happy you noticed this cuz I made them kinda specifically for people similar to us? More neuro typical individuals are also going to enjoy them, but specifically for the individuals that might have less ease with constant focus: - I make my videos short (average 5 minutes, and big max 10 minutes) - I tilt the screen, and zoom, and add visual cues to break the monotony and ''reset'' the attention span every few seconds - Add visual and auditive cues to support every new idea and ''chapters'' in the video - Always announce first what the video will be about so your brain knows what is coming! And a bit more. This comes from teaching and working with childrens and adults for more than 10 years in a summer camp! We has a lot of ''classes'' and ''teaching'' about how to interract and share knowledge to people! SO THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know it actualy works!!!!!

@@ZeBirdBrain You'll be glad to know I've done two short term contracts doing Ink and Paint and I can thank your tutorial for showing me the ropes! Us ND's gotta stick together :)

​@@ZeBirdBrain this is awesome, I have ADHD too and this is so very helpful. I have an animation assignment coming up and your channel has been a godsend.

[@MizDawesome]

I didn't know sync layer could be used like that! That makes things so much easier

[@ZeBirdBrain]

NOw you knooooow!

[@Nemao]

Damn, this is now i got the time to watch this entierely and i really learned so much from it, great!

[@ZeBirdBrain]

:D

[@luminahox]

Thank you for your videos, I'm just learning Harmony and I'm mind blown by each features that you show honestly haha ! I feel like it's much easier to get beautiful lines quickly inside of Harmony than inside of clip studio paint and photoshop *-*

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Glad you like it !

[@Pedalinglover]

Your tips are really useful and they are actually being used in big studios. It's a boon for those who are still learning. great job on sharing these secrets. 👏👏

[@ZeBirdBrain]

I only teach Studio proof techniques !

[@Pedalinglover]

@@ZeBirdBrain Yes, i can see. It's great 👍

[@Wavorn100]

I've been using brush because I hated thay I had to go back and find what wasn't connecting but with the cutter and drawing method you do, I can draw the whole character including hair on one frame. Nice!

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Yeah!

[@planet_dawsey595]

This video totally made me have a “oooh” moment, I get it now! Thank you I’m not new to animation but I am new to harmony so it’s a little frustrating

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Glad to know!

[@felixgoetia]

Love these! Teaching myself this program but I wonder about coloring next with the color layer.

[@PilferpupCartoons]

I’m loving this video, i need so much practice with the cleanup phase, but at least now i have an idea how to start 🎉

[@ani_rena777]

Tus videos son muy utiles!!! Muchas gracias! ❤

These videos are great!! Thank you for making these! Those little control and alt tricks are so helpful

thanks!

[@firmansyahfthesign]

Thank you for posting Harmony tips here. It's really useful for me and my colleagues to learn more about how to use toon boom like the pros.

[@ZeBirdBrain]

My pleasure! Keep sharing with them! The more views the better the animation industry gets as a whole!!!

[@JinzouArt]

thank you so much! It's been I while that I've been searching how to smooth the pen strokes

[@TheJokingArsonist]

i gen love listening to you, and this was super helpful (know im late, but yknow. never too late to start learning lol)

[@princeanimations28]

Very Helpful! Much better than agonizing over the brush tool.

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Absolutely!

[@Zeruk]

watches the video after cleaning everything up,, but that pencil thing i had no idea about woww

[@Cannimation]

Merry Christmas and thanks for another great tut

[@ZeBirdBrain]

MErry christmas to you too! :) Don't forget to share it if you love it! :D

[@MichaelWilde3d]

Just wanted to say thanks so much for all your videos, they've taught me the basics of the software in a matter of days - super helpful :D

[@Sleep1ng_Panda]

this was really helpful!! thank you sk much!!

[@abbieananas]

Wow this is really helpful! I'm rubbish at drawing nice smooth lines so these tricks are game changing for me lol

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Happy to help!

[@nuomation]

The CTRL+ALT to close the line was GREAT I've been looking for that solution since the beginning of the year until now! Thanks a lot, and may I suggest using a recorder software that displays what keys are you pressing? something it is so fast that is hard to hear :)

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Glad it helped!

[@jakelevinson7802]

I’m very bad at cleaning up my drawings. This is very helpful.

Congratulations on 10k 🌸

[@ZeBirdBrain]

THANK YOU

[@DennisTamayo]

It will be good for cleaning the lines over the rough animation sketches drawn on paper with pencil, including my future projects for next year though 2024.

[@ZeBirdBrain]

great!

This video is a life saver

[@roxysevy]

Adorable birdie =D

[@andrewleyton6689]

one question when is a smart move do the clean up as separate layers and not just one? I seen people do that and I wonder when is convinient and when is not.

[@吴永军-y2z]

你好，我听不懂英语，所以想问一下，你在视频的11:48秒画脚时候按哪个键快速的把鼠标切换到三角形状的啊？然后你可以这样去调整线条的形状。

[@adaracsam]

when cleaning up traditional animation do you paint all different colors of the character on the same layer? or do you create layers for each color/item of clothing?

[@dianaprotasevich]

Thank you!

[@marianoacerbi9671]

Hello Marie, I got a question for u... is there any way that in a non-line type of animation (tradisional, not cut out), the line only appears when it overlaps with the same color? THANKS A LOT

[@ZeBirdBrain]

yes there is, it's called Revealing line technique ... might do a video about it someday

[@Setsaled]

cutter tool. best information. thank you

[@ZeBirdBrain]

You're welcome!

[@MrBongers]

Now 2.5 years later with Harmony 21 are there any new or improved tools that need to have an updated "Paperless Clean Up Secrets (Harmony 21)" ? Or have the tools used for Clean Up stayed exactly the same from Harmony 17 to 21 ?

[@ZeBirdBrain]

It is improved.. j d need to make a video haha

[@hadjustoart8195]

Hi! i have a question, the option of "pen setings" is not available in Harmony 16, right?

[@ZeBirdBrain]

I don't remember

[@liendoanimacion]

maravilloso video. muy buenos tips muchas gracias!

[@ZeBirdBrain]

de nada!

[@dylansawyer3446]

My pencil doesn’t have pressure sensitivity does anyone know why this is?

[@thefbi9297]

same for me, I think if you have toon boom essentials you can’t have line weight for the pencil tool unfortunately :(

[@tagnenjosephs3124]

When using the brush tool(for example), why does it automatically revert back to the pan tool when i for instance click ctrl+z? This issue is very time consuming. Is there anyway i can fix this?

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Never heard of it doing that... reach [e-mail], you re computer might have a bug

great tutorial. i notice your line tool is a customized line (slightly thin on both tips and slightly fat on the center). any tutorial video on that ?

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Yup! Search for Custom Pencil Texture!

[@mrvampire5492]

@@ZeBirdBrain thank you so much.

[@bucinto]

thank you very much for this class, Zee! My line tool is not so smooth as yours, it doesn have pressure variation like yours. What is wrong?

[@ZeBirdBrain]

Could be your tablet? and for your line tool to have thickness vriation, you need to use a stencil line

[@mjkop2446]

what's the tip press to cutter?

[@TripFontain]

@@ZeBirdBrain wow thanks 😃 and thanks your vuds are the best I've seen so far

[@greg6500]

I see you are cleaning up the whole drawing and not breaking it down into pieces. Is this more of a traditional approach or a step before breaking it down?

[@iambrett333]

Hm, those pencil tool Presets must be part of 17, im running 16 and not seeing them

[@DennisTamayo]

It's better than doing clean-up animation on paper.
