Check out my latest tutorial on running an indie anime studio: kzhead.info/sun/pL1rYbpxiJaQq5E/bejne.html
Animator who works on anime here: Generally Black, brown, grey line: Main line Blue line: shadow Green line: 2nd shadow, gradient lines Red line: Highlights, cheek touch, additional touch details or line separations Magenta line: Additional details such as strands of hair, or things that have a different color than the base coloring of the character (mostly used by Kappe who likes to add a million details) As for the filling, called shadow markup Orange/cream: skin color Purple/pink: hair Light Blue: Cloth shading Light green: additional cloth shading, ground shadow shading Bright yellow: Highlight fill As you said it varies depending on the studio and also depending on the animator, someone like Vercreek for example will just use light blue and bright yellow to save time due to his high volume of work While someone like Mahmoud likes to use all of the colors that are on the animation model sheets (I could talk about Japanese animators too but it’s the same for everyone, also since you showed their work I figured it would be a good example to point out since I know both Verc and Mahmoud) Me, I just stick to the standard I layed before and as long as it’s clear and recognizable no one bats an eye Hope that helps
wow.. this is all so helpful
@@DivinityLireok then, I’ll do it for you
@@DivinityLireyou're embarrassing
Thank you for that! This will be useful for a quick reference!
@@DivinityLire Then it's not for your short attention span sadly
As someone who is getting into animation, thi was really helpful!!!! I never knew all this about these colour indecation lines, I thought those get removed even before shadow is added!?
I’ve made follow-up videos to this in the past, but the basic process is when digitizing the drawing, the colored lines are separated onto its own layer and then you just paint over it. Check out the channel NICCA Ch., they have a playlist on their channel of how to do this in Clip Studio Paint, so you should be able to translate that to any program.
Same!!!!
one man team here

My animation instructor claimed these are a waste of time, and he is SOOOO WRONG! These are actually very helpful for coloring animations. Thanks for this awesome, informative video.
1:52 Dozens? mad respect to the artists who can get that look in 12 layers. me out here with unfathmiable amounts of layers
My tablet is struggling at i think around the 15 mark it kicks me out of ibis paint and makes me needa reboot the file again and again so i end up giving up and deleting, I tihnk i usually stay around 10 layers max and just merge my layers.
179 layers in my current project and its just a head so far.
@@ASpaceOstrich im gonna break into your house and merge all your layers while you sleep
@@grqfesim coming with you! i almost always merge my layers when im done with them, so that my layers aren’t hard to find/messy
Hello! i work in the anime industry as an animator , i generally do Layouts and Genga , i would like to mention about the shading and the color fills , those are generally for color separation! and totally depending on character sheets , in Layouts (the rough stage) you can roughly mark the shadows and highlights , your LO then goes to the Enshutsu (episode director) , sakuga kantoku (animation director) , sou sakuga kantoku ( chief AD) , they will make corrections to your LO and draw some of the frames on model of the character designs(the enshutsu check will be more focused on the feel and timing , expression of the cut etc meaning they will make changes to the time sheet etc and instruct specific changes from the sakuga kantoku or production like if they want to reuse a previous asset for a cut etc and the sakuga kantoku's corrections will be more drawing focused!) and then you do the Genga process where you clean even the rest of the frames matching their corrections if you get the cut back for genga if the schedule is good if not it generally goes to ni-gen (second key animation) meaning someone else does clean up for your cut , after this stage it goes to inbetweening (douga) and then Genga sakuga kantoku (Genga AD) and then to the tiedown stage and then coloring department , the colors you fill is more of a production thing rather than a studio thing and can vary production to production and sometimes characters have extra details where you need to use different colors to separate those details from shading and highlights , (shading is generally outlined with blue outline and then filled with whichever color from the sheets , red outline filled with yellow is for highlights) if you look at hiromatsu shuu's fate PV for example they have a very painting esque style and for that they add multiple additional details the genga man and LO artist will have to add when working and those use additional color separation! (additionally when there is no shadows added that is mostly stylistic , it's called Kagenashi かげなし , also just to correct at 9:37 that frame is not a LO frame it's Genga (clean) LO's are generally rough and only few frames are drawn somewhat cleanly! sometimes when they don't draw a certain part of the body and only one part is cleaned and colored that's called an inbetween guide , it's used when you want a specific type of pose so you guide the inbetweener and they'll do the genga for that frame for you! sorry for the long comment i just wanted to confirm a lot of the things so that people dont take away a wrong understanding of few of the things!
whats your twitter? I work on anime too and it would be cool if we can talk
this is such a detailed explanation, thank you!
Wow! What anime’s do u work on?
I've been searching for an explanation of those lines for MONTHS !! To how to use it, the right colors, everything . THANK YOU !!
You can also use diffrent colors to shade in animation aswell! I usually draw the shadow with the shading color and then just fill that color in. It's very convinient for me but i have to plan my pallets XD
Same 😭
I don’t animate, nor am I interested in animating. But here I am
*sobs in beginner frame-by-frame animator* THIS WAS SO DAMN HELPFUL HELLO!? This will surely help my animations look more consistent, thanks a lot!
As a old animation student this should be taught no matter what
As an animator in the industry, I can't fully agree with hair and designs being made easier to animate than illustrations. At this point, designs are becoming so hard to work with that I believe I'm being hired to make moving illustrations unlike western animation productions. I'm very sure you described kagenashi however, I've never really found common instances of shadows being done in post, maybe just gradients but LO is where most shadows will be done. The color selection can differ per studio, yes, but LO is pretty diverse. A lot of other animators can work with dark pencil shading while others use only blue and red (I often draw my BGs with only black to add details like ambient occlusion and more dynamic shadows), some will follow the sheet exactly. It's preference a lot of the time but not during the second key animation stage(ni-gen /二原 *after all the checks are done). Also red is more of color separation, it's easier to work with that in mind. Pretty educative video, wish there were more videos like this and dong chang's back when I started
Thank you for making this video, you explain this concept so well and understandable for a beginner like me❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
How I admire 2d animators especially Japanese animators…they’re really something else
i actualy use these colors and line not just for animation, but i also use for just doing art in general, and it sort of gives the art a realy interesting look to it
This video is so well made it helped me a lot, Thankyou so much!!
Thank you so much!!!
As a multimedia arts student this information is so helpful, tysm!!
I've been planning to do some animations, but. This helps me ALOT!!! You have a new sub!
When you shown the clanned character sheet. My tears came out 😢
I'm learning how to draw right now and its been kinda rocky lol but you def gave me the motivation to keep trying, i really loved this video!!!
thank you so much man. keep up the good work
AS one who wants to start an animation channel THANK YOU SM! I've been looking for info like this and you have provided thx!
Thank you very much! I always wondered how they make the gradient effect keeping it cohesive.
Glad to see clannad in there briefly ❤
i finally understand everything. THanks you so much!! i thought most of the colour should be using in every special spot while drawing Anime. now i clear my mind set. ONce again, *Thanks you so much!*
As someone who was confused what the lines were for,thank you for showing up on my yt homepage❤❤
As an aspiring animator who is somewhat intimidated by all this symbols for animation, this is really helpful! Could you do another video too about the box for camera panning, like the one at 10:13?
Wow this is so helpful!! Thamk you for making this video!! and if you know about the anime compositing can you make another video about the compositing process?
Very useful video, thank you!!
I'm actually looking for this kind of guide. Thank you for the information; it's a big help for me.
As an amateur casual cartoon animator (I think), I find this strategy of implementing highlights genuinely intriguing
I less interest in making animation before, after saw this I'm thinking to start learn it again. Thank you for the short guide, means a lot to me :)
Gracias por subtitular tus videos, me subscribí automaticamente :)
Best guide ever like a layer/outline guide
No one's talking about him dropping sauces everytime he uses a clip from any anime?
Not an animator, but after learning this, may try using it in my artworks. After all, it does get messy on high rendered artworks at a certain point.
1 mathematical theorem, 4 colors is suficient to fill a map
Amazing video
great video! helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
Now I’ll no longer suffer in coloring processes
“As a” person who got logged out of his friends crunchyroll account and had been binge watching all AOT seasons…that’s about it. Keep up the good work🤙
In my first animation (just finished), I didn't use any shadow or highlight colors, but I believe it would make the process easier. I'll try incorporating them next time.
Right when i wondered that, I clicked home. and found this video. TYSMMMM❤
OH MY GOD ITS CLANNAD!!!!!!

That's very helpful
I am watching this on an iPad. With the exact thing you were advertising lmao!!!
As a person who wants to do more animation projects, this is pretty cool. I sometimes used colored lines for shadows/lighting, but never really knew the specifics about it. I’m experimenting with new animation apps and haven’t really seen the one at 8:41 (that could just be me). What app is it so I can check it out?
I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.
looks like clip studio paint ex on an ipad!
I primarily draw on an iPad and I heard you mention that you primarily animate with an iPad. I really want to become an animator, so I was wondering what programs you recommend. I primarily draw with Procreate and I've been dabbling in Procreate dreams, however Procreate Dreams is very new and is missing many features. I'm just hoping that you can give me some recommendations. Thank you!
As someone who has dabbled in animation as a casual hobby in Clip Studio Paint this was fascinating. I don't think I could ever be a full-fledged animator, partly because my brain gives a 404 error whenever I try to figure out After Effects. Lol
Looks so hard but.. i respect for those who make it
I'm going to be an animator and designer (basically anime desinger and animation maker. I hope so.. this is my dream) and I'm wondering one thing, How can I make anime animations? Uhh well, Is there an app you can recommend? Where can I start first for making and designing anime animations? I hope you reply. You would have helped me a lot. ✨️ Edit: (I don't have an iPad, can I make anime from PC? Or is there an animation & design application for the computer that you can recommend?)
eres un grande, gracias por hacer este video. si entiendo ingles solo que me cuesta escribirlo jajaja
0:21 yo thats me i asked that 😂😂😂
Im still using purple to shade lol
Yep
my favorite
Haha jokes on you......Loving Vincent actually challenged these standard animation rules. Kidding!
Entirely different process and vision for Loving Vincent, but I understand what you mean.
Oh I've seen u on tiktok haha
I QAS LATE FOR THE PREMIERE NAUURRR Its ok ill just watch it 💔 Im gonna comments my thoughts throughout the video
Need a vid on why ufotable never misses
How did you turn your iPad into a second display and how did you use after-effect on it?
What coloured lines do they use in lighting scenes?
Japan land of Animation, It is not only superior in animation compared to the rest of the world, but also in narrative, direction, soundtrack, characters, VA...everything.
Muito boa as dicas !
I'm still kinda lost on some things mentioned in the video, some terminology being one of the few things. Is there a set order or structural outline? Still really enjoyed the video. I'm mostly an outsider/noob when it comes to art and animation.
Wait for my next video
I enjoyed this. I lol at the part where you say purple as a shadow choice is somehow bad. All of the best painters and artists use purple/blue like hues to paint shadows instead of black. Great artsy intuition if you chose it on your own!
lol the amount of beginner artists that get bullied for only using purple on a multiply layer 😅 we gotta break the mold, cuz I also really love the color purple.
I have a question that's a bit off-topic from the main focus of this video, but I've been searching for an answer for quite some time without success. At 4:32, there are letters (A, B, C...) accompanied by numbers, and I'm curious about their purpose and how they work. Could you please explain that?
Watching this knowing my team only consists of me lol *le sigh
i already know this but ima watch this anyway
Can u make tutorial of this in alight motion thank you
"One of those people who used purple to shade and set it to multiply" What does that mean? Did you stop? Is this frowned upon?
It’s a long-standing meme in the art community that if you shade *everything* with purple, then you’re an “amateur artist”, same with the idea that “amateurs only shade with black”. In reality, that bit of gatekeeping shows up less and less, so it was more of a meme for the older gen artists that follow me (I’m old, haha)
3:37 IS THAT STOLAS???? I must've been dreaming😧
Helluvaboss/Hazbin Hotel animator videos about compositing and animation are incidentally some of the best vids for finding little tidbits of wisdom. Like how you learn that they animate the glow of the eyes separately, or that Stolas’s cape is a green screen during production.
do you know wich program they used to animate invincible?
What animation app do u use, that looks portable if it’s running in iPad!
I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.
Can you explain what is the letters in the animation?
dang
as someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder, i can use these tips to make things clear for other members of my "team". I can see this being useful if you have severe memory problems, as well!
Do you have to use blue and red for highlights and dark?
I’m specifically talking about the Japanese anime pipeline, this is specific to what they usually use. If you’re a solo animator, do whatever you’d like with whatever colors you like. 👍
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thanks just got confused
How many animes could an animator animate if an anime animation could animate animators? (for those who don't get it, it's like the "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood" tongue twister)
wait what is wrong with shading purple + multiply? like i know it didnt always work out but?
It’s been the butt of the joke for the artist community for decades as “amateurish”, with people being really vile against beginner artists because they “didn’t know color theory” or “need to learn to shade skin properly” or some other bs like that.
What app is this
Thanks for explaining but installing f's plugin are so complicated
I use a color selection method in HitFilm to get around this, or I go the extreme route and just use transparent PNG’s instead, since I can’t really afford After Effects or Photoshop
I see Akane, I like
Why rough animation always looks blinking?
Because you don’t need to draw 30+ finished drawings if you’re only drawing rough drafts. At the rough stage you only need to draw the keyframes and not every drawing until the final lineart stage.
Hey what software do you use on ipad for animation?
I use Clip Studio Paint EX on the iPad Pro.
I'm also planning to animate on the ipad so just one last thing, can you make industry standard or similar animation on CSP on ipad?
@whatTheblue it has been very publicly shown through various KZhead videos online like from Crunchyroll, Mappa, and even during the production of recent shows like God of High School or Oshi ni Ko that iPads (and Clip Studio Paint) are being used in production.
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Wow that's great. Thank you
That's why ufotable is goat , fate stay night is clean af , can't wait for one punch man season 4 to be animated hahahah
What type of software do you use
!csp
Why do some of the line art disappear on playback
I’ve answered this in a TikTok, but during the layout/1st key step, you don’t have to draw every single frame, especially for parts that do not move. You’ll see this a lot especially with looping motion, where part of the animation stays still while another part moves. That way, the next animator knows which parts to draw that are or are not moving for those frames.
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations thanks for confirming what I thought. Just put me at ease
I am confused about something, as a solo animator why would you need all this colour code? Wouldn't it make the work redundant and waste you your time since only you, are managing all the process? Please it's a genuine question
I’ll make this as simple as possible for you : 1) If I skip a few steps and go straight to the “final results”, but then realize that I made major mistakes in anatomy or timing, then I would have to go back and redo my work all over again, and sometimes this takes even MORE work, and MORE time to fix. Better to just do a rough pass, fix mistakes ahead of time, and then you will have a better finished animation. This is quite literally how anime studios and even western animation studios ensure quality control. 2) If I am familiar with, and have personally animated my way through the entire animated production pipeline, then in the future, when I am teaching new team members, I am able to oversee every part of the process because I was once in their shoes. Plus, as a Director, you SHOULD be familiar with every part of the process. This is not optional, there have been multiple in the anime projects that have failed simply because the Director did not understand parts of the process. You’re assuming that this is wasting time, but in actuality, I am not only working faster this way, but my animations turn out way better, and I am gaining the necessary skills to run my indie studio.
Personally I find the color coding necessary to keep track of how I originally wanted my animations to look, especially when it gets more detailed. Animations take time, and sometimes I forget things
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations Thank you for clarifying that!
So it's not obvious that the line are literally just where the shading will be? heh already knew the green line was a gradient before told
Fun fact, I once asked TikTok and IG why it wasn’t common sense that the red and blue lines are where the shading would be. Immediately got like 5000+ comments calling me condescending, an asshole, people saying it’s not common sense (mostly non-animators, which wasn’t my intended audience). So yeah, apparently it’s not obvious 😂
@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations bruh people are dumb WHAT. it prob isn’t obvious if you’re not an animate or artist ig
Looking at the animation and the work in progress reveals that simple thing lmao
