I watched a video on how to draw clouds for the first time about 8 years ago, after finding it through some strange website. Since then, I graduated from university, got married, and found a job as a 2D animator. I've been watching your channel ever since and I see that you're still releasing great tutorials. Thank you!

[@Mclelun]

Glad I could help!

[@orenjikunArt]

fantastic! thank you for sharing, do you have any videos on simulating lens flare effects? The shot with the birds near the end is beautiful!

[@Mclelun]

It is actually just a lens flare image composite on top of the scene. Maybe I can do one quick tutorial in the future

[@ElRotura]

An absolute perfect work from an amazing artist! McLelun, you are the best inspiration in this kind of works :)

Super ❤ from India 🇮🇳

[@jefflau146]

So cool! I like your animation! Do you have any tutorial about lens flare in After Effects? :)

[@Mclelun]

Not yet, maybe in the future. I am just using a lens flare image. But I remember seeing a screenshot Makoto Shinkai is using the optical flare plugin from videocopilot

[@jefflau146]

@@Mclelun Yeah I really want to learn how to create Makoto Shinkai style animation in Photoshop then After Effects. Your PS skills are really good and I hope to learn AE animation skills as well. Looking forward!! :D

[@setermd]

Wait you are doing it manually?! I was sure you are just gonna use 3d layer since it does parallax movement for you and you don't have to animate each layer but good job!

[@Mclelun]

Yes, you can use 3d to arrange the layers in 3d space

[@gero8084]

You are the best

[@Mclelun]

Thanks alot!

[@donbomBL]

I would also remember how to do this effect with the sun peeking out 🙀

[@Mclelun]

Np. I will consider making one in the future

[@duwiii420]

bro's intro is the lick 😂

[@torrellwright6144]

please can you do a anime forest path

[@nepalgamingnp9452]

Nice river water sparkling effect tutorial ple😢

[@Mclelun]

Ok maybe next one

[@nholmes86]

would it be easier to do in blender?

[@Mclelun]

Probably. Import the layers as texture plane and arrange them in 3d space
