Gesture Drawing AND 2D Animation Practice at the SAME TIME! (Using Blender)

Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you

I really wanna thanks to all the sponsors that make these videos possible

Thank you Marco for these awesome videos. I don't know why the algo hasn't been getting your video to your sub base of nearly 1 million people. I only found out about these new uploads by virtue of your community post and looking back only to go "oh WOW there ARE videos that I haven't seen here."

I love the thumbnail! I knew INSTANTLY that it was Dr Doppler and exactly what scene it was from, THAT'S how good Sergio is 😂❤

So much to learn dernit! Blender's gonna be a grind like no other... all worth it of course.

All of your content has helped me so much, especially now that I've actually started working on a slightly more serious short animation.
Thank you!

The way you break down the information and explain not just what you're doing but why you're doing it is unmatched imo. Thank you for making these tutorials, I've learned so much from you over the years.

I'm happy that they upgrated grease pencil to make animation 2D in Blender.

THIS IS SO PERFECT!!!!!! You explain everything so wonderfully and clearly!!!

Glad to see blender for animation in action. I'm learnig blender right now (after three failed attempts in the past, thanks to that donut no one gets right, ever... now with better learning material) and it's super fun! I'm going to try this for sure. Cheers!

This makes more sense than any book could explain.

First of all, I need to learn how to draw

Shouldn't Blender make Images as Planes like default these days, they had like 20 years.

That third drawing of Dr Doppler looks to me to have his screen left shoulder down and the screen right side up, but that's just an opinion, I love your videos. I did want to add a way to think about the hips or shoulder position when one can't be seen... They generally oppose each other in tilt, if one side is down on one the same side will usually be up on the one you cant see. The same for twist if the right shoulder is forward the right hip will twist to the rear.

Man I was always so confused by how people were deciding what the action line was. Might be my neurodivergence but it just wasn’t obvious to me. This video and the last one really clarified that for me.

As a blender guy the second half was an added bonus

DUDE I WAS LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS AND I WAS WATCHING VIDEOS AND CAME ACROSS THIS ONE TYSM

Damn, Marco - I have always heard people talk about how Blender is useful for 2D animators, but I never saw it used like this. I'm sure it's not a big secret or anything, but I always appreciate the way that you incorporate these little tech tips into your videos like this - otherwise I would be stuck forever selecting and importing individual image references into Gimp or more likely, just pulling it up in another window. This is way more intuitive (at least at first glance, though I may feel different once I actually get a chance to try uploading a folder full of images into Blender 😅).

can have a ton of things going on, I will always stop for Marco's videos

Great video! I should have to try this myself!

I would argue that it might be possible to glean insight into timing for animation by studying this way, if you take the time to pay attention to the reference animation. You could make notes on how long certain actions take and how long they're held, and discover the rhythm of timing and spacin. If you did a gesture drawing of a dynamic quick fight scene, you'd also find out that certain actions have near instant timing, and even multiple actions bundled into single beats.

I love you man

i was stuck with my animations today... and they I saw this video? is this fate?

Foreshortening in perspective please sir......❤❤❤

Attention former Disney/Bluth animators - THIS is how you teach this stuff!! Thank you Marco for your hard work. I honestly hope more animators come out of the shadows and show us their process - from rough gesture to tie down. We want to see this!!

I Love Marco Bucci

Love these animation vids, thank you Marco. MORE VIDS tackling this topic please

Legendary Marco

Hello bro bro bro bro bro bro bro❤........

Hi Marco, which course do you recommend for Gesture drawing or animation ?

I learned about C and S curves from Mike Mattesi.

It's incredible how this content can awaken the inner creator in each of us!🎨

Just delighted with your talent and content quality! Each of your videos is a real work of art! 🎨✨
