Introduction and Credits
Monica introduces the tutorial on making a 2D hand-drawing animation in Live2D, crediting the original English-language tutorial author.
[00:19]
Preparing the Hand and Pencil
The hand with a pencil can be a single piece or separate parts; the key is that they hold the pencil.
[00:32]
Creating the First Parameter
Create a new parameter with minimum 0 and maximum 1 to control the hand's appearance. Value 0 is the normal lowered hand, value 1 triggers the drawing movement.
[01:01]
Creating the Second Parameter
Create another parameter for the x-axis (values -30 to 30) to control the hand's horizontal movement.
[01:13]
Combining Parameters with Keyframes
Combine the parameters and add keyframes to define the drawing motion, using a rectangle to represent the screen area.
[01:42]
Setting Up the Emotion Editor
In the animation settings (clapperboard icon), create a new emotion, turn on the pen, and name it 'drawing'.
[02:09]
Assigning a Hotkey
Add a hotkey to toggle the emotion on/off, selecting F1 for this example.
[02:39]
Linking Hand Movement to Mouse
In model settings, add parameters for mouse position X and Y, linking them to the hand's movement parameters.
[03:19]
Adding the Drawing Surface
Add a tablet or sketchbook object from the park, set its size, and create a new scene for it.
[03:50]
Assigning the Scene to the Emotion
In the emotion settings, select the created scene for the move action, and assign the same hotkey (F1) to show both the hand and tablet.
[04:07]
Finalizing and Conclusion
The tutorial concludes with a reminder to like, subscribe, and comment on which model you use.
By following these steps, you can create a realistic hand-drawing animation in Live2D, controlled by a hotkey and mouse movement.

[00:03] Hello everyone, Monica, with you today we will figure out how to make an animation drawing life 2D this video is a retelling of the English-language tattoo area, the link to support the author from whom I borrowed this idea because I
[00:19] believe that the community of Russian-speaking YouTubers should also know this before we begin, what details we need to prepare for this animation first is the hand with a pencil, it is not necessary to make a separate part of the hand as I have done
[00:32] and a separate palm, in principle, you can make a whole piece of both the onion and the palm, the main thing is that they hold the pencil first, we need to create a new minimum value we set is zero and the maximum we will leave one, it will
[00:47] maximum we will leave one, it will include our hand with a pencil, I already have this parameter, it should have two values, the value 0 is a normal lowered hand, so it will appear on our model from the very beginning, but
[01:01] the purpose of one just appears the movement that we need, then we need to create another parameter, the value can be left -30 and 30 this is the parameter of the
[01:13] x-axis for the hand and the y-axis in me They already exist, that's how they should have appeared. You will see x, that's how they should have appeared. You will see x, y, then we need to combine them and add keyframes to get something like this. This rectangle
[01:28] will roughly show the location of your screen where you will draw. We even just need to move our hand so that the pencil can draw like this. This rectangle is in accordance with the actions on the grid.
[01:42] Great. Now we need a settings menu. Go to the animation settings. This is a clapperboard like this. Here we have an emotion editor. This can generally be done n't really like this method. I showed how I do it personally. I select the
[01:57] first item, create a new emotion. Yes, this will be our emotion, and we turn it on. Turn on our pen and call it drawing.
[02:09] Next, add a plus sign and we get a window like this. Here we select a hotkey. As you can see, there are a lot of options here, but I lot of options here, but I choose to turn the emotion on or off and
[02:24] choose to turn the emotion on or off and select the drawing emotion. Next, we need to select a key. Thanks to whom will this emotion be played? For me, it will be, say, f1. Done. Now, when I press f1, our
[02:39] Done. Now, when I press f1, our hand rises and starts drawing. Next, We need to go to the model settings, here's the next one, here's the next one, here's here's the next one, here's the next one, here's the key, scroll down to the very bottom,
[02:51] click on the plus sign, we should see this parameter appear, so on the mouse position x, then among the parameters, select our
[03:04] then among the parameters, select our selected parameter x, ready, now the hand moves along the x axis and the same needs to be done with the y axis, ready, just a done with the y axis, ready, just a little left, click on the three stars and we
[03:19] which we will draw, for this in the park with objects, we already put our tablet or sketchbook, you can look at the set on the wagon or make it yourself, so here we should have our
[03:35] tablet, select it and so select it, set it to the size select it and so select it, set it to the size need and then create a new scene, click create new scenes and press
[03:50] select, I have this scene already selected, night, go to the settings in emotions and perform the action that we already did, so in the action for the move, we select the very bottom parameter of this scene and select our created scene, ready and
[04:07] for It's better to add the same key that we had for turning on the hand, so when we press F1, both the tablet and the hand are immediately added. I hope this tutorial was useful to you. Write in the comments which
[04:22] model you use, water on or 3D bus. If you're not a YouTuber yet, write which one you would choose. You can also like and subscribe to the channel, and we'll see you next Wednesday at 5:00 PM Moscow time.
