If you pay attention from 0:55 to 1:15, you can notice that the paper is torn away and then when the paper is put back together, they TAPE it back together. It's the little details here that make me enjoy the artwork so much more
My jaw dropped when we got to Streetlights. Every last one of these are amazing in their own way, but I honestly wasn't expecting the sheer variety and MASTERY of each. Brilliant work. Keep it up! 👍
Dear Lord, this is one of the most eye opening animation exercises I have seen for a very long time. Absolutely gorgeous. ♥ (0:40 Overcast and Sunset in particular look like something straight out of Klaus).
this the gray cartoon pony who made that amazing short film about an engineering student drinking water! Oh and the 2d animated short film about drawer apartments as well
Forest and street lights are both amazing in their own right. Really captured the feeling of the sun specks crawling out through trees, or that pulsing walk under bright lights in a dark place. But all the rest is still great work to, and kind of just fun with that little setup animation.
I am utterly astounded that these amazing shading tests were put in the context of some guy involving a test subject in a studio lighting rig. That’s awesome!
Not only were you able to perfectly show us all these different lighting techniques, but you also made these beautifully animated walk cycles! amazing quality bro, bravo!
My goodness, this is the one of the most creative and coolest animation exercises I have ever seen. I'll forever keep this video in my mind when studying different kinds of shading.
You got me to watch 28 different walk cycles with different lighting and shades. It looks so detailed and well made for a study. Also realize the 29th one at the end where they change was pretty neat too.
I always knew that shading in animation is important and adds to the atmosphere of a scene but actually seeing a demonstration for each of these different forms gives off a certain beauty that I just can't describe.
I am so extremely proud of the fact that you toned down the amount of frames. Not only it's easier to produce, now your animations look very natural while still smooth!!!
Freaking love all the takes on this, almost reminds me to the insane shading and lighting done for Who Frame Roger rabbit, it has that very good 3d look
the amount of effort on display here is insane. I am pained thinking about how long this probably took to make lol. every time I thought it had to be done it just kept going and impressing me more and more. At certain points it just becomes an experiment in colour and lineart too. You went above and beyond for this study and I have huge respect for that. Honestly I might come back to this video to help with my own animations if I ever feel like putting myself through shading lol, I think it would be a great tool for reference
The fukin anime refrences got me, I wasn't expecting them but it killed me how accurate they were, literally perfect representation of shading imo, and would likely end up used in so many future art classes (or at least it should) awesome work 😄
I never comment but this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on here. The whole thing is great but I especially love the split view allowing me to keep looking at one even after a new one pops up. Really great.
That was amazing. I loved that it included random styles like jjk and dbz, that got a real laugh out of me. This video needs to be archived as an important piece of internet information.
You are absolutely incredible. How you haven't reached even 20K subs is just baffling to me. You're the most skilled animator I think I've ever seen on TH-cam, hands-down.
This comment made me realize that OP has gained 20k+ subscribers in the weeks since you posted this (which is deserved and then some - they're incredibly skilled)!
Really am glad I stumbled across this channel when I did, you are an absolutely phenomenal artist and it is honestly a joy getting a notification that you uploaded another video. Please, keep creating these pieces of art, they really are amazing!
That was so nice to look at! It really helped me get to know some more styles to practice. And I enjoyed that it was just a slice of life cartoon all throughout. It was nice seeing something like that for a change in indie animation.
This is so beautifully animated, some lighting styles even look accurate to how it would look in 3D software. Me as 3D artist I basically get lighting mostly for free and just have to adjust some parameters and settings, but I cannot imagine how painful it must be to draw lighting by hand. I've made a short 3 second animation with lighting before once, using drawing. I don't think I'll do it again. LOL
There have only ever been a few people online who have inspired me to start genuinely pursuing art and animation. You, my friend, have just become one of them
This is one of the best educational animations I've watched in so long. I now know more about shadows than I did in highschool. Thank you oh wise one🙏🏽
Dude I love the art style and animation, it's so expressive! Every one of these animation studies you do (and just animations in general) amazes me, I really look forward to seeing more because I really love this stuff!
How the hell do you make such beautiful animations so quickly. I watch so many animators that take a whole year to make something only half as good as this.
I have a lot more free time than most people despite working a 40-hour/week full-time job, just because of my lifestyle :P I live alone, don't really do anything for entertainment or leisure, don't keep in touch or hang out with more than a couple people, and also get unhappy if I have to go even one day without producing some kind of tangible output. No plans on ever changing any of those things lol
@@SirloinBurgersHaving that kind of mindset while having this much talent, yet only having 40k subs is criminal to me. You will always be an inspiration to me and I hope you have success with whatever you choose to work on next.
@@theflaminggroundon632 I use Clip Studio Paint as of about nine months ago, before that I used Photoshop with a plugin installed to make the UI more animation-friendly.
This is amazing. I can't even tell if it's 2D, or 3D in some cases (or maybe just both), especially with the stylized shading techniques like the Comic and Bold ones!
@@SirloinBurgers That is legitimately so impressive, because I no joke thought that some of the transitions were 3D with how smoothly the light moved on the legs/arms!
This is by far the best video I’ve watched to help me with shading, I can see how the light moves on the character, even while they’re in different environments
This goes beyond being fire. This is tge inferni that burns in the creative minds all around the globe made manifest. The lighting and smooth animation at least.
Not to sure if you'll read this, but I really want to know what drawing tablet you use for all of these animation projects. Trying to get more into art as a hobby and really like your work! (and the music is nice I love maplestory and kirby) (also love sam and max)
Currently I use a 24" XPPen Artist24 Pro tablet and have no complaints (it was $1000 when I got it though). I've only had it for a couple years, before that I had a 20" Huion KAMVAS 20 tablet. These two have actual displays on them so it's like drawing on a monitor. When I got into digital art I spent the first five-ish years with cheaper tablets that didn't have a display, partially because I was in early high school with only birthday money to my name but also because I didn't even know if I'd enjoy it. I upgraded a total of three times, each time realizing that I wanted to take art more seriously as a hobby :)
@@SirloinBurgers Wow im really surprised u replied (and so soon at that!). I have been using a tablet w/o a screen for a while (2-3 odd years) and find it a little difficult. I asked cause I plan to spend some money on one. I'm trying to spend less time with games and move more time into art because I've always found it interesting. I also plan to take it more seriously and really learn how to draw. Again Thank you for the quick reply love the work.
Ive been recommended this video at least 200 times, and I finally bit the bullet and watched it, and im so grateful i did. This is an excellebt animation showing off various shading strategies
Oh wow, this is actually great reference and great work!, I don't usually see people upload their practice like this too much on my recommendations, thank you so much for sharing this, it's beautiful!!
It's hard to believe this is drawn, with some points making it obvious again. So impressive! BTW, I guessed the music correctly, almost. Reminded me of the Maplestory Login Theme, just happy instead of the sad nostalgic.
The concept behind this study is fantastic.
"You know what, just... throw in a bunch of lights and hook em to a control panel, we'll figure it out as we go!"
Fr though
And the DBZ ???? I love that inclusion
Yeah l on know
Why? I dont get it
God the fact that this is someone drawing moving shadows and not just actual shadows being cast is amazing. It looks so REAL
Ye bro this so cool
AMAZING

I love pranking 2 dimensional goopers with the momentary horrors of a third dimension (they will never feel the same again)

My jaw dropped when we got to Streetlights.
Every last one of these are amazing in their own way, but I honestly wasn't expecting the sheer variety and MASTERY of each.
Brilliant work. Keep it up! 👍
I KNOW RIGHT ???? This video is mind blowing and really show the work put in
The streetlights is a lighting i forgot about, so seeing the animation of it was so cool!!
Correct!
"What was it? That was the lost episode? THAT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF CHEAP WALK CYCLES!!!"

I love your animations ^^
A smaller animator caught the attention of a much bigger one, no less in value of course

I watched this on .5 and had to rewind many times, a simply wonderful showcase of animation and skill with shading
Interesting
I am utterly astounded that these amazing shading tests were put in the context of some guy involving a test subject in a studio lighting rig. That’s awesome!
this is gorgeous holy shit. that art style trauma moment for the both of them at the end is so funny
Not only were you able to perfectly show us all these different lighting techniques, but you also made these beautifully animated walk cycles! amazing quality bro, bravo!
More like lighting styles rather than techniques, but yeah. /pedantic
I Know This Guy!
this is not just a funny lil animation - ITS BASICALY TUTORIAL
I was blown here by the algorithm winds and OH MY GOD!!! That shading re-introduction/test animation had NO REASON TO BE THAT GOOD OR ADORABLE ❤️❤️❤️
This art is actually unfathomable to me. Like HOW??? You are TOO good. Do not let mappa see this, you are too good for that.
What do you mean by "don't let mappa see this"😞It's too late, they're already on the watch list.
just work for toei
I like the small detail where the number cards changes as it moves on to different types of lighting and shading such a nice detail
Wow, this looks great! I especially love the forest and sunset shadings
Wow! Not only does this video showcase different light perspectives and how to draw them, it shows different styles! This is amazing!
i love this creative way of telling how shading and light works, very straight forward and undertsandable!
that's the first time I watch studying video fully and not waiting for the mood, masterpiece
This is so insane you are incredible
The overcast, sunset, fireplace, bara and bold are just my favorite
*GORGEOUS*

So beautiful! I love how you can see the timing chart in some frames.

3 looks like running from a crime scene
2 looks like nervous walking
