  • Here is a little animation I did in Procreate, and How I did it.
    If you want to learn to Paint, Draw and Animate in Procreate.
    I have two big Procreate courses on Schoolism:

      I'm an animator and clients aren't very understanding of how much work it takes, a lot of times they ask for stylised long videos in a very short period of time and get mad when I reject the comission.

      2D Animation especially deserves more spotlight these days. I love both 3D and 2D but the film industry made a mistake replacing nearly all 2D Anims with 3D.

      I am just now learning procreate, and I did a cartoon of a loved one recently. I couldn’t believe how powerfully the brushes and the smoothing helped create the final product. But watching this was simply magical. It makes me happy knowing I can learn these skills and apply them in my own way for my own needs. You’ve given me such insight into key frames and animation. I will look into your program.

    • @suyin8796
      @suyin8796 Před 3 lety +5

      I could be wrong, but usually for masking, a method that allows you to use layers for your drawing. When I use the grey, it’s usually to allow me to see where I need to colour on next. But I am only amateur so I could be wrong!

    • @YANAPA
      @YANAPA Před 3 lety +12

      The real answer to that technique is for having a good read of values (light & shadow) for the scene. So when he’s done with it he can colorize without changing values. I hope it makes sense!

    • @Lygon_
      @Lygon_ Před 3 lety

      They fill their objects with grey so they can basically quickly select that block of grey and make a selection without having to lasso the shape every single time. It’s a real time saver! Of course, you can use it in other ways too like the ones mentioned here.
