Animate Eren and Mikasa from Attack on titan



 

Since it was a Sunday holiday, I hurriedly decided to animate the characters Eren and Mikasa, from Attack on Titan anime. I had been thinking about moving them for a long time, but I didn't have the opportunity, but here it comes!


Download the software used from Here


Perhaps the reason is that it is the last season of the anime, and it is like a small farewell to the mighty work, and I until the moment only finished the first part, and I will try to complete watching the rest of the parts.


  • Duration: 3 hours and a half

  • Program: Toon Boom Harmony

  • Tablet: One by Wacom

  • Montage: Filmora

  • Background: studio clip





The first thing I did as usual was a quick sketch, which was something I relied on to help me in drawing later, and I also placed the two characters' pictures close to the drawing board, in order to make sure that all the details related to the features of the face and the clothes were captured.


I drew Eren in a layer of his own, and Mikasa in a layer alone, in order to erase any errors without affecting the other character, then I merged the two layers together, so that I could paint afterwards, but before going the coloring step I had to erase the overlapping lines, and you will see This is evident in the video.


When we resort to the traditional animation "Frame by Frame", here we have to draw the whole character with a single plate or layer.


Then came the coloring phase, and unfortunately, Toon Boom Harmony program makes it difficult for me to color sometimes if there is a small hole, so I constantly had to close them all before starting to fill in the drawing, after that I was able to color with ease, and the best thing is that I finished with one color On all drawings, then moved to the next color and finished with it, and so on.




For information, I did not add many details, because I was in a hurry, and I did not want to take a long time to finish a simple scene like this, for this reason I dispensed with adding the lines on the shoulders, for example, on the edges of the jacket and so on, and I focused more on moving Mikasa Correctly, the movement took some thought from me regarding how to make her embrace Eren while she was jumping slightly, with her hair falling, so that it appears that the other character is affected by the movement as well, and she got exactly the movement as I wanted it.

Always draw the eyes and the pupil in a separate layer, so that I control the eyes without affecting the character, such as making the eyes blink. But with the Move Tool.

Overall I am happy that I was able to do this in a few hours, and I am trying to improve my skills so that I finish moving faster and with greater quality.
