My process is difficult to put in words, but at the start, I just give free rein to the wind that I'm imagining. Note: I, personally, don't strictly plan out the specific paths and speeds of each unique wind force. The figure below is just a breakdown of the different forces that push at the hair in the example we'll be studying. So be sure to cover the most basic movements first! It might be overwhelming to imagine several different wind forces coming one right after the other. When you've gotten a better grasp of imagining the wind forces as you animate hair, you can start exploring with wind going in different directions at different speeds.
So be sure to familiarize yourself well with the dynamics of the figure above! Animate two lines of circles moving from one position to another, and then draw a streak of hair wedged in between the moving circles, as shown below.Īnimating hair with circle guides is very useful practice, but they're only training wheels to help you get acquainted with the skill.īefore proceeding to experiment, it's very helpful to master animating hair in a single, consistent direction without guides. Imagine that the circles on opposite sides are taking turns to push down at the hair.
In animating hair, imagine that the wind forces are circles moving along either side of the hair. You can't see the wind, but you are able to tell how strong it is and which direction it is blowing by the movement of the hair. Using Toon Boom, you'll see how you can give a wind-blown effect to your artwork! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to animate your character's hair frame by frame.
