Full Walkthrough of Animation with PS CS4

[crimsonpatty]

How do you export them?

[richiegonzalez1995]

what photoshop are u useing because i dont have animation on the photoshop i have please respond.

[14tetsuya]

@richiegonzalez1995 He's using photoshop cs4

[KAsilversnow]

@richiegonzalez1995 click: 'window' and then go down and find 'animation' c:

[kaimaster10]

you made the outline with the pencil tool? please answer me :)

sorry for my bad english,i'm argentinian ...oh! and are you using a tablet or the mouse?

[konoichi318]

oops nvm...so focused on you drawing that i wasn't paying attention to you words.

[konoichi318]

what size brush do you use to refine your sketch as the final frame?

[Konokou]

I'm sorry, but the little blinking message down at the bottom commanded my full attention throughout the entire video XD

[TheNoirNinja]

I'm having trouble with the frame rate, after rendering my animation and clicking the video for it, there seems to be some missing frames in the video and so the animation looks choppy... have you had that problem before? and if so what did you do?

Btw great video, it was very helpful. (:

[iPhoneanime]

It took you 2hours to do a three second clip!!! Why aren't you in a studio already

[Kurasshu88]

Do you add the sounds, music, etc on windows movie maker or a different program? :d

[themrjosueful]

you are using tablet

[Gahanun]

2:05 I laughed so hard. "Who said I was an artist?" :D

[ak4x6]

@klFiretears Can you please tell me what the difference is between flash and photoshop, wich is better to make animations?

[LuluLABz]

How did you guys even decide to do something like this? It's such a big undertaking. It came out great!

[warlocklightning1000]

For a tablet do u have to download a software on it to draw

[MachiKonjoSama]

@warlocklightning1000 You can download a software if you have a preferred one but it can work at any software(ea. Photoshop, Paint, GIMP, SAI) and it can even function as a mouse. Though you have to install a software so you can use a tablet on your computer, luckily, it usually comes with the tablet when you buy it.

It's sometimes called a Pen and Touch Tablet/Slim Tablet/Drawing Tablet/etc.

^_^ Hope that helped.

(I had that kind of questions too when I was looking for my tablet.. ^_^')

[CODEDknights]

@warlocklightning1000 i have a tablet, and i normaly comes with a disc, install it, then you get extra tips how to use it ect ect. you could draw without installin the disc ^_^

[SkipDent]

Thanks so much for the walk through! Just found you videos and I was like, "how do they do this??" Then bam! There it is. I didn't even know I could do this with CS! (:

[kristalnaruto]

okay, but how is it possible to draw like that? where to learn from?

[uchiha525]

amazing shit, basically, i would have to get someone to do a lineart for me and copy it and adjust the hair and arms for some movement cause im not the best artist but ive made linearts and colored manga before, but i get the general concept and realize how much time it takes to even do a 15 second clip takes hours lol, so sick xD

[XBlader199]

You are an artist. 

[Aiijuin]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL! I've been working with PS4 for five years and have been wracking my brains trying to supplement my animation techniques with expensive programs like ToonBoom and such only to realize that there is an animation section in PS. Great work, by the way. Thank you again for sharing!

[earthfire10]

woah your smoke effects are absolutely amazing!

[KidDarknessBboy]

Nice video. I can't believe a great art like this can be made of Pencil tool instead of Brush and Pen Tool. You're using a Tablet?

[IAMSKINJA]

@melendr3z i think he uses a tablet

[AlphaTaleJ216]

Um how'd you get that thing at the bottom in like 7:19. The thing that plays all the scenes you made?

[Melendr3z]

do u hav a touch screen comp or do u use ur mouse to sketch??

[novacharizardgirl]

@Melendr3z He most likely uses a Tablet like most artists do, which is a cool device that you can 'draw on' , and it comes up on the computer screen.

[WhatIsThatThing100]

I feel stupid about asking this but in PS, a new layer is a new frame?????

[vioretlenne8]

OMG! Awesome! Can I marry your skill?

[darthjay13]

how do u get ur lines so SMOOTH! mine in freehand are kinda jagged. :/

[dragonxanimation]

what tablet do you use

[darthjay13]

is there a tutorial out there that teaches how to draw good?

[dragonxanimation]

126.5 mb :o i thought it was just a 6 second clip lol imagine the whole 19 minute movie

[darthjay13]

would you know if it would be a similiar method for gimp 2.6? i refuse to get free version of photoshop.

[NovaTazuna]

just asking a siimple question, how did u get that background to suddenly drop in?

[mrbunnylovespancake1]

good job :) 

[lahhtoota]

Does you think Brush is better then pencil??? what's different between about them??

answer please >_<

[psych09111]

@lahhtoota When you use the "Brush", and you want to paint all the drawing you made with the "Paint Pot" will have some imperfections all around of the stroke because the brush have transparence. And that doesn't happen with the "Pencil", allowing to paint the drawing with more ease

[MrDatNYkid]

Plzzzz make a Naruto vs Sasuke

[pelagja112]

hi u wanted to know how to make the kubiyu effect well just get the laso tool and fill it in with red make sure the other ones black and go to render and press fibers

[NastyVomeX]

So that's how Sasuke looks like when he's bald...

:(

[Vitharrlax]

awesome man!



[razvantnc]

I saw the entire episode...

now: you ARE an artist.

[kungfuremix]

Man after watching so many walkthroughs from different people including your own which is by the way really good :) I can see its alot of fun and I want to try it so I was wondering if PS Extended CS5 Student & Teacher Edition is a good one to use for animation such as this one? Also, i was wondering after finishing the video with PS do you send it online or you use Flash 8 or something esle? What do you use them for?

[sasukekun510]

PS=Photoshop??



[chidogan89]

hey how did you do the dust flying around?

[TheKPStudios]

Haha I had the video in full screen and when I was done watching I tried to exit using the "X' in the video....boy did I feel dumb.. hah ^^

[PeaceMazter]

WoOW.

That was an amazing tutorial man, really liked it, and i also learned how to render it and still keep the quality "AWESOME", thanks a lot man.

Check out ma channel, will ya?!

THANKS!

[mrcrysis456]

Why can't I find the pencil tool? All I find is the pen tool

[DoomedCarrot]

could this work for photoshop elements 5.0?

[NovaTazuna]

wat is your pencil brush preset?

[ozone495]

KL your work is epic if you have the time could you check out my work

on deviant art

ozone495

i want to animate it if i ever get good at animation like u and symton

[ozone495]

KL your work is epic

[Leonko17]

woah 2 hours 40 minutes to make animation wow you are amazing

[Noablarenglish]

7:38 Naruto- The middle age years!

[andrewc905]

omg! your sketches are amazing!

[Pagatcha]

wow Kevin!!!!!!

[phantomtrucks56]

why dots?

[Lionard10]

i downloaded the psd file and saw that the lines on the frames r thiner u didn't show that on the video how did u do it?

and, thanks.

[Lionard10]

@klFiretears pls answer :(

[wabi777]

i loved this tutorial. it was informative and funny. good job i love the end message . "deleted scene FTW" lmao favs :)

[glez38]

sweet tutorial dude

it was fairly simple xD

lol

thanks alot kevin :P

[abazou]

wow this is awesome, are all your animations 24 fps?

[TheLostComet]

this is pissing me off how the fuck do you get the transperant layer to go over a white layer its fucking pissing me off!!!!!!!!

[JoeyGirsang]

do you sketch using the mouse or do you have some drawing pad?

[AnarUtoVerse]

wooooow it's so difficult draw sasuke!

[Zkarts]

I can't work with Flash anyway so I'll stick to Photoshop anyhow, even more so now. I also just realised I need a better tablet. Does your tablet show what's on your screen as well? And I believe I noticed some small lightning around his hand? Did you do that the same way as the lightning tutorial? And where do you get your backgrounds?? Loads of questions, I know. I want to take a shot at a bigger animation as well. I must not forget to note that you're epic and Part 1 ws epic :D Keep it up!

[DaSicWun]

you should make your own anime

[adilnarutoable]

that was amazing. Requires a lot of hardwork and dedication. Keep up the good work!

[13crazypeople]

One person doesn't know how to animate {Cheesy smile}

[456sasuk3]

haha bald sasuke is ugly

[fairiha23]

DO YOU USE A WACOM TABLET???

[dontel2009]

thats awsome how did you get the sound effects

[dontel2009]

thats awsome how didy ou get the sound effects

[stelthninja99]

where did u get the naruto background, or did u make it?

[snjorRefur948]

i really don't get most of the things. but i know one thing..YOU ARE AMAZING! but may i ask one thing, what photoshop is that? CS4? cause I'm planning on using one.

[Mirani97]

I saw this on Part one dude, how could it be a deleted scene.

Great job though!

[flamedc00kie]

Deleted scene? Didn't I just see this in Part 1? :)

Great work, klFiretears!

[adir26203]

omg pro!

[GeneralAsmodeus]

obby this tutorial is hot

[Wildwarriorclan]

you are now my favourite person

[xxxtherobberxxx]

one question do you draw whit the mouse?

[NViES]

@xxxtherobberxxx no, he has a wacom tablet...

[Wildwarriorclan]

@xxxtherobberxxx hes probably using a tablet if you watch how he is drawing the sketch

[rexfurry]

So this is the process creating an anime, well a slight glimpse of it I suppose. I've always wondered how to get an anime type animation up and running starting from the beggining to the end. And you've pretty much given me an inside look at it all so thank you, I greatly appreciate it. And an added bonus with the commentary, great video!

-rex ^)^

[GeneralAsmodeus]

@rexfurry Oh, I know what you mean there! He's probably one of the most useful here with tutorials on animation. ^^

[orangepanda64]

lol

[orangepanda64]

in had no idea u were asian

[666Makkura666]

To be honest. Your sketches are way better than any of my finished drawings

[ChipChunk11]

hey i have a question, do you use your mouse to draw, or do you have a tablet?

[iBeAxle]

@klFiretears Its always RGB and it doesnt do it.

[WilltheBroker]

Can i do that with PS Cs2?

[mastertape1]

wow that was amazing tutorial !! there a lot of things i even didn'know !!by the way your voice has changed again , how did you change it because it sounds really good :))

[klFiretears]

@mastertape1 I don't do anything with it .____. Maybe I just positioned the mic differently.

[juay1963]

Did you use a tablet for this or did you just use the mouse?

[descreto]

Is it just me or did your voice change?

[ARCoolguy]

Thanks this really helps

you guys just seem to get better and better leaving the rest of us in the dust

[itachi3399]

wow !!!! you are awesome !!!!!! ^^

[shompie1]

Thank you :D

[Kiffraji]

Your talent is just blinding. And you make it look so easy!

I'm super excited to see KvS - like, I would skip school to wait for the release excited. Did I hear you say that it's being released in 2 parts?

[klFiretears]

@Kiffraji I''d be too long to released in one video. We're still editing and finalizing several scenes tho, part one will be up sometime tomorrow if we are lucky.

[nairad100]

@klFiretears it WAS one video, and this scene WAS in it.

[AniMagination15]

dude you continuously inspire me to animate, you nick, and pasha have done amazing work, great job! :)

[17rolando]

simplemente voy a decir OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHH DIOS MIOOObuen video

[maxoid101]

messy is good.

just to let you know :)

[TeamToonz1]

xD dont your parents trip out on how much time you spend on that computer xD btw a little tip that worked with me when i wanted to loop an animation in Photoshop and make it flow smoothly you get all your layers from the animation window click add new layer and it would copy all the layers selected in the animation window and copy them select the copied layers then in the options of the animation window click reverse layers and it would make the animation flow a lot smoother xD it worked for me

[Nicro327]

You should split your awesomeness into equal pieces so we can all have some.

[FiendofDA]

freaking awesome! your a talented individual!

[Sparky4hollow]

amazing work :D

[Pauratagashi22]

<3 Ooooh, a tutorial that shows start to finish! I can't wait to try this out on some stuff <3

[Nicro327]

It from kindergartner sketch to professional anime animation right in front of my eyes and I still don't understand `\(O.o)/`

[suckmydoodoodo]

What Pc do you use

[SoarKrieg]

CHRIST, you draw and animate a damn near perfect replica of a Naruto fight in Photoshop??!! Its amazing what enough time and practice can help you accomplish!

[FinalJinchuuriki]

OF COURSE! Why didn't I think of that earlier! You are a hero KL! "Static" parts layer...DURH! (BTW, just saw "P1") Good job :D

[pokemoncrocs2000]

are u using a tablet for the sketches?

[allenallenallen333]

I saw this video on my subscription list, and then I clicked on it. Before the video starts, I pause it. Then I favorited, liked, added to watch later, added to my playlist of awesome videos, and shared it to Facebook. Finally, I start to watch the video.

[thybearman]

looks like sasuke is giving a free handy

[JoekaProductions]

What about the light that would affect his face?

[EmptySound3424]

You know, I really envy and admire you. I can draw, but I cannot animate whatsoever. Your work is truly amazing, and I watch all the vids that are in my subscription box. Keep doing what your doing, and I promise, you'll get noticed. (if already haven't been.)

Sincerely, Morgan

[NarutoDude96]

damn, you should be an animator for Shippuden.

[iBeAxle]

Do you have a certain setting on there? I mean, when I select a color from on document, it doesnt transfer to the other

[klFiretears]

@iBeAxle That's strange, my selected colors remain even if I close out from files...Have you checked the file mode? Image>Mode>RBG color

[iBeAxle]

OMG I CANT BELEVE THIS IS HAPPENING

!!!!!!!

[itachithedarkcrow]

VERY NICE!!

[aree93]

Dude, I know you get this question a lot but when's the fight done? I'm just wondering, no pressure

[klFiretears]

@aree93 Very soon. Let's say, tonight maybe.

[Nicro327]

@klFiretears Ugh I have a problem. When I make strokes with the pencil tool the line looks really grainy do you know how to fix that? Like... You can clearly see the pixels so it sort of looks like I'm drawing with ms paint. I dunno how to fix it.

[Nicro327]

@Nicro327 Nvm I just had to bump up the resolution

[14tetsuya]

@klFiretears ur not an artist hahaha that funny

[dragonxanimation]

@14tetsuya yes he is retard i know your not better than him

[14tetsuya]

@dragonxanimation no in the video he joked and said he wasn't an artist an i said he's funny for even szying that cause he's a really good artist i mean have you seen the dudes deviantart page?

[dragonxanimation]

@14tetsuya oh sorry ikr his drawings are like 10000 times better than mine

[14tetsuya]

@dragonxanimation you can say that again i'm coming along but it will be a while before i'm satisfied with my animating skills

[dragonxanimation]

@14tetsuya cant wait to see them in maybe a year

[14tetsuya]

@dragonxanimation thx i hope you become a great pivot animator (tip: i used flash 8 it was way better)

[dragonxanimation]

@14tetsuya i dont really like pivots lol i had that for 2 years on my computer and i found it and uploaded it i im still learning how to use photo shop this tablet thing is weird im more use to drawing or painting on paper

[14tetsuya]

@dragonxanimation ya its different thats for sure if its to hard you can scan them then trace them on photoshop

[dragonxanimation]

@14tetsuya thats what ive been doing im trying to learn all the cool things and effects you can do with photoshop cs5 like the glowing of the chidori of making realistic fire

[14tetsuya]

@dragonxanimation with photoshop anything is possible

[topknot01]

Thx alot for this.

[TheHappiestFerret]

when you have finished your animation do you shrink it or keep it the same size?

[klFiretears]

@TheHappiestFerret I shrink it when I set the video size in the export settings

[fabian180graus]

thanks kevin! i was waiting for this XD

[solenoo]

I love your animations but this time I didn't like the chidori effect cause it looked like the wind was making it move.

[DigimonFan99]

I liked the old bald sasuke :D

[LongFingered]

how? HOW are you this awesome?!

[petar930814]

what do you use to record ?

[ALDOGMO13]

@petar930814 probably camstacia studio

[VegethPower]

15:16 O_O

[Xatlox]

Around 12:15 you take the time to paste all the layer styles one by one, I don't know if you allways do it like that but when I want to copy one layer style into multiple layers I just mark those layers and paste the layer style to all at the same time (It won't save you much time, maybe a few seconds but still :P)

[klFiretears]

@Xatlox It's for the people who don't know that :p

[Xatlox]

@klFiretears haha ok :P, People should remember that, it's some "MLG" tips right there xD

[Error500animations]

Amazing process, very useful. I just finished my first animation using some of your techniques. They make life easier for animator, yet entertaining for the view. Once again, great job, cant wait to see more from you.

[senbonzakuratenshou]

The dirt doesn't move at all .-.

It just stays at one place on him, even when the clothes go over it o-o

JUST SOME CnC

Epic as always.

[klFiretears]

@senbonzakuratenshou I'm lazy:p

[senbonzakuratenshou]

@klFiretears TISK TISK. Looking forward to the animation ;3

That is if i don't smash my head against the wall because of the unmoving dirt :>

[zigdab]

what editor is this and is there download link because i need it bad

[VegethPower]

You're really awesome, this tutorial helped me a lot! Please can you share with us your own color key?

[klFiretears]

@VegethPower It's for the purpose of kvs only. I'm ridding of it afterwards <<;

[VegethPower]

@klFiretears Ok and one last thing: is it fine if the size of my project are 5000x2813 with the pencil of 3 pixels? (before resizing to 1280x720 of course)

[klFiretears]

@VegethPower The quality would probably be the same if you resize the final product.

[ragnarok70]

very AWESOME dude!

but, i need to ask, you use a digital tablet or just a mouse & keyboard?

I ask because i have a digital tablet, and you inspired my to do a lot of things in the future....when i have some time to do it xD

Anyway, your AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[klFiretears]

@ragnarok70 A tablet C:

[ragnarok70]

@klFiretears C: , i suppose that i got a lot to learn xd

[MisdermeanerJ]

STOP BEING AWESOME.

JUST STOP IT.

[klFiretears]

@MisdermeanerJ NEVAAAA

[MisdermeanerJ]

@klFiretears DAMN YOU.

[MisdermeanerJ]

@klFiretears DAMN YOU. WELL AT LEAST SHARE IT.

[MegaSaiyanking]

very cool. but how do you add sound effect.

[klFiretears]

@MegaSaiyanking You use a video editing program like Windows Movie Maker
