i can’t believe how a human can just make an animation in one week. it takes me 5,000 years. I also remember seeing the animation for the earth quake one day when i was scrolling on yt shorts! edit: guys i know that animation time varies on the length and type of person. i’m just talking about my own experiences with animation /nbr
It really just depends on the length and complexity of the animation. Like, I can do an animation in a few hours, but I'm still learning so my animation are mostly walking/jumping cycle or head turns of a few seconds
I made an idle pose for a character that was something of a 12 frame loop in a couple hours. I've never animated before that, so I don't really know if that's fast or slow.
For earthquakes, you get under the nearest sturdy table or desk and stay away from bookcases, chandeliers, and anything else that may fall and wait it out.
Not under it, next to it. İf you are under a table, something falling on it would fall on you as well but if you were next to the legs of the table then if something falls on the table and breaks it, there would be an empty space between the legs, the floor and either the top of the table or whatever fell on it, in the shape of a triangle. English is not my first language so i hope this made sense
@@noddle4649well, according to the CDC, “COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won’t fall on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands”. If you could find a source for your claim that you shouldn’t do that, I’d be interested (even if only accessible via Google Translate).
@@noddle4649 Actually, this “triangle of life” advice is incorrect, it is based on several incorrect assumptions and comes from a chain email that has been thoroughly debunked by rescuers and experts. You are more reliably safe underneath a sturdy table than you are next to it.
There is a way to use a bucket tool in regular Procreate (although it's not named that)! In the selection part, along with the lasso ("freehand") and square/circular selection options, there's "automatic selection", I think it's the one on the furthest left. You just get that one and click on where you want to color, then click on the little bucket named "color fill" and voilà (if I got any names wrong I apologize, I'm translating them from Portuguese into English). You can select everything before clicking color, or click color and then go selecting all the parts. I also don't like color drop cause I feel like it messes with the colors close to it, idk if that's just me. Anyways hope this helps!
@@LavenderTowneI think you could also just grab the little colour blob thing, drag it to where you want to colour, and hold it until the colour threshold pops up, then you can drag left or right to adjust how much the fill is kinda. After you let go there’ll be a button called continue filling with recolour and if you press that you can just tap on parts of the drawing and it’ll just fill it in for you
@@LavenderTowneThis is only in Procreate, and I think this is fairly new, but now if you color drop a little text box will appear towards the top of the screen that says "continue filling," and after clicking that you can just tap on different areas to color them. Also if you drag and drop the color and don't take your pen off, a blue line will appear at the top, and if you drag it left and right it adjusts how much it fills. This cannot make the color drop ignore full on gaps but it does help a tremendous amount.
As a person living in a heavy earthquake region, how relaxed you were in that video was so interesting to me In natural disasters like that people should act like that and not Immediately panic
For us who don’t live in a place with earthquakes, we panic because the only exposure we get to it is “OMG WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE CAUSE THE WHOLE BUILDING WILL FALL ON US!!” We get like 1 drill in school on what to do a year. It’s like how people in Tornado Valley are chill and just sit and watch it rampage, and we all think their crazy
as an animator, thank you for showing non-animators how a short like this takes an actual full week (and usually more HAHA) i always know in the back of my head that a lot of people won't appreciate or even comprehend the hours that go into an animation, even a youtube short, so thank you!!
Fr! I had an assignment where I had to make a subject (animal/person) walk then run, and boy it took me days. It wasn't even smooth and the anatomy was kind of wack but the deadline was really tight so I had to really rush it. The video ended up only being 6 seconds....
my issues with procreate dreams: no lasso tool/transform tools when you're zoomed out the brush strokes become blurry and also their size changes You can't customize your brushes within the app if you group a bunch of frames and then move them, and then ungroup them, the frames move back to where they were before you moved it. after undo-ing a couple times in a row, it starts to group the undo's and you'll end up losing like 10 strokes with every tap instead of one.
Honestly your channel is one of the best. You don't shout or act weird, the effort you put into your art is incredible, you give good tips and reviews like this so people don't waste their money and most of all you are talented. ❤❤❤
Its funny how many people have different descriptions of how an earthquake feels. You describe it as liquid-like, some say its like the ocean, and I say that it feels like the ground is coming to life. I think it depends on past experiences that shape your worldview.
It's awesome you were able to do this in five days. Usually when i try to animate a long video, I get carried away way too easily and I don't plan ahead of time. I just do it. And it never gets done that way XD I thought the earthquake animation was super cute when I saw it tbh
At least in regular procreate if you color drop then click the little blue button at the top “continue filling” or something like that you can just click and fill the area
I use procreate on my ipad and I've found it to be the easiest program I've ever used (also i think regular procreate has an animation tool?) But I always had trouble with other forms of digital art, and I think everyone has their own preferences, which is why I don't truly think there's a "perfect" art program at all.
Thanks for this video! I bought procreate dreams a few months ago expecting it to be amazing bc i love procreate. But tbh when i used it it was very bare bones without some of the most basic tools like quick-shape and lasso tools, hopefully they keep improving it!
Personally preffer using toonsquid it would be cool if you reviewed newer ipad animation apps because a lot has changed since you made your last video about it
the lack of selection tool is SO ANNOYING!!! i have only done one 2D animation in dreams and it was so frustrating to work with because i only wanted to move small parts. i ended up having to duplicate an entire layer, erase everything around it, and combine it down OR duplicating a key frame and then tracing whatever aspect if I wanted it to be in a different spot but look the same. very frustrating and it took up an annoying amount of time. i was also upset there was no alpha lock? i like to sketch in a color instead of black and i couldn’t change it so everything was purple and some parts were blue 😭
Loved the video and animation! Also for the Procreate colour drop tool if you drag your colour over to where you want it to be then instead of just dropping it hold it, and for the annoying white gap between your colour and line art drag it slightly to the right :)
I have the same critiques for Procreate Dreams as you. I think it’s meant to make animation more accessible to students or amateurs rather than replace professional animation tools like ToonBoom. (To be fair, even the professional grade tools can be glitchy and crash every once in a while) But the fact that it can even compete on this level with as many missing features is still kind of amazing. Like, if you’re a pro, you’re still going to be able to make a really dope looking animation with it, even it’s tedious to use.
I've only ever animated tiny things for my videos and know I do NOT have any patience for animation 😂 it's incredible that you managed this in one week!!
Lavendertowne, you won't see this comment in a sea of others, but I am inspired by all of your videos and I'm going to start animation and digital art! This comment has probably been said so many times, but I do mean it. So, thank you, Lavendertowne!!
As someone who just finished a 3 month project in Procreate Dreams, I have *thoughts*. Because of the lack of a lasso tool, I find that doing the art in Procreate just works better for now, especially because you can drag layers or even whole procreate projects into a track on Dreams . I mostly use Dreams for key framing (pan, zoom, dolly camera) and animating masking layers. The preform mode is also great, but it takes a lot of practice. Mostly, I think that Dreams is a great companion app to Procreate, but needs more work. Devs have said that lasso is their top priority, so I hope that the rest of the wrinkles will get ironed out eventually.
As a natural born cali girl, The first thing you should do in a earth quake is to either go under a door frame or a very strong table. I tend to chose the door frame as my house as a child had metal door frames built for earthquakes. and my pet cat was our earthquake alarm.
I TRIED using it for the first time yesterday-- could not get past the lack of lasso tool- it was my first time trying to animate something and went in completely blind. . I gave up- I may have kept at it if there was a lasso tool but- just- couldn't do it oof
I remember when I came to school one morning and all my classmates was talking about an earthquake and I was like, wtf are you talking about? Turns out I had slept through an earthquake and my classmates didn't let me live that down for the rest of the week (it wasn't a big one, they described it feeling as if a big af truck was driving past just outside, it was more the chock of there being an earthquake at all in the area that shocked them).
Istg, the second i heard that sound effect a few seconds i immediately thought of the "(insert number) theories left" from game theory, film theory, food theory, and style theory.
22nd person to comment on this yay Also hi i saw your drawing the bitlife thing and i lost the channel and plus the drawing the poisons as people but i found the channel again and i love it. Also i just wanna share my fav style of drawing , doodling or like just drawing something without color
this is so funny because i was learning to animate in procreate dreams yesterday for my animation class and felt every one of these problems. my pal says she hopes for an update to at least implement the lasso tool and I'll have to agree.
I'd love to see a video where you try out Krita's animation feature! It's my main drawing program on my computer and where I do all of my animation, but I've never seen anyone else use it aside from people in tutorials I look up.
this looks like it was a fun time- the finished animation looks great though! also, if youd like to ever do something somewhat similar to this again, id highly recommend trying out toonsquid!
I am good at animating even my sister agrees, BUT I do not have the motivation to complete one, but now that I have watched your video, the motivation is coming. 😁😃
Not too long ago in Italian class there was a small, very brief, earthquake and my teacher who is Italian became a bit worried but the rest of the class being that we are in the CA Bay Area did not care at all so it was pretty funny when the teacher was like "Oh my goodness did you all feel that!?" then most of the class all nonchalant just say "Yeah".
Yes Procreate Dreams is definitely a learning curve it does take some months to get the hsbg of it. I just finished ny short film last month and that was a challenge in its self trying finish the minj project. I only did part one Procreate Dreams tgeb did the rest of it in procreate lucky enough I was able to complete it . If anyone wants check out the video it's called "Date Night"
can you do a part 2 of making school inspired monsters? because I'd love to see my favorite class be turn into a monster! The class is theater :3 [in my school is an actual class but not required so it is kinda consitered a 'excoricular' class].
Thank you so much for this! I use procreate, and I'd been considering buying procreate dreams but I'd been hesitant because I couldn't tell if it was good or not... I've been hoping you'd talk about it!
hi lavendertowne! do you think you can make a little tutorial for animation sketch movements? because my animations lineart always come out very slightly wobbly when i line over it but its still noticeable
Things I’ve noticed about Procreate Dreams while using it. You cannot merge layers No lasso No vector brushes No QuickShape Cannot warp or distort anything with multiple layers. Overall…I give it a 5/10. Love the UI. I still use Toonsquid and Adobe Fresco for now.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but those are unrealistic expectations. Try to set for a minimum of 3 weeks/months to prevent burnout and ensure quality control
Your animation turned out awesome considering its been five days. I have been working on an animation and it has been tedious! Im on the coloring stage. I dont think I will animate with Photoshop in the future.
