A little splashy turtle.

Post by djm99001 »

This is hopefully the beginning of a freelance project.
I did 8 drawings on paper, then scanned, re-timed, in-betweened, inked, and colored in TVPaint.

Enjoy!!!!

Revision

Post by djm99001 »

Alright, alright. I inked and cleaned it.

I'd like to hear from anyone who does clean 2d animation entirely in TVPaint--my process was pretty slow for this and definitely needs suggestions. I had about eight layers -- first, the initial 8 drawings on paper, timed out with holds. Then, a blue pencil layer done in tvpaint, all 24 frames, rough animation. Then I (needlessly) spread the inking across several layers, and finally slid the color underneath.
I discovered that the blue needs to be well constructed if the inking is going to go quickly. I had to construct those morphy feet in the inking stage.

I'm doing nine more animals in this style, for the freelance project.

inking could be done on one layer indeed.

a feature that might help you during cleaning is to open open a secondary project window ( short cut 'm' ), now set one window at 100% magnification this is so you can see how your ink-line will look in the end result,
you can use the other window to do the actual drawing and zoom in on the part you are cleaning.

a comment on your cleaned turtle.
When its head moves back to the begin position it loses volume and shape, it looks very morphed there.

Thanks for the inking tip. I knew about the "m" key but I never thought to use it for inking. Seems obvious now.

I cleaned it up further, and actually reshaped the head, since the client said it was too "alien-like."

It got distorted because I didn't anticipate youtube rescaling it like that....
