Walt Disney’s Tips on Animation | “This book was sold at the ‘Art Corner’ in Tomorrowland at Disneyland to introduce the basic concepts and drawing techniques of Disney character animation.” (x)

CLOSING THOUGHTS

- Start small. - Make mistakes and try new things.  - Practice as much as possible. - Share your work with others and get feedback. - Study the work of the artists whom you admire. - If you don’t have a tablet, get one. Small ones are cheap and easy to carry around. - Have fun!

Dearest Kisu, the characters you draw are always full of like and dynamic! Do you have any tips to draw more dynamic characters/poses ? I love your art so much, you're such an inspiration to me

1. The action line:

It’s a line that you use when you create the posing that will help you translate a strenght/ an intention and  give “a direction” to the body.

2. Perspective

It can help making a posing more dynamic if you vary angles, perspective and directions

3. Don’t be shy, exaggerate!

That’s how you really can translate mouvements through drawings!

4. Try to avoid “mirrorl” stuff.

It works very well when you want to do artistic stuff (like tarot card aesthetics) but not so much when you want it to look lively.

(Making hair and clothes flow help a lot too hahaha)

5. Try to do “one stroke” line so it doesn’t “break” the mouvement 

*dies slowly since there's no way to send an anon message* Would it be a bother if I asked how you make your sprites? ((Or whoever makes them, sorry!)) they look amazing and I'm really curious by the style!

Aww, thank you! It’s not a bother at all! I do the same process I use for my non-pixel art drawings: I sketch something, then I do the lineart using only one color, then I paint the drawing using flat colors, after that I add the shadows and the lights, and then I recolor the lineart so the lines blend better:

I’m pretty amateur with pixel art, so I only know a few things, but one of the most important things to consider is to avoid messy/jagged lines, here’s an example from this thread:

Also, one of the best pixel art tutorials in my opinion would be this one. There are a lot of tips on how to properly shade sprites in order to avoid “pillow shading” and bland color palettes.

I made you the most beautiful tutorial ever >.> (click the images to read my writing legibly lol) WARNING: YOU CANNOT EDIT YOUR TEXT ONCE YOU DO THIS; SAVE YOUR DEFAULT TEXT LAYER JUST INCASE!

Sheridan animation: international student stuff

i’ve been getting quite a few asks re:sheridan animation as an international student, so to save future askers/myself time i thought i’d just make a post to refer people to (in addition to this portfolio thing from a while ago that’s probably outdated now)

of course not everything here might be accurate so definitely double check !!
