I was not expecting the dabbing squid ward
*OMG this has always been my struggles!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!* 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ctclockwises This really gave me some ideas and some techniques to get that nice realistic background ty
Keep struggling! You will get there!
tell me about it?
Using contrast to paint backgrounds & using the biggest brush possible for that job, I really liked those to tips. Great video, excited for the animations
You always know exactly what topics to cover.
You are my hero and one my biggest inspiration...
My mind was blown seeing the animation 😨
Ciel Phantomhive 😂 my mind was grown if ya catch my drift
Thank you so much. Because of all your videos I'm getting better and better at animating even though I have so much on my plate with school comming up I might only be able to animate on the week ends now, but all your videos are such great help!!!! So thank you so much for this one cause this subject has been the hardest for me to do T^T
This was very helpful. I liked the advice he made with using less and less detail as you make the background so everything isn't all in your face and you can pay attention to what you need to see. Another great video
Ive just binged so many videos from this channel and I’m honestly blown away by how professional the videos are for TH-cam, not to mention Howard is an absolute legend! I’m currently on a animation and games course and having such a phenomenal channel to fall back on, I’m really considering specialising in animation for my second year. Thanks man, your too good for TH-cam.
Your tutorials help me so much! I’m still learning, but one day I want to make a finished animation! Thanks for all your help 🙏
so happy to see you again after a while.
Nice video - thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Great video Howard, looking forward to the shortfilms! Thanks for mentioning me btw!
Thanks for the mention Howard!! Your film's coming along great!!!
Beautiful animations! They have a very fresh style!
Hi I just wanted to say that I love your videos so much and you have inspired me to improve and have helped me so much in my animation. So keep up the good work :)
I have subscribed this channel. I feel this channel has contents that make your channel deserve more subscribers. Keep going 😊
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you this was so cool and instructive!!
And I love your style~ It's sketchy and clean at the same time!! OoO
My number one motivator 💖 you are amazing!
Those look amazing! The previews, I mean.
i absolutely love watching your videos and they help so much!
Wow I can’t wait to see the skier animation looks crazy and the motion of speed looks on point. I’ll definitely will check out those other animations you showed us. Just 1 question? I was thinking about getting an iPad Pro with the apple pencil for animation only, what do you think about that? Queries on what your thoughts are on it. Great video stay strong and much love 👍
the animation is up now on the channel! I would recommend getting something from the wacom brand, I don't have any experience with drawing on an ipad pro, and I'm not sure what animation software you can run on it
The clearing shot is really beautiful
Finally waiting for a new video, glad you uploaded it
adnan rafiqui my silent period is over! Looking forward to bringing out lots of high quality videos over the coming weeks
another great video by howard himself ! great job dude ! keep up the good work
Amazing!
Wtf I was thinking about drawing background literally day before yesterday >.>' was wondering how to go about doing them, thank you for this video! Literally posted at the perfect time.
You're awesome ma dude! I hope we can all see more from you in the future! Like starting your own anime on youtube! I would definitely watch anytbung you make.
Thank you this is really helpful
great study, thanks for the video...
dude, you're a legend.
You're my animation role model!
Guess im not the only one who also blurres my vision when making art :))
All of this information is useful
thank you so much
Hope I could do this with my tab next time
Thanks you
Love you videos man, picking up and revising so many great tips and mind sets thank you :)
Are you using the histogram for anything in particular?
9:38 i do that when drawing and writing so i dont have to focuse to hard on the specifics and can be quicker. (I have O.C.D and im a perfectionist)
Do you have a tutorial on how to draw different perspective buildings?
Cool
for night scenes, how would you make the characters stand out from the enviroment without making them look too dark or too light? I sometimes see animation where characters look as if they were glowing because of their strong contrast with the back ground
Just use the darker shades of the colors you want to use. I'd say.
If you have your animated characters and backgrounds as separate assets, you can use After Effects to shift hue, saturation, or brightness as needed to blend. It's not a free software, however...
Thanks for the tutorial- some good tips, especially as I'm planning a small project which involves some artistic assets. I figure it's a good call to create in-house background assets for conceptual art, rather than solely relying on online image searching, as you don't always find what you need, especially if it's fictitious, fantasy-style of art needed.
Glad it was helpful!
I will animate by your side someday.
Is it necessary to add characters with respect to the perspective point view on backgrounds?
So you know the correct composition and scale of the background is why I add the characters then remove the layer once I am done
Nice
Let everyday life inspire you to make animations from natural figures and people also in nature because that is were animation comes from
what brushes would you suggest for line work this is something i am struggling to find thank you
Coolest guy in the world
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
oh my tahnkse :)
This is very inspirational and I was confused about if you need a certain web site or drawing app or anything to help with the animation. And did you make the animation on a different thing then when you color the backgrounds, Im new to this but I really want to make animations from my drawings on my channel. Could you help me out please? ‘:)
love ya
I struggle with this the most
can I do a background in photoshop and then transfer it to blender?
Where could I get the pic?
What brushes using
do you use wacoom to draw ?
Can you please tell me which animation software are you using. Is it Flash Cc or any other?
What resolution do you usually make your background? I like to add camera zoom in’s in the animation and I don’t want the backgrounds to look pixelated. Also which resolution is ideal for 4K ?
the bigger the better. If your computer can handle 8k without slowing down performance then... why not?
Please tell me which software were u using
Do you make music for your animation too?
What software are you using for drawing and animation?
How do you choose the color? That is my most weakest area...
Can I ask you something do you using Photoshop for making this background
yes
Which software is thz
7:30 😂 btw, your backgrounds are so good, how did you get good at them?
Leonardo Palmenio Gonzalez Baez 😆 thanks! I guess it is mostly from making so many backgrounds and problem-solving with each one. Discovering my own methods along the way and not getting too distracted by fancy tools and instead keeping the process as simple as I can. In a short film i typically make 50 to 100 backgrounds. I have made dozens of short films so it all adds up to quite a lot of experience!
Howard Wimshurst wow, that explains it, you have so much experience, passion, and concentration in what is important to make that the focus of the image; I will try to keep things simple, because that's what I struggle the most with, but overall experience is irreplaceable. ☺👍👌
do you still use TvPaint pro? I thought you might of switched from photoshop.
Benjamin Otero i use tvpaint for the fbf animation but i still use photoshop for the background painting process. I could paint the backgrounds in tvp if i wanted to but I quite like photoshop brushes when it comes to painting. For fbf sketching i have developed a tvpaint brush that i am absolutely in love with so it doesn't look like i'll be changing that for a while
4:28 Even the video your painting in is blue =D
yeah I didn't reset the colour balance! funny coincidence
Haha okay =p
Hello, Howard Wimshurst. I am an aspiring background artist and currently subscribed for your animation content. Your theories regarding background painting were indeed correct; however, the lecture was hindered by your lack of experience in colors. To reiterate, you know the theories but you were not able to apply it in your backgrounds due to lack of experience. Having the inability of proper color prediction would lead to your animations having a false message. You may have thought of a message in the background; however, due to lack of experience in colors, your intended core message to your viewers may be changed. The viewers perspective of the image/animation could be different to your idea. Therefore, having a better understanding of colors would improve idea communication and also create better understanding of backgrounds.
Of course, you must study two things:
1. Perspective
2. Colors
For the proper introduction to Perspective I highly suggest the video series, Perspective Drawing: Creating Illustrations with Dimension of Matt Laskowski from Skillshare.
For colors I suggest doing a color study with the guidance of Matt Kohr from Ctrl+Paint.
Specificially, the video series of "Simplifying Photo Studies" from Ctrl+Paint.
I commented to relieve some misinformation in this video regarding background painting. Thanks for reading Howard and I hope to see future videos about backgrounds.
Guys Can anyone please tell me how to import a painting from PS to AI for animation?
drag and drop the ps file into the library my friend
@@HowardWimshurst thank you very much
I squinted for a good several minutes after he said the squint technique
Juan Manuel Laguna that sounds very Filipino.
16:47 sorry man, I can't stand for this, unsubscribed /s
Fluff Dawg lol imao
Lmfao
Nahu Idi haHAA
Look I know that you will never even see my comment but listen,
You should of used darker colors on the shadows you made for the tree's closes to the viewer and your using to many thick white lines to out line your back ground as well and your should clean up your line work,
The way you made your forest doesn't look natural at all please try and think about the natural feel to mother nature. But good work and keep it up.
