Hello! In this article, we will learn step-by-step and drawing-by-drawing how to animate a dress in the wind in Clip Studio Paint.

 

We will see how to make all the drawings of this animation cycle, which might seem difficult but is simpler than you think, as long as we work on our animation in order.

 

Without further ado, let's go to the video:

Tutorial: How to animate a dress in the wind

What did you think of this simple tutorial? As you may have noticed, it's easier than it seems and we can create truly amazing animations.

 

Remember to activate the subtitles; although the video is in Spanish, you'll find subtitles in different languages, so you're sure to find yours :)

 

We will create 8 drawings, and the animation speed will be 8 FPS (Frames Per Second). After finishing the animation, we can extend each drawing to have a duration of 3 frames and finally change the animation speed to 24 FPS (Frames Per Second).

Now, I'll show you a small tip so you can start making this animation in the best possible way:

Start by separating or dividing the parts of your character. In my case, I have several layers, which are the following and which you can see in the next image:

• Paper Layer: White background color.

• Layer Folder: Original drawing of my character.

• Drawing Layer: Upper part of my character's drawing.

• Animation Folder: Where I will create the dress animation.

This is the animation you can achieve by following the tutorial step-by-step:
