Hello peeps of the Animation Community! It is officially the new year, which means we’ve got a whole new batch of promising television animation to look forward to in 2019 including

The Owl House created by Dana Terrace coming to Disney Channel

Villainous created by Alan Ituriel coming to Cartoon Network

Hazbin Hotel created by Vivienne Medrano coming to YouTube

Infinity Train created by Owen Dennis coming to Cartoon Network

And Amphibia created by Matt Braly coming to Disney Channel!

And in addition to these new series, we also have new seasons of old favorites such as Steven Universe and Star vs. the Forces of Evil coming this new year! So I believe it is safe to say this is looking to be a fantastic year for animation!

"Hansel y gretel, parte 1" trabajo de clase #homework https://www.instagram.com/p/BzAue08iVxP/?igshid=1hv2hex136e77

This is my first animation, if I can call it that. 

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

Homework: Infography about connection between abrahamic religions. Doesn’t intend to be 100% true, I had little time and a lot of information to handle. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-fS2pCcaU/?igshid=6deegjowxo7r

could u do a tutorial on shading? how do u get your lines so straight? im a huge fan of ur art and i would love to learn how !!

Shading (without a specific light source)

1. Flat Colors

2. Add a lighter color or a darker color to the original color in order to add more value to the flat colors.

If you look at the image below it shows the comparisons of the new color that was added to the original color in order to see the difference between the two.

3. Add the shadows in order to show which object is above another object. To create the shadows I used the colors shown below and set them to ‘multiply’. This adds more depth to your work. 

4. Use ‘multiply’ to give more emphasis on certain aspects on your work. Like for example the leaves.

5. Add the finishing touches and you are done!

Shading (with a specific light source)

All you gotta do is determine where the light source is. In the image below, the light source is the sun. The little sun will guide you on which parts should be illuminated or shaded. 

Here are some examples:

In order to see the difference that shading can do, here is a process gif!!!

As for lines, I believe that everyone’s style is different. Some choose to do little strokes while others do just one big stroke. As for me, I just do one big stroke in order to maintain the fluidity and consistency of the line. Here is a picture of comparison:

If you want smooth lines then just try and draw it in one swift movement. If you don’t get it right, don’t erase the part that went wrong (because it will be obvious that it’s no longer one line but 2 lines because the continuity of the original line and the new line won’t be the same). You have to redo the whole line from the beginning.

 If you practice this a lot you will notice that your lines will be better and at the same time, you will work faster because you don’t have to do so many strokes. Btw  when you draw the line do it fast, like really fast, so that you won’t encounter any mistakes. 

Just draw a lot and you will get the hang of it and I also hope you know that each artist has their own style. So maybe the one swift stroke works for me but the many short strokes work for you. Just draw in a way that’s more comfortable to you. Anyway, hope this was helpful and have a good day!
