Trying to make first Hentai animation! Hand Drawn

[supersistar]

Hi all,

Me and the girlfriend (artist) are trying to make our very first hentai animation.

Currently shes doing commission work for hentai drawings but i feel as though we should also design some original pieces. Her gallery is below:

Has anyone had experience/knowledge of how to get an animation up and running?

Thanks!!

at first, some artistic criticism:
your gf is making a huge mistake-firstly, she is not drawing from her head, all those are c/p from models from photography, and secondly she puts on those realistic bodies anime faces, a really bad mistake.

I don`t know how long she is drawing but I think she should stop doing all that c/p and start to develop her own way of drawing hentai. If she knows human anathomy it should be all right, if not, let her draw you naked body, be a pattern to her (yeah, laugh all you want if you want to but real models beat the crap out of those from books and dummies).

that`s it, let me know how you guys are progressing with model drawing.


Now on topic:
the only animation I know and did was by hand, old school, so I can`t let you know much about drawing in animation programs but I can let you know which ones are the best for scaning and a-motion for you if you have PC.
If you have tablet, that is maybe better and definetly an easier solution for begginer, I`d recommmend those from Wacom,pretty cheap for that kind of quality. If you get one of those, no other question are needed to be asked since you`ll get a nice handbook with all graphic programs that are compatible with it.

Well, it's not looking too bad, except the dichotomy between anime-type heads and western-type bodies, as already explained by ane-san.

But keep in mind that there is a huge difference between a bunch of drawings and a complete animation. For making a good animation you need to make all the intermediate steps between one drawing and another. This means 15-25 drawings per second, about 1200 drawings per minute, etc.

Better have an idea of a plot (or a bunch of situations at least), don't forget the colours unless you want to give a "manga" feeling to your production. And yeah learn about body proportions, perspective for the background and stuff like that.

I know some independant animators that really manage to create full-length animation features on their own, like Bill Plympton, but it takes many years to get through. Anyway good luck on yout project. :grassdance:
