The Essence of Animation (specifically anime)

 Hopefully writing this will make me a better animator magically-

*ahem*

So to understand a complicated animation's process, here is the breakdown.

1. storyboard

a static sketch of what is happening, and is usually accompanied with a description of what is supposed to be happening. so i suppose it's one (1) comic panel.

2. sketch

the artist tries their best to sketch out the movements of the storyboard as a animation.

3. lineart

a cleanup artist draws the lineart over the sketch and erases the sketch layer, or makes it not visible.

4. coloring

a colorist (not the racist kind) colors in the lineart by referring to the reference photos of the character.

5. extra tidbits

the camera layer is controlled to focus on specific aspects of the animation. 

there can also be extra things added like sparkles or something.

i learnt animation in high school so i guess this is based off my own process.

hope this was interesting and helpful to read or something

bai bai
