@Just1Nora 3 года назад

The raindrops off Totoro's whisker is my personal favorite. I think more rain would have been overdone. You really only need enoug for the suggestion of rain (wisdom from art school...I was the master of "too much" for a while).

@NorthoftheBorder 3 года назад

I agree wholeheartedly--though that may just be because I didn't want to add any more. It also would have been awkard to find more space and not have it all built up in one area

@aerial_silks_hoop 3 года назад

I think a couple rain splashes on the umbrellas would be great and some water droplets on the leaves. Although if I am the one who had to do it, I'd just agree it's perfect as is

@calinguga 2 года назад

to achieve heavier rain i think the raindrops would have to start filling up the empty space in between the characters, which is rather infeasible with this method i reckon. so having to keep the raindrops near surfaces, i think they're the right amount. it looks more like a drizzle than a downpour but it definitely is convincing rain.

Pedantic note: The rain drops would not come from the tips of the umbrella ribs, it would come from the lowest point of the droop in the material between them.

@dothedo3667 3 года назад

Depends on the umbrella I guess. He made them a bit droopier than they really are, so yeah, if they're droopy enough then you're right. For most umbrellas though, the fabric is taut when open and the ribs are longer/lower than the often-inward curve of the fabric edges so the rain drips from the ribs (also since it's taut rain also drips from between those areas too). His umbrellas are more randomly wavy than explicitly droopy, so the rain will drip from many different spots and it's hard to see exactly where because it's hard to see the exact shape. He did put rain dripping from both the cloth and the ribs though, which in general is pretty accurate.

I gotta say: I started binge watching your videos the other day after stumbling upon one of them and falling in love with your humor, editing, and of course the lovely art. I have laughed heartily at each one but every bit of this video had me laughing harder than any other. From the constant mess ups on Totoro, the perfectly timed memes and clips, and then the sudden close up of the horrifying expression on that little girl's face about halfway through and I am over here howling. You've inspired me to pull out my clay again and hopefully one day be even 1/16 as skilled as you are.

@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon 2 года назад

I just found your most excellent channel and this was fantabulous. I have two recommendations for you 1. Using crappy paints first use a gesso layer, it’s a great primer and is cheap to source in the uk, try cowling and willcox on line, sign up for a news letter and keep your eye out for one of their many offers. There are also make your own recipes for it. 2. For applying gloopy pastes such as mud treat yourself to a trip to the pound shop or supermarket and buy icing spatulas and spread your gloop with ease of mind that you are not ruining your brush or likely to encounter make up brushes owners Roth in the future. I found a set from Morrison’s for under £5 which are awesome and a lot cheaper than artist paler knives. They are also really good for mixing paints such as heavy bodied acrylics. I hope these may help. Thank you for sharing your amazing creations you made my night Best wishes Lindz

@atomicwinter31 Год назад

A good paint to use, especially for white, is a thick body acrylic. They're my favorite, since they're super heavy duty. You need the strongest color, able to pile up like mountains? Just use heavy body! It is super thick though, and feels a bit more like oil paint. It's not too expensive either, maybe only 50% more than a standard tube of acrylic, or a little less if you buy the huge tubes.
