Nice explanation, thank you very much, is a really deep process on production that is generally never mentioned on class room or small animation studios.
Thanks Meli! I've heard similar stuff from other students, it always confounds me why this stuff isn't taught. But glad to help improve the knowledge base anywhere I can :)
@@ArtOfSoulburn COOL! I'm a teacher too, I teach in Chile, and all is based on my own experience and self taugth (I studied animation at college before too) but there's always new tools and documents to be created on the art process that can help makes things easier in production. So thanks again for open your knowledge to all of us, my students will be delighted!
Just found this video and thank you for the explanation, do you have any suggested software for organizing a moodboard? I want to start a concept art project soon and trying to gather all the references I'd want, thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked the video. So while there is probably specialized software out there for creating moodboards, I just use photoshop, it's just so versatile so I can go beyond just collecting images and add notes, arrows, and even quick paintovers of things if necessary,
@@ArtOfSoulburn gotcha, so if you were moodboarding and then started painting characters, would you just open the moodboard as an image on another monitor or do you normally character design in the same document?
@@inconspicuousboar3177 So, I'd keep the moodboard open on my second monitor and then paint on a blank cancas on my first monitor (which is a cintiq). What I meant was when making the moodboard I might want to make a couple of edits to the reference in photoshop, which is why I would also make the moodboard in photoshop, but when actually making the concept I'd do that in a new document.
Thank you so much for this video, very clear and inspiring. Do you have any tricks or educational references for coming up with color palettes? Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Nothing planned for color palettes in the immediate future, personaly I feel there are many other artists who have a much stronger sense of color than me, I tend to rely more on value contrast for my compositions. But I'll keep it in mind for future videos.
GreatVid! gonna go through my roughly clumped together pureref stuff n do some reorganizing! do you have any recommendations for finding movie stills for light references?
Glad you like it! I'm old school when it comes to lighting reference, so I get the DVD, and do my own screencaps. One day I suppose I won't be able to do that as more and more films never get a dvd release and stay streaming only, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it :)
@@ArtOfSoulburn Sounds like a good idea! there have been times where I took a movie screen n saved it to a desktop somewhere but i really need to get a folder going for these type of stuff too lol!
@@VertexPolyFort Yup, I do recommend a well organized reference library. But then again, I have one of those "librarian" personalities, so I find it not just helpful but fun :D
