I didn't realize how important reference actually Is. I had this idea that I was "cheating" Using a reference, but now I realize even the greatest artist's have to use some sort of reference, or learn in their time before becoming a true master. This helps!
I think its one of the biggest lies whenever people say " oh you cant draw without reference your not a true artist!" When reality, an advance artist always uses reference. How is one suppose to draw a tree or a boat, etc if we dont know how it looks like first? Great masters always had references of the human skull so they know whats "underneath" when they draw.
I mean if your aim is traditional animation, yeah. But you don't 'need' to draw to become an animator, look at some genres like stop motion and 3d animation. And if you already know how to draw, it wouldn't necessary translate to your ability to animate, you'd still have to learn the subtleties of timing and spacing to do convincing movement, as well as the staging of your characters to tell a believable story. Again, if you wanted to do traditional animation then you NEED to draw very good and know how to be consistent, but it isn't as necessary in, for example, 3d animation. But the principles of animation stay the same in every medium.
I'd say it's definitely a good idea to start with learning to draw before moving onto animation. However, it's still very possible to get better at drawing along the way while learning to animate. So, really depends on the person and their level of patience and passion.
Im not sure if people know how big of a figure Scott Petersen is. He's worked on some of the greatest animated films/shows ever. My man worked on Iron Giant!!! I cant believe hes just giving his knowledge to people on youtube, this is incredible!!!!
I know that this probably isn’t that serious and you’re just complimenting him but I still feel like there’s people who think that think that you have to do a certain thing in order for it to be “true art”. If any of ya’ll out there think that, news flash that’s wrong. Any form of anything can be an art, not necessarily within actual psychical drawings either. It could be modeling or music production or acting.
I really love the older 2d animations that were hand drawn, 2d digital animation is beautiful too but hand drawn traditional animations have a certain charm to them I can’t quite explain.
@@ninisdesk I agree. Pretty soon, traditional hand drawn will decline in favor of digital hand drawn but still popular in Japan where it also utilizes digital hand drawn according to the TVPaint channel.
Lord, where have I been all my life?! This is exactly what I need!! As of now, I am taking an high school "animation" class that doesn't really teach animation, and that mainly teaches how Flash works. But when it comes to actually learning how to animate with in-betweens and how a simple animation like this that can be so fluid and fairly simple, THIS is what I'd rather be doing in that animation class, rather than figuring out how Flash works.
i realy found it ...you can only teach by yourself this...and watch tutorials where it looks obstacle ..no more west time on class desk learning aliens ...spending time on what u already know...
I highly recommend watching this video series about the 12 principles of animation: ua-cam.com/play/PL-bOh8btec4CXd2ya1NmSKpi92U_l6ZJd.html (Here's all the video in a single go: ua-cam.com/video/uDqjIdI4bF4/v-deo.html) Just understanding these concepts gave such a huge head start in my animation class.

A lot of people are saying they wish they could draw like this, but it's no different than riding a bike. If you can learn how to ride a bike, you can learn how to draw. Just like we all fell off of a bike when we first started, you'll make mistakes when you start learning how to draw. Would you laugh at a kid who fell off of a bike or help them get up? That's the way you have to treat yourself when you're learning. Allow yourself to make mistakes and have the mindset of a student to soak up as much information as possible! Most imortantly, HAVE FUN! The process is more important than the end result.
I can't belive how much effort goes into making traditional animations! Making just one scene alone seems like so much work, I can't even wrap my head around the amount of time, effort and talent it can take people to make a full length movie. You guys are seriously underappreciated.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one who thought that I have a table light that’s coming tomorrow and I was struggling to grasp of wtf their talking about but I’m just glad that I wasn’t thinking of that earlier.
Oh, dear. It's so amazing. Since my childhood I have been dreaming to become an animator. Dreams very often don't come true. Many years later and still I love the traditional animation. Watching videos like this tears my heart in pieces as well as the idea of that I will never be able to work in this area. Keep going, you are doing it great! Explanations are also pretty available even for amateurs.
Its never too late to start, im actually planning on doing this for a living, bring back some of this stuff, do alp the hardwork, and get started, then call me :) lol
If you have that mindset, then you never really loved it that much to begin with. The independent animator community is huge, especially on this platform. Unless both your hands are gone, you can still always learn in order to make your own stuff and have the possibility get picked up in freelancing gigs.
What are you doing for a living these days Scott? I was a 2D animator back in the day too. Your work is lovely btw. Best how-to video I have seen, brings it all back... (sob).
As a novice in animation, I thank you for your videos and your preview pictures on your blog, Mr. Petersen. "Animating by 2s" and Inbetweens are slightly confusing, but the more tutorials I am watching I am learning the terminology.
❤ thanks, i like how you explain the (your) combination pose to pose ,/straight ahead, not a lot of people speak clearly about that, still didn't finish the video yet, just wanted to say thank you!
This is a very helpful video! Thank you Proff.Petersen! I'm more of a digital animator, but all of the techniques you are teaching are a HUGE help for how to approach & handle the animation process.
Exposure sheets are used to do this! It's a chart where the key frames are written in relativity to the over-expressed syllables of a character in the scene. Basically like this: A = Keyframe 1 O = Keyframe 2 L = Keyframe 3 The syllables would pertain to the shapes the character's mouth would be making. In this one, he might be saying "all".
Here are some links to better understand things. The first two are article from the ToonBoom website and another animation site, the other is just reference sheets. learn.toonboom.com/modules/basic-concepts/topic/exposure-sheet-timeline-and-timing animateducated.blogspot.com/2017/08/organizing-your-animation-work-part-3.html?m=1 support.animationmentor.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/201034298-X-Sheet-Exposure-sheet-Templates?mobile_site=true
@@TeegMonkey No problem! If it wasn't for traditional animation, I would've never gotten into art. It's one of my passions. I'd also recommend Preston Blair's book, "Cartoon Animation", and "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams, which I've heard is excellent.
@@KraisonFrameworks OMGGGGG the same thing applies to me! Growing up with classic Disney movies totally began my love of art, now that you mention it!!!!😍😍😍😍😍 thank you!!!!!!
@@RAVIOLl I don't know if you'll see this question, but I'm real interested in why you say so. I've always thought digital animating was easier since you can make edits easier (you can lasso tool a limb and move it, at least for the base sketches), have easier control over onion skinning, and can preview longer clips than with traditional (to see how a movement or moment looks).
@@alanaflynn8878 Also it's far more practical and cost effective. You won't have to worry about constantly replenishing paper and drawing tools or keep track of stacks upon stacks of paper. Also some digital animation programs were made to be able to create a traditional look, like TvPaint.
Recently I noticed that where my animations fell short was in the posing. This really helped me tackle down what I need to work on! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
oohh thiss is making everything so much easier to understand and honestly the pointers are really good i never thought about using visual points like that ! Thank you ! so much !!
Thank you sooooo much for showing this. I really wanna learn how to animate and since i graduate and they didnt have those classes here where i live, im trying to learn on my own and watching these videos help me a lot more to understand how its done and all the expressions etc. Subscribed jeje
It helps to see if the frames are consistent Moving correctly and not have it morp It's like constantly playing the play button Also it can help you to focus more on the movement of your animation instead of the drawing
Oh wow, just what I was looking for. I love animation as a hobby, not as pressure and demand dictated by occupation. Been doing it for years since the 90s when they had camcorders.📹 Over time, regrettably, I lost a lot of those VHS tapes. I did some wild and crazy things with animation.(creating flying saucers out of paper plates zooming through space) You don't have to not necessarily draw to animate (had other economic resources) . using bottles and cans and move them around in sequence to create the illusion of movement. I used a series of mouth movement 👄👅💋s and tacked them to styrofoam , creating talking heads. Animation can also be created from cutouts✂️📐📏 in magazines,moving the figures around to get the desired effect. You don't have to restrict yourself by drawing on paper alone.You only need imagination and the joyful will to create. I loved it🎨💚.
I'm so excited I've been contemplating on using pages instead of using adobe for starting and i got clarification on the in betweens, i was like how do people draw over other sketches and why
I used to work at sequel Disney studio in Sydney. We had a clean up department the cleaned keys, and we had to in between the clean frames. We did things there ever so slightly different to the us studios ;). I miss flipping paper, I don't miss the pencil test, and shooting the frames though, and don't miss not needing to scan my personal animations at home
Both are expensive and require a lot of time and effort put in on the artist’s end. If you have enough determination you could do either one of your choosing and master it well.
The work that is noticeable in the animation is a vital part of the experience. Better than moving an object from point A to B with pose 1 and 2 and letting a computer interpolate between them.
Hello, dear Scott.You've a good sence of humaour.You work hard.You're very interesting person .Thank you for your great job.Greetings from Moscow, Russia.🇷🇺
This is so good. I know what you mean about the between movement to make it feel natural, Hercules is my favourite Disney movie and quite often when he moves his head it's more of a roll than a tilt.
Well, time to train myself in page turning then, or I'll just ended up ripping more papers! :'D Also, animation is a moving illusion, so you don't have to draw EXACTLY as the eyes have its delay for the brain to process and won't notice some in-between frames. (Which is why it's fun to see every frames and pick which one is the weirdest and funniest)
@@amargapreciousmargarettee.3125 if you're asking about what a Mormon is, its what people call a church thats based out in Utah. also the members of that church. the character he designed looks a lot like the boys that are native Utahns.
This is nostalgic. I've been wanting to work at ToonCity Animation Manila because I knew someone who worked there. I saw him draw the way Scott did here. I was amazed and asked if he could give me some of the papers he was using because it was thicker, wider, and smoother than the usual paper. And it has holes. A seven year old me was so amazed. He gave me some, like a centimeter thick of those with staedtler pencils and eraser. He took his work at home and was working on Tarzan during that time. I was able to draw too at a young age because he inspired me and he told me that when I grow up, he'll take me to their office to work there. He's my uncle btw. But of course it did not happen. End of my ted talk.
The number one school for animation is California institute of arts, or Cal-Arts for short, because years ago i was trying to get in that school, and at that time the original animators who worked alongside with Disney was teaching there
i've rewatched this video so many times since youtube first recommended it to me (3 or 4 years ago) and i still watch it as if its the first time because this video contains so much information and it helps me so much im keeping this video in a separated playlist until the day i d!e
No puedo creer que haya llegado a una situación como esta, estoy viendo un video de hace 6 años, recién a las 6:30am, ¿que estoy haciendo? Esta clase de cosas hacen replantearme sobre mi vida de una forma curiosa. Como sea It really is a good explanation on how to make animation, thanks.
I've wondered about how to keep characters consistent throughout a project... Or even what it was called! At the end of this video you mentioned it. Style guides and emotion refer sheets. If love to know more about these. My characters like too different...
I didn't realize how important reference actually Is. I had this idea that I was "cheating" Using a reference, but now I realize even the greatest artist's have to use some sort of reference, or learn in their time before becoming a true master. This helps!
reference isnt cheating if you draw side by side to it. But tracing over someone else’s art / the reference picture is cheating.
@@APRILartz I know that, I'm saying if you reference and interpret it into your own drawing
@MelodyMania Same!! I'm doing much better now too. Glad you can relate.
every now and then, even when I'm drawing like an OC or something, if I don't know what the pose is I just use myself. it 100% helps
I think its one of the biggest lies whenever people say " oh you cant draw without reference your not a true artist!" When reality, an advance artist always uses reference.

the thing is that animation requires another different set of skills apart from learning how to illustrate so you have to learn both
@@meowmrrrp I know how to animated I just don't know how to draw that's the thing and I don't have patience ;-;
You can start animating as early as you like! You don't have to be good at art to animate

_i am so attracted to the character he's drawing like heck he cute_
ikr
I left this video with new knowledge and a husbando lmao
you'll find plenty of irl versions in Utah. lol the character hes drawing is a Mormon missionary
whats that
@@amargapreciousmargarettee.3125 if you're asking about what a Mormon is, its what people call a church thats based out in Utah. also the members of that church. the character he designed looks a lot like the boys that are native Utahns.
This is super underrated.
8:24 I was expecting to hear “hello this is chef John from foodwishes . Com wiiiith..”
Thank your good
"Hello there! Chef John here and today we'll be making in-betweens". 100%
Wow.... he makes it look so easy...
So great videos you did
Thanks for sharing knowledge Mr Petersen
This man is a living Legend
Yes he is
Great animation tutorials,Scott!I have worked with you sometimes at Tooncity Anim. studio in Manila.
This is nostalgic. I've been wanting to work at ToonCity Animation Manila because I knew someone who worked there. I saw him draw the way Scott did here. I was amazed and asked if he could give me some of the papers he was using because it was thicker, wider, and smoother than the usual paper. And it has holes. A seven year old me was so amazed. He gave me some, like a centimeter thick of those with staedtler pencils and eraser. He took his work at home and was working on Tarzan during that time. I was able to draw too at a young age because he inspired me and he told me that when I grow up, he'll take me to their office to work there. He's my uncle btw.
But of course it did not happen.
End of my ted talk.
I work at this guy when i was in toon city his a great guy and great animator and a teacher!that was wat ba k 2006 maybe i can remember

@@BoarPit I don't remember Roger looking like that
Great crash course, just want I needed.
The number one school for animation is California institute of arts, or Cal-Arts for short, because years ago i was trying to get in that school, and at that time the original animators who worked alongside with Disney was teaching there
i've rewatched this video so many times since youtube first recommended it to me (3 or 4 years ago) and i still watch it as if its the first time because this video contains so much information and it helps me so much
im keeping this video in a separated playlist until the day i d!e
with pose to pose : there is clarity and strength
with straight-ahead : their is spontaneity
No puedo creer que haya llegado a una situación como esta, estoy viendo un video de hace 6 años, recién a las 6:30am, ¿que estoy haciendo? Esta clase de cosas hacen replantearme sobre mi vida de una forma curiosa. Como sea
It really is a good explanation on how to make animation, thanks.
Thank you for the excellent video Mr. Peterson!! Hope things are going well!
I LOVE traditional and I respect this.
You're so talented and such an amazing animator! Thank you soooo much for these tips they're super helpful🌸 I took so many notes lol
I've wondered about how to keep characters consistent throughout a project... Or even what it was called! At the end of this video you mentioned it. Style guides and emotion refer sheets. If love to know more about these. My characters like too different...
Amazing how much work it takes to get a fluid, 3 dementional movement from a flat drawing.. Wow
It's so helpful for me👍👍
Thank you so much🙏
This is amazing! I just started animation and this really inspires me!
I'm planning to do digital animation but this was still wayyyyy helpful
I like your animation style it looks good looks like something Disney would make in the 90s or 2000s
