Well she did say she draws on an iPad.

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

@@OmniiTheDeer - some iPads have a stylus
The fact Zem doesn't even use one is even more impressive

[@OmniiTheDeer]

@@lazyperfectionist3978 I know, but keeping your hand clamped tightly on a stylus for a long time can hurt too you know. It's like writing a dictation with speedy writing.

[@cloudroyalty196]

@@OmniiTheDeer i was going to say this. When I draw with a pencil for too long , or just with my pen for my drawing tablet , my hands would feel like they were smashed with a keyboard

Did you all realize that he animates on an IPAD at that level.

[@scrufs]

A lot of artists uses an iPad nowadays lol, since the Apple Pencil is damn good.im an artist that uses it btw so experience lol

[@Le_en2510]

scrufs I have an iPad myself. I actually thought that he uses some expensive art equipment since he animates so well. This made me realize that it doesn’t matter what you use. Skill, talent and work are what really matter in the end of the day.

Tommorow I will really finish it

[@nareh7922]

I have a tip for color matching in Doink, in procreate, eyedrop the color you want and click the little circle with the color in it on the top right corner. Then go to “value” on the bottom. Next to the sliders, there should be a number. Then go into Doink and match the numbers next to the sliders. The colors might be off by a little so it takes some tweaking to get the right color but it’s soooo much faster :)

[@theanonartist7985]

i’m surprised that you do the basics in procreate and that you do it on a tablet i am just starting animation and i assumed that because you’re so good you’d use more “professional” apps

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

A pro usually knows how to make any app work for the job, especially if you spend enough time with it
hell, I still use MS Paint, and not many people know how to use that app professionally

[@televisiondebrian9816]

When will people understand that a good program is not needed for making good content? I mean, animators in the past didn't even had this basic tools. They used paper and pencils

[@poennichi2131]

I am so excited to see your process! As a prospective art student, your art never fails to make me inspired when I’m feeling burnt out. It’s absolutely beautiful, in terms of your cohesive color palette, unique concepts, and character design. I just need to glimpse at one frame of your animation and I can instantly read the tone and emotions of it! That’s amazing, and it testifies for the quality of your stuff! Thank you for sharing your art, and I’m very excited to see what you make in the future! :D

[@persononyt1909]

Haha door goes *BOOM* 😳

[@doinkaesthetics]

Your art style and character designs are some of the most beautiful things I've seen on the internet.

[@SeaForest]

I’m honestly so amazed how you animate everything on the iPad! I have one and I love it but I always saw really good animators using a tablet with a desktop computer, real professional, and I thought you did too... thank you for sharing this, I don’t have any excuse now to best use what I have !
