Would Love To See Ninja Turtle Pixels!

So I went to Paris a couple of weeks ago to lecture at the Gobelins school. Great animation school, super talented kids! This is the animation demo I did for the class.

Gotta a little time, little time to get things over 🎵🎶 #wip #poisonivy #sketch #sketchbookpro #drawing #fanart #characterdesign #conceptart

Piskel - free tool to create pixel art and animated sprites

(additional pixel art tools and tutorials can be found on pixelartus)

Quick sketch for fun.

Hi! I was wondering what program you use to make your animations. I would like to make some myself. If you could do a tutorial it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there!  I use TV Paint for all my animations.  I don’t consider myself an expert of animation or TV Paint, but Toniko is a very talented animator with great tutorial videos- I recommend you check out his site.  Good luck with your animating! :)

Tutorial - Part 2 by ggabimelo

I'm a student putting together a storyboard portfolio to show to animation studios. What types of sequences do studios like to see?

I’m gonna be honest, every studio is different. I’ve had reviews from people who work in the same studios, back to back, each asking for completely different things. Generally, it’s about what your passion is. Are you a comedy boarder? Action? Drama? Play up your strengths. Don’t flipflop to match what one particular studio wants. If they see the quality and vision in your work, they’re going to want you regardless of whether or not it fits their current projects. You’re an investment. When they look at you and see what you can do, they’re not thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for what we’re doing RIGHT NOW”, because often times what they’re doing currently means it’s too late to bring you on. They’re going to be thinking “OH wow, they’re perfect for that project that’s JUST starting to gain traction.”So, aside from just doing what you love and playing up your strengths, think about presentation. It’s a matter of A) Presenting your boards in a grid format (say 4x3), or B) as a Clickthru. Clickthrus, in my experience, get the best reception. It allows the reviewer to take in each image one at a time, and see the connection between the panels.Generally, I’ve had TV folk tell me they are fine with Grid format, and Film folk ONLY want Clickthru. This is not a rule, by any means, but maybe it’ll help you depending on where you’re looking to apply.

Good luck!

Intober day 10: don't be afraid to use that new sketchbook! First drawing on my #moleskine that I have since forever... #inktober #inktober2016 #art #drawinggirl #drawing #traditionalart #inking #girlsinanimation
