I put together a 2 minute 30 second animation tutorial that covers 6 quick but essential tips every animator can use. Let me know if you find some of these useful! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJGk...

Another AI experiment: can it turn a simple shape into a dragon? 🐉 I also tested if AI is more useful for cleanup & color than full animation. Check out the results and tell me what you think. #AI #Animation #HandDrawn #AIart #DigitalArt www.youtube.com/watch?v=faiD...

I tested today’s hyped-up AI video generators to see if they can handle 2D hand-drawn animation — and if us animators should be worried. After comparing to real human work…Let's just say, I think we're going to be ok, for now. #handdrawn #animation #ai

Posted Step 1 of my 2D animation process in Toon Boom Harmony on YouTube. This stage is all about rough lines to focus on movement and poses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=83_k... #2DAnimation #TraditionalAnimation #ToonBoomHarmony #HandDrawnAnimation

Some animation I did for a recent of Teen Titans Go! Shark Week special. The first episode is available on YouTube but the full 5 parter will start airing July 19th. I handled every part of the animation from initial roughs to final clean up and color all done in Toonboom Harmony

@haykcartoons.com and Travis Simon animated this. Check out the 5-part episode July 19th. @ericjedelstein.bsky.social

Animation studies of Vikings, such as Bjorn Ironside (played by Alexander Ludwig) and Amleth from The Northman (played by Alexander Skarsgård). Hand-animated in Toon Boom Harmony—great practice for gesture and life drawing www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhyq...

AI 2D Animation VS Hand Drawn animation. I gave my Drawing of Harut to an Ai program and gave it the prompt to make him dance and the first animation in the video is what i got back. The rest of the dances in the video are animated by me, by hand.

Here’s my original pencil test animation for Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, created for Teen Titans Go! at Warner Bros. Animation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQUh...

Animated a new dance for the Teen Titans Go! intro—this one’s for Season 9! I animate a new one every season, all hand-drawn in Toon Boom Harmony on a Wacom Cintiq, frame by frame www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eOs...

New DC logo I animated for Teen Titans Go! #2danimation #cyborg

Here's the Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote Special cameo I animated for Teen Titans Go! The only thing I didn't do in this entire sequence are the backgrounds. #2danimation #handdrawn www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CIj...

Does anyone know if the new episode of Teen Titans Go aired today? Title was The Stickiest situation. I’m trying to know for sure before I share my animation from the episode

Some animation I did for Legends Of Tomorrow. Included my acting reference, rough animation and tie downs.

My animation for the Teen Titans Go intro. Every season I animate a new dance (9 so far). Animated in Toonboom Harmony

March 1st Cartoon Network will air a new episode of Teen Titans Go! which will have a 1 minute 20 second hand-drawn animation sequence I did. Can't wait for people to see it!

In 2016 I animated this Lion King Parody with DC superheroes for the Teen Titans Go movie. Up til then I'd been animating in Flash (Adobe Animate), but for this project I wanted something that felt closer to hand drawn animation. I switched over to Toonboom Harmony and have been using it ever since

This is the DC Logo animation I did that airs before every episode of Teen Titans Go! On Cartoon Network @dccomicsreal.bsky.social @cartoonnetworkhd.bsky.social

Bone Run Animation. Animated in Toonboom Harmony.

There was a viral dance going around called the Tshwala Bam and so I animated my cartoon character Harut doing the dance. #dance #animation #2danimation

Animated this happy girl walk cycle over the weekend. Animated in Toonboom Harmony #animation #handdrawn #2danimation

Cyborg’s origin story in Teen Titans Go. At this time I was animating in Adobe Animate aka Flash. I would use the paintbrush tool to do hand drawn animation. #cyborg #animation

Superman training his dog Krypto in an episode of Teen Titans Go. I animated it in Toonboom Harmony #animation #art #handdrawn

Animation study of Childish Gambino in This is America music video. Gesture drawing from live action reference. I first capture the extreme poses then start filling in with poses in between #art #animation

I always love it when an assignment at work leads to me learning a new tool. In 2016 it was Toonboom Harmony for the Teen Titans Go movie. Now it’s Blender. Amazing program so far #animation #cgi

Viking animation studies. First one is Bjorn Ironside from the Vikings tv show and the other two are from The Northman movie. It’s a life drawing drawing/animation exercise I do framing through live action and trying to capture it through my drawings. #animation #art #drawing

Ballet dancer animation study. Animated in Toonboom Harmony. #drawing #animation

I hand-crafted these hands for our 400th episode. My job was to draw these hands by hand to make the animated hands look like live-action hands, because the hands in the previous scene were real hands, not animated hands. Hands down, this was one of the most hands-on projects I’ve ever worked on.

New Harut Dance animation. This time I combined a 3D model of Harut, motion Capture (Adobe Mixamo) and hand drawn. #animation #art

A family touring the studio stopped by my office. Their 7-year-old, a big TTGO fan, wants to be an animator. After seeing my unreleased piece, an adult joked, “Want a picture with the dinosaur who still does hand-drawn animation?” 🦖✏️ Endangered species. 🎥

Animated my daughter’s turkey hand print. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽

Small sample of the different styles of animation I’ve done for the past 12 years at Warner Brothers Animation

Reading Calvin and Hobbes with my daughter inspired me to animate this, based on a single Bill Watterson drawing. His work feels alive, even in still form. I’ve included all stages of my process—from roughs to color—done in Toon Boom Harmony. Hope I did it justice #animation

Finished animating this little monkey using my son’s voice. Happy with how it turned out 🐒 🐵 what do you think of this new character? Should I have him bust some moves? #animation #monkey #cartoon

Here’s another hand-drawn animation sequence I did for Teen Titans Go! Before this show came into my life, I had shifted to 3D, thinking 2D animation was done for good—at least for me. Little did I know, I’d spend the next 12 years doing hand-drawn animation. #animation

Animation I did for the opening I intro of the Teen Titans Go! TV show which will be airing its 400th episode later this month. Animated in Toonboom Harmony #art #animation #2danimation

Animated my sons voice. He’s saying “grandma butt” in Armenian and cracking himself up 😂 #2danimation #handdrawn

My tow truck driver told me he watched Teen Titans Go! when he was a kid. I thought he was talking about Teen Titans '03 so I mentioned having friends who worked on that one, and he said "oh yeah, I watched that one too."

We had a cameo in this weeks episode of Teen Titans Go! I'm the one Cyborg points at #animation #cartoon

Animation of an Armenian legend Sasunci Davit. From rough animation to final clean up and color. Animated in Toonboom Harmony #animation #2danimation

Re animated a clip from my childhood in Armenia. This was one of the few cartoons we had back then. Fun fact: My uncle worked on the original in 1971 #animation #cartoon #2danination
