Finchwing Draws: Levitate - OC speedpaint
updated
In this one I talk about my recent dig into looking for a pet cat, which I've been putting off for years n years. I just kinda waffle on about how it's been a beautifully overcomplicated affair due to some circumstances.

I did a bit of rough animation for Lackadaisy for a few months back in 2020, here's what I did! It was very cool to have a hand in this project and the team was so goddamn talented and lovely, I'm so glad the final film is finished and turned out so good ToT

$10 Coupon code: Finch
TourBox sponsored me to check out their hotkey controller, the TourBox Neo, for artists and creators! A tool like this can make your workflow a lot quicker and more seamless as all your most commonly used hotkeys can be set in one place, easily accessible with one hand.
It acts as a more intuitive option instead of keyboard shortcuts, with buttons, dials and wheels to use for stuff like brush sizing, zooming, undo, different tools etc.
It's a really nifty lil tool and I can see it being extra useful for people with uncomfortable keyboard access or trouble remembering shortcuts.
Sorry if the editing is a bit naff in this, I was testing out new video editing software to maybe transition to (Davinci Resolve). Also sorry for another sponsor video, I've joined a couple of maprojects so those should be my next projects to come in the future!

Animating to audio in Clip Studio Paint:
youtu.be/fSO8gyU5lAQ
In this video I go over how to navigate animating in Clip Studio Paint and create a lil animation to showcase it. I hope you like it!
You guys have probably heard of this program a lot recently (I hope) it's taken the artist community by storm bc of it's versatility and the sheer amount of STUFF it can do, with such a low price tag for software.
CELSYS, the guys who made Clip Studio Paint, came to me to sponsor a video about the program and I was so chuffed ;o; I've used CSP for maybe half a year now and I adore it, and using it to animate for the first time was such a delight. I was more than happy to make a video with it!! I hope you enjoy!

Bit of a different one today, BenQ sent me a FANCY LAMP to review and I'm all about my tech and desk setup at the mo so was very happy to oblige! Funnily enough I had bought myself a new lamp about a month before I was contacted by BenQ, as my desk room is very badly lit, so this was pretty funny timing. Can safely say I'm suuper well lit now
I have another sponsored video coming next, but it'll be a lot more relevant to your guys' interests I think! It's animation focussed this time!
Thanks for watching!

For those who are fairly new, I used to redraw this one piece of Finch every year or so to see improvement, and post a speedpaint of it. They were more liked than I expected, but I eventually stopped. Decided to do a new one for the new year, and to thank you for 100k subs !! It feels very bizarre that I finally reached it ToT
2020 was obviously not super great, but here's to a (hopefully) better 2021

This one for Amelia's creative MAP based on The Dark Forest! I based my part on an AU version of Firestar I have, named Fireeyes, who instead of saving the forest burns it down bc he's a naughty boy. Instead of having fur like fire, he has eyes like fire. # edge

I really struggle to formulate ideas but I went with this idea of kinda following therapods on their journey into modern birds, obviously this film isn't accurate with the skull remaining on the surface and other bits lmao but I had to be fast lmao forgive me

A few months back I attempted to make a 2D Toon Boom rig to practice for a job test, and this is the rig I came up with. I was pretty proud of it considering it was my first rig :'0 very much a beginners rig tho! I've learned a bunch in the short time since I've done this, but thought it would be fun to show the process. There are a lot of issues with the rig as I knew very little about rigging, but excited to eventually make a better version when I've learned a lot more at my new rigging job (yay new job)
Zebirdbrain's videos helped me so much during this!

HELLo it's been a while since I've done a tablet review, and this one looked really nice so I agreed to this one! I really like it and think I'm gonna keep using it for a while longer. I'll keep you up to date in the comments to see how it goes over a few months.
Sorry this isn't the most exciting video ever, but I made a little rig of Finch and made some lil animated poses with it which you can see in this video, so I hope you like those! My next video will be a timelapse of me creating the rig and a lil test animation of it.

Had a road trip from Melbourne Australia to Port Douglas earlier this year before the virus hit (flew between Brisbane and Cairns). I'm fascinated by the wildlife over there so always had an ear and eye open for any of it. I love drawing on the field, so I tried to log whatever new animal I saw that day as a sketch in my journal (altho I drew most of it on the road using my footage as reference oops)
Would love to do more wildlife focussed trips in the future and do studies, going out and seeing the world's animals for yourself is REAL NICE
Sorry for the shaky footage btw, most of these were zoomed in real close and it's hard to keep the camera steady y__y
music is 'Village of Machines' from Nier: Automata

Technically a repost from my april fools video from 2017 because let's be real nothing has changed except it's animal crossing this time
youtube.com/watch?v=GErHX2r61Ug&t=1s
But for real though, the thumbnail is a clue toward an MAProject idea I've had for a while and want to execute. I'm hoping once I become less glued to my switch I'll complete the preproduction for it, as well as remake some old MAP parts as I've wanted to do that for a while!
I hope you guys are doing well despite everything that's going on right now. It's such a bizarre time at the moment and I hope you're holding up.

Managed to get this done the night before I travel home for Christmas haha, sweating OvO; would've loved to smooth it out and add shading if I gave myself more time. Thanks to those who watched the streams of me working on this, it was super fun to work on !
Was unsure of whether to post this one, but here's some thoughts I had after a year being in the animation industry. This is aimed at those thinking of getting into animation or wondering what it's like. Please be aware this is from my point of view alone, and I do not speak for everyone in the industry of course. I've only been working for a year, all in the same studio, so my POV is very small. I just wanted to talk about how I've found my first year and what it's been like. Sorry if I rambled on a lot, I had to cut a bunch out of this because I waffle like crazy.
It's been an experience with highs and lows just like anything, and even though I spent years expecting it, it still wasn't what I expected. The creative industry is a strange beast, but an exciting one. If you're looking into getting into the industry yourself, it's tricky to get your foot in the door, don't be disheartened if it doesn't work out right away.

Finally got this done ! Ironically, I was in a 'rut' whilst making this lmao. For a long time this year I've been in a real burnout, trying to be productive both at work and at home has been difficult to adapt to. Thankfully over the last month I've started to feel a lot better, and have got a whole lot done ! Glad I'm getting somewhere :D
Thank you guys for watching and for the support!
This was the film I directed for my final year at Arts University Bournemouth, completed last May 2018. We had to wait a year to release it, so here it is !
It was a lot of work to make, and everyone worked super hard ! ;o; Super proud of my team for helping me finish this. Links to them are provided in the credits below, unless they haven't provided me with them.

By no means do I expect you to watch this whole thing oh my goodness
(Also sorry if I sound a little tired or nervous, I hadn't recorded my voice for a video for a while and my flatmate was on the other side of my very thin wall so I was a little nervous!)
10 years ago I got seriously into drawing more as a dedicated hobby, so I go through my journey from then to now in this video. I start off by looking through key drawings of my character Finch, as I made new references for her almost every year, and compare how her design and my style have evolved. After that I go through my entire 'my characters' folder to see how my art progressed from 2009 all the way through to 2019.

It's a lot of me babbling about my thoughts of my work now and back then, so check it out if you're interested !
Thank you for your support throughout the years. Some of you have been around for a very long time, which is really crazy ! I appreciate you all, if it wasn't for support on social media through the years I wouldn't have been as dedicated to create.
All music is from Animal Crossing
Music: Rainy Day - Night in the Woods soundtrack
Trying out one of these mini speedpaints again, this time with a drawing of Finch with her new design, along with my pet snail lol. Hope you enjoy!
Unfortunately I drew it in portrait, so had to present the video a little differently
I animated a whole bunch at the beginning of 2018 due to my short film for university, which was finished in May and will be available for sharing this July. After that there's just some bits and pieces I worked on over the year. About a month after I finished the film and my uni course I was hired at an animation studio, so I haven't been able to animate much during that. One of my goals for 2019 however is to juggle my professional and personal work better, so I'm able to complete more personal projects at home such as MAP parts and so on.
Hope you guys enjoy, and thanks for the support this year !
- Song is from the Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky OST
- Toon Boom Harmony 15, TVPaint Pro 11 and Rough Animator (iPad) were used for these animations

Hope you guys have a good start to your 2019!
I did not create this trailer, I only agreed to share it.
Something a little different! A few months back I joined a reanimate project for a sequence from All Dogs Go To Heaven, that old Don Bluth movie, and this is my finished shot from it. If you want to see when the final project is done, you should probably keep an eye on @fablepaint on twitter.
Thanks to those who joined me in streams whilst working on this btw! They were really fun!

I draw a lot more on the iPad recently, and Procreate has the nifty function of being able to save timelapse videos of your art so I thought I'd make a mini speedpaint out of this! Drew the good purple boy to celebrate the new game coming out which I hope to play soon!
I didn't realise til after I edited this and everything that the footage cuts out the entire colouring process D: I went back to rerender the timelapse and it keeps cutting it out, so I assume something went wrong with the recording. Sorry about that, I hope you enjoy anyway!
If you guys like this I might try to make these mini speedpaints a more frequent thing, as these are really easy and quick to make and I love drawing on procreate !
Doing some lineart while I wait for my mum to arrive from the airport lol
