Animation tutorial on the complex style used in the Castlevania Netflix series. A good watch if you're curious about all the steps involved to make a detailed animation with hand-drawn shading and effects.

This is an unofficial tutorial. The tips I give to achieve the style are definitely not 100% the same as the official production methods.

The example animation I made is for Daria Cohen's "When You're Evil" collab. I documented making it so I could create this tutorial too.
