1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful. 

Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha

i’m sorry i phoned it in but this is how i do literally every single shiny metallic surface. another tip is to add surface detail to something just so that you can pin highlights to it, that way you’re not faced with a big blank space to fill up

and to be honest, you can bullshit 99% of these armour embossing designs. i mean look at them. i didn’t even make them symmetrical. their only purpose is to help define the form

my last step is usually to go ham panting over the lines. most of what u see in a finished image is me having painted over the lines (u can see that clearly on the pendant). u can see in this one that i disregarded my lines in a lot of places and just kinda freestyled it.but u can also see that i place the highlights right up against the dark bits. this armour was very shiny so those dark bits are reflections rather than shadows (i guess?)
