I swear, these videos always makes me want to start drawing when I’m in no mood too. Thank you for these!

Damn I need to up my gesture drawing game before even attempting some of these

I don't know how you do to do video on such specific theme that are EXACTLY what people struggle with. A lot of video talk about big picture stuff - but you do videos that help on thing people struggle with but no one thought about documenting. A true gem in the KZfaq educational space. This is exactly what I was looking for right now ! I feel like this is a very important thing that I am personally struggling with ( and maybe other too ). Getting that rough pass right is something I just learned was so important in the process - not just some random sketch. Before, I'd use thing like the hipless-stickman and get the motion really right but then totally STUCK once I had to add details. And it really took me a lot of time before realizing that, because I was impatient and solely focused on the motion without thinking of the next step. So this is truly a lifesaver man ! THANK YOU ! And I never feel like I recommended this channel enough T-T

Great video! I think I normally go with the loose style for my first passes. Hats of for creating a animation with each style! Shows how much work you put into your videos!

Man, you totally nailed why my last animation project in Uni (first year) was so tricky and unfun for me. I had been using a sort of F/G hybrid...and for someone that is still trying to understand his life drawing and anatomy....this was really hard. Like, tearfully stressful and restricted how loose i was thinking. I wanted to be loose but i was thinking analytically...which really a problem. Thanks for making this showcase of techniques, I will try working with the simlar methods then perhaps apply F to a later pass.

My goodness you convey weight and momentum so well. Also if you're animating a story board that much the industry should really call it an animatic and even then it sounds like it's almost just doing the rough pass the way you described it. Really silly of them to put that skill on the story board

I love the opening animation, it's so cute 😍

Wow...a Perfect tutorial: comprehensive and concise, immediately useful. Thanks for doing this!

I just want you to know that your content is invaluable. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

i've been studying your expressions lecture and i've been able to draw heads and faces way faster now without feeling so constrained in guidlines. today i'm gettin the hang with poses from this one and i just wanted to say thank you for these! you're awesome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Toniko!!! I really needed this!

most helpful animation video i've seen on youtube so far, thank you

Its fun that he makes incredible animation scketches on the video and finalizes it with stop-motion animation. Great work man, i hope to learn more from you!

Wow this is super helpful, thank you for showing us this and describing each approach

Thank you for taking the time to make this the best you could. I have bad adhd and hearing people pause for too long or be too slow can make lectures impossible to pay attention to, and even in school I often just use textbooks and self teach. You keep your flow going and it helps a lot.

tysm! I draw with cursor so I've faced some struggles with animating. This helped me find my style, and just the way you show yourself drawing everything in this video gave me motivation to start right away! Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it !

These videos really help boost my confidence in animating. I should use these shorthands from now on

Its been years and this taught be something so valueable! I've been doing stikman animation and never tried this shoulder and hips version. This will change my animation forever!

thank you so much this what i really looking for . when animating i'm allways concern with a good drawing rather than story or movement first , really worth it to bought you gumroad video !!

This is exactly the video I was looking for. I wanted to draw quick-to-test animations for my game characters and I'm not good at drawing , most videos on youtube are about drawing really professional art and animator. This video was perfect for me as a game dev.

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for making them. You explain and show things so well and clearly. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to animation and I feel very overwhelmed, I feel like I'm not cut out for this at all. But your videos are really helping.

This is something no one is talking about but I've struggled with for the longest time! Thank you!

I will now study all of these approaches in drawing. This has also definitely opened my eyes and made me feel like animation is a possibility.

Amazing proportions, smooth and clear

I finally found this helpful video! So much of useful information for the beginners.

Great video! Thank you. I really love and appreciate what /how you contribute to the animation community, much love 🙌🙌🙌

Really great works Mister. Thank you for this vidéo, cheers from France.

Thank you for all your work. Very useful!

This is exactly what I needed all this time, Thank you very much, sir)

The into animated puppy is so adorable! 😍

Wow thankyou so much for this lesson! I didn't know how useful it was before i fully watched it :0

E.... animator's delight, directors and assistant animator's nightmare 😂

This was so so great! thanks for this!!

Bruh I’m not the one to say “wow... that is adorable” but that dog in the beginning is just adorable

this really helped me comprehend. great work, comrade

Wow, the ju-jitsu animation is just gorgeous!

Extremely informative and intuitive! Love your animations too :))

Also I'm learning that for some scenes rotoscoping is very useful , particularly hands and emotional gestures

I express my thanks for the video, I have shared in hopes to bring awareness to your guides. Interesting that despite having little knowledge when I was beginning to learn to draw, I have used D, H and F as practice for poses back in 2012.

very interisting! thumbs up for putting so much work on your video

Best video ever it’s shows many different forms and styles for beginners or the more advanced

I unexpectedly learned so much from this video. So glad I clicked, subscribed!

excellent! and you did all of them yourself. Thanks, I learnt something but can't verbally firm up what exactly. More, More!

This is awesome man! I’ve really been studying anaromy and so forth, but have been struggling with a shorthand to produce consistent forms. This helps! 👌🏾

Omg I love to draw and now I'm learning to animate thanks to this video! It feels like I want to animate for my free time

Wow your such a good teacher. Keep it up, you can teach a class of your own.

Great video. I usually do a combination of C & D (arms are sticks while legs are sausages). Sometimes I do E or H

this is really insightful!! thanks for the video!

THANK YOU SO MUCH I FINALLY MADE MY FIRST ANIMATION FROM START TO FINISH

This was so useful! epic :)

AAAA THANK U TONIKOOOOO

Thank you I really love animating and drawing

thank youuuuu really needed that one

this video even made my figure drawing better thank u brow.... subscribed

This video was super helpful! I want to learn how to animate so that I can improve the quality of my videos, and I think that using one of these shorthand methods will make it easier for me to conceptualize the movement and acting! I especially like the "flour sack and sausages" lol

I did the flour sack and sausage method omg it’s so helpful thank you so much

Yeah that's IT. That's the THING. It's so helpfull for going faster and professionnaly. Thank you so much!!!!

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL for what I'm doing RIGHT NOW

Love the content!

Just found your channel I really liked this video it inspired me to working on my style for animation

I tried doing a bit of animation. I did a hybrid of D & F which how I do my illustration works usually; having bad anatomy fundamentals with a dash of perfectionism ended up with me taking upwards of 2 hours for a single panel first pass haha. Maybe I'll explore when I do this again, B & C sounds appealing and fun to do.

As someone who has done martial arts the animation tips sound just about right.

bless YOUR SOUL!! this was very helpful

thank you this information is needed, wonderful.

this video is everything thank you

Yo man, this is really helpful 👌

Great video!

Damn this is the I have been looking for decades

Great content/video

Thank you I'm learnt so much from this

Awesome Video bro.learned a lot

Thanks!

The short hand looks very interesting I am going to practice that style more

Fascinating!

Thanx, good break down.

thanks so much for this great tips

Thanks man that was a big help

심플한 디자인으로 시작! 이것은 놀랍습니다. 섬세한 표현을 재밌게 만듭니다!✍️🙂💭

Thanks for your recomen ❤️

Dang man your stuff just comes alive

As a novice drawer I am confident using approaches D, E, F, H, and I; however, as an animator, the A, B, and C approaches are more comfortable for me to do. I've done storyboards using the Skeleton approach but with the movement and fluidity of H and I because I am very familiar with human and nonhuman anatomy and motion in general. I hope to practice F and G in the future, but only once I have A to E down. Thanks, Tonika Pantoja!

inspire me thank you a lots

Thank you bro for this tutorial

Thx for teaching me how to draw!

Oh man, this must have been SO MUCH WORK

Amazing content

Great great video!

dude thank you

Oh man, you almost scared me when you said you did 'torso then head'. But then you said 'head then torso' is also viable, almost made me think I was do roughs incorrectly.

Thank you so much!!!

subbed! this is amazing thank you!

Nice tutorisl. Thsnk you

thank you so much !!

Cool to know you look into useful martial arts such as BJJ

Thanks!!

Thanks for making this video and sharing your experience on approaches like this! It makes me want to animate and try them all too XD!

Liked and subscribed!!

That intro made my day

I usually do either the contour one or the quick and loose one.

Ty for introducing shorthand to beginners like me 😭 I straight sketching before making it hard to feel the movements.
