July 18, 2020 : BaM Animation – Industry Tips From Pros

I recently stumbled on a cool YouTube Channel, BaM Animation, which feature two animation artists (Brent and Maximus) discussing their craft. It stays pretty technical, which I enjoy, but is still presented in a fun way.

The video below talks about how to make clean lines with digital drawing tablets and Cintiq’s.

The part on tablet exercises was very nostalgic. Back when I was still using my Wacom, I always found looking at the monitor but drawing on the tablet very jarring. I did similar exercises daily to get more used to the process. It’s good to know I wasn’t off base with my use of time.

As for the channel, there are several other videos I highly recommend – including character design and coloring. They also give shout outs to other channels about animation they appreciate, which has lead me to more material to watch… because, you know, I have all this time.
