How To Animate 2D Smears in Blender

Hey guys, Binu here!! Today, I’ll be showing you guys how you can utilize different kinds of smears on your animations to make them more expressive and organic. Follow along as I show you how I made an animation of Chikorita from the Pokémon anime using these techniques!

[@TeamMiracles]

Thanks!

[@DimiArt]

awesome animation, the colors of the pokemon seem to be off in the final rendering though, if you have the "filmic" filter on (which i think it is by default) your color picker won't be accurate, so change it to standard.

[@TeamMiracles]

Thanks for the tip! We'll keep an eye out :)

Wauuuuu

[@shrikantjha5630]

Amazing, how long does it take for rendering? 32GB RAM 4GB GRAPHICS

[@TeamMiracles]

rendering simple 2D animations like this takes very little time. 1 - 2mins for this one

[@WhoIsJohnblack]

Do you have a drawing tutorial cause you move super fast...

[@ssaahil0111]

thats a beyleafe not chikotita

[@hamzoofn]

First

[@remiinyang5643]

This is meant to be a tutorial right? Then why so quick? The shortcuts you use aren't clear. The keyframe spacing and how to actually do the smears are a blur. Yes it's a good video but if the intention is to convey knowledge, then it isn't doing a very good job.

[@TeamMiracles]

Thanks for the feedback! We'll keep it in mind for the future :)
