First animation I've ever done! I'm happy at bare minimum I've taken the first steps to getting this started.

I instantly realized that I messed up in the beginning before the first bounce, needs more curve and other things. After the first bounce, tho, I think it was aight for a first attempt. I should probably remove frames after the impacts. I tried to emphasize the impacts by warping it onto the floor and having debris come off the floor, but I think there's a frame too many.

Also, I forgot to add a background, I need to do that next time.

I'm gonna check out those exercises to improve, because I really want animation to become a part of my life. Once I got past the knowledge barrier on softwares and found one I like okay (TVPaint v10), I finally got off the ground.

How do you people get consistent lines across multiple frames? I'm literally shining a lamp through a glass pane and hoping the pages line up but I keep fucking up parts like the hair/eyes with different strokes each time.

The jitter is due to using phone camera to compile this, ignore that.

Yesterday Savage released some codes for the Procreate 5 beta. I got one and the animation assist it's simple but very interesting to use.

So I want to ask, where do I start?
I have some knowledge in drawing and digital painting and rn I'm studying anatomy to get better in general.

I began to read the Animator Survival Kit but IDK If I have to start with something more easy, for example with other books or doing the 51 exercises from the OP.

I want to add that I like the style of the animation that starts at 2:23 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ornXZGEFcds
because of the fluidity and the use of perspective. I guess this style is gonna be difficult to master but If someone has some tips, that would be great.

Animator Survival Kit at the beginning explains that you should learn how to draw before learning how to animate. Do that. "Learning" 2d animation when you struggle with drawing is a waste of time.

[Anonymous No.4209087]

Made this in like an hour and a half, trying really hard on cutting down time so I can make animations really quick.
I think I'm finally understanding how timing frames work, although I keep adjusting it later on. Is it normal to constantly tweak the timing of certain frames? Should I practice getting the timing perfect first, or will that just be something that comes with experience?

this is my most ambitious animation, an example from the animators survival guide. can i please get some critique? i dont feel like i used the speed up or slowdown from the ball bouncing example at the very beginning, and i dont know how i would. also i didn't draw frames that weren't on the timeline he gave which im not sure if i was expected to put inbetweens or if this was what an animation on '2s' is. does it look alright? how could i improve

[Anonymous No.4209876]

>>4209862
It looks like someone from a ministry of silly walks who's really pissed off about his humongous haemorrhoids.

It just doesn't look natural, nobody walks like that. I'd suggest acting out how he's supposed to walk (in front of a mirror or recording yourself) and exaggerating movements that you see in your reference instead of inventing them from your imagination.

[Anonymous No.4209878]

Somebody already animated it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EZcVfuYWbU

It's one of the walk from the Animator's survival kit book that says you should try exaggerating movement regardless of the anatomy, as you can see he is breaking a lot of joints. It is silly and of course nobody walks and it doesn't look natural but that doesn't make it bad, it works as a silly thing.

they are two different things. pointing out something wrong (critique) and then saying "heres how i would have done it" (advice) for example is very different from giving the canned advice "look at references lole". he just didn't like the books style, because i immediately posted my reference (from the book) and then he dismissed it

>>4211497
that isn't an explaination. how would i improve from just knowing the whole thing doesn't look right? especially when he dismisses the book entirely in the next post, despite basing my animation on the books example, i dont even know if his problems are actually problems.

>>4211927
it is my MOST ambitious animation as in i spent the most time on it. i do see what you mean, i notice in mine the body parts vary a lot more which may be why it doesn't look as weighty, they aren't following any arcs of motion. and now i do see how it looks like he is going backwards, the heel slide i tried does not look good. i think the book said fast movements need more frames, maybe that is the problem with that. thank you

In your late twenties the problem with learning new stuff isn't lack of neuroplasticity - it's not a big issue yet. The problem is the lack of time. It's just really difficult to find time and energy when you're working full time and taking care of your family.

Been checking some anime production vids and, if I'm understanding this correctly, the pencil frames get scanned at 960 x 1600 resolution with 144dpi, then they get indexed to 4 colors + background for quick bucket coloring and then blurred/anti-aliased on After Effects to get rid of the jaggies.
Is this correct? What would be the digital-only equivalent?

in digital you press the render button and you are done, why are they still using paper?

[Anonymous No.4218896]

>>4218257
Because drawing on paper is far more easier than drawing on a tablet. This is because drawing on a surface is easier if you know where your hand is, thanks to hand-eye coordination.
With a tablet you have to "relearn" how to draw without looking at your hand, which most animators don't have the time to do.
Also, believe it or not, most animation studios don't have the money to buy Cintiqs, so pencil and paper is the fastest way right now.

[Anonymous No.4219069]

I would but I've got an actual licensed version of Photoshop on my PC and apparently when you mix licensed Adobe stuff with pirated Adobe stuff is when the software starts phoning home, so I'd like to see what's out there before I deal with that. I know PS can animate in a pinch but the interface for it is a bit wank.
I'm also just sort of curious about what everyone's using. A quick search turns up a lot of free software that looks good for sketching but none of it looks like it'd be any use for finished work.

[Anonymous No.4219242]

So, much like this Anon: >>4214962 I too would like to take my art to the 'next level' and would like to apply my skills in animation. I'm familiar with flash and toonboom, but haven't touched anything in a while.

I'm currently using gimp and paint tool sai for my illustrative needs and am in need of a FREE and SIMPLE animation program that I can do at least three things in:
-Import stuff from my other drawing and photo editing programs into.
-Import sound onto the storyboard/timeline, so I can better track animation.
-Export my animations so they can be easily uploaded or put into other vid editing software.

I've been recommended BLENDER and OpenToonz, but I'd like to hear what the Animators here actually use.

[Anonymous No.4219961]

>>4218896
I worked in the industry for about 4 years now, all the studios use tablets, some even use pen display tablets if they are fancy.
It`s not hard to use a tablet, a little practice and it becomes second nature, drawing on paper is great but it is way slower, you cant scale or deform your drawings, you cant rotate your drawing, you need to erase and do it all over again, plus it takes a loooot of space to store that amount of paper and you need too hire actual people to scan it, store the finished animation and keep a record. It`s just not worth it digital is faster and cheaper in the long and short run.
I cant speak for Japanese studios though, never worked on one, they are slave drivers and penny pinchers for what i heard.

Why does Krita's brush feel so fucking terrible. It has a REALLY strange feel to its stabilizer, and even when it's on 0% stabilizer it still feels different to what I get in 0% stab with SAI.

How difficult is it to learn Toon boom harmony? I just want to do simple puppet animations, ie: Peppa pig, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Archer characters standing around talking.
Most toon boom vs adobe anim. comparisons say tb is better, but harder to learn. Apparently you can even get certified as toon boom trainer. But is it so much harder than adobe animate? Unless it takes 10 times as long to learn, or I find myself fighting complex features all the time, I think I'll go for tb. Any insight? Thanks.

[Mayde No.4230351]

>>4230298
The learning curve for TB is pretty steep from all I've seen, but it pays off if you understand it really well. Studios love animators who are experts at the standard software, but TB is on a whole other level. If you have the money, and you're also confident that you're going to be using MOST of the tools that TB supplies you, then I say to absolutely go for it. IIRC there's an animator who often visits these threads who spent over a month just watching and studying TB tutorials before he even dove into it. That animator is currently doing some pretty good gigs.
Adobe Animate is a completely different beast altogether. It's SUPER easy to pick up since there's information and tutorials all over the internet for all of the most basic and complicated things. Anybody can sit down for a couple days, press a bunch of buttons, and figure out what each little function does pretty quickly. Adobe Animate works in symbols, drawings, and objects. Symbols are just a container which have an entirely new animation timeline inside of it, in which you can go inside of and animate things. From the outside, you could manipulate the scale infinitely and everything inside scales just the same. It's basically like nesting and making a precomp in After Effects. Little do most people know is that Adobe has fixed the brush tool quite a while ago, and it's actually really fucking competent for linework. It's just that all of the options for puppet animation are kind of limited. Moving shapes around and going through dozens of nests to draw a new asset for a single motion you'll never do again is really stressful in the long run, but it gets the job done.
The only thing that's truly different between the two is their flexibility and their user. If you're still figuring out animation, go with Adobe. If you're a professional animator who knows exactly what they need and what exactly they'll be doing, go for TB.

I just want to post that I have been struggling for a bit with learning traditional paper animation. I read and watched animators survival kit and it really didn't help basic planning keys and inbetweening and maintaining volume and interesting breakdowns. It touches on some of everything but not enough.
Then I went to preston blairs book and realised I have to break my characters down into basic skeleton, shapes and forms to maintain arcs and volume. But still no actual animation help.
Then I found Eric Goldbergs Animation Crash Course and it is really the link between the two above books.
I dismissed it initially because it looks like chinese disney ripoff but the author animated the genie in aladdin, which is basically peak renaissance to me.
It covers everything you want to know about drawing for animation, planning keys, inbetweening, doing interesting breakdowns and all in multiple styles. Can't recommend it enough. Even good for anime people if you have an open mind and adapt it to your style.

rotoscoping always ends up slow and sloppy looking. animations aren't like real life. for example, the jump at the end of the animation, and the rest of it, looks like she's about to pass out from chugging nyquil. rotoscope is a foundation, but youll have a lot more success with it if you just use it as a guide, rather than trying to be a human scanner

I worked with a board once that had about 376 frames, and it came out to around 4 and a half minutes. It was very animation-heavy, so it depends on the amount of action you're doing and how many drawings it's going to take to convey them. Your boards are your keys, so you should make them count now before you regret not making it clear enough later.
You can basically skip the entire animatic stage if you're working by yourself. Treat your boards well and you wont even need an animatic when you get to it. I usually jump right into animation when I get boards and it comes out fine.

Coloring doesn't really change the basic principle of the animation. That's all done in the line/sketch stage where the timings and spacings and poses are really brought out.
Most anime is done on a cheap budget where the animator's skill is stretched quite thin as they need to do X seconds of work per week before it's handed off to the inbetweeners and rendered in. Most anime also uses quite a bit of computer work nowadays.
The rendering doesn't magically make the animation any better, it just finishes the product.

Basically just cleaning up your drawings as you normally would, but when you're animating and cleaning up your keys, ALWAYS make sure you're flipping between frames before and after you throw down a line. Having the onion skin turned on isn't enough to see what's exactly going on between two frames, but when you do a lot of flipping between drawings, it's so much easier to see where things go and how to plan it out. Flip between your keys as much as you can and pay attention to your arcs, proportions, character design consistency, 3D space, line of action, and the silhouette. You want to make sure that you don't accidentally make random lines "stick" from drawing-to-drawing because doing your extremes and breakdowns to those drawings will be extremely confusing. Track your eyes onto random points of the animation and see what kind of path they take before you clean it up. If it's chaotic, then fix it into some arcs before you ink it.
What I mean by your lines "sticking" is if you have some lines on a character's torso stay exactly the same between two keys, then it will look too static and freeze in place when you do all of the other steps. When doing your keys/boards, take EXTRA time to flesh out their forms and poses because they're essentially the entire backbone of your animation. Keep them clean and ultra readable so anybody who sees just the poses can know what's going on. No amount of extra drawings between a couple of bad keys are going to make the animation look good, so make them count.

I think I'm going to die doing inbetweens but I'll do them anyways

Thanks for this detailed explanation Anon, I'm new to animating and this really helps a lot.

Does anyone works in CSP? Is it possible to merge multiple files with same names, for example I have 2 animation folders with 30 frames in each, numbered 1-30, can I merge this two folder into one in one click?

[Anonymous No.4255173]

I'm trying out Procreate since they added animation
Is there not a way to put my sketch layer in a folder and then make a new folder of keyframes above it? If not I'll just clean this up in CSP

also what software did you use? I wanna make one too

Cute!

Inbeetwens done, now I'll do lineart and coloring. I didn't die but holy fuck I slept 16 hours after that

[Anonymous No.4255987]

Does anyone have any tips for very close inbetweens to avoid wobbly lines? Also something that happens when I inbetween progressively closer is that they stop being 1/2 and start being biased and unintentionally favored towards one key (usually the key that comes after).

Don't do as many frames. If something's moving slowly, don't use 1s. Go to 2s or 3s if you have to. The less drawings you use, the more efficient you'll be.

Does anyone have amb courses? I would like a mega to it

this has 2 or 3 times as many frames as it needs
read 'timing for animation' by harold whitaker in the OP mega

>he wants 10-15 frames in 3 second animation
Are you Diives' fan by any chance?

[Anonymous No.4256550]

>>4256537
He's not wrong
>>4209087 Is very limited animation but the key poses are strong enough to sell the motion
The spacing in the Jenny animation is very uniform too, which muddles up the animation

[Anonymous No.4256571]

Thanks for showing this off. Looks good.

[Anonymous No.4256719]

Really good. It doesn't follow jenny`s model but i can see it`s a different interpretation

Dunno anon, not sure that the guy being killed would lay completely straight after he's dead; I'd assume thag he would collapse on his possition and land face-first with his hips still flexed desu but I like the animation

Ugh fuck I guess you kinda right. I removed few frames from 32 to 24, but I don't want to make it into a slide show, does it looks better?

[Anonymous No.4256753]

>>4256744
why would you remove frames?

[Anonymous No.4256755]

>>4256753
Because more frames not always means better and I'm not good enough to make them look good

[Anonymous No.4256803]

>>4256755
it looks already on two`s, the keys and the timing is already laid out, removing frames makes no sense

[Anonymous No.4256805]

>>4220650
thank you for this, anon. I could never wrap my tiny brain around how to use that shit.
now to actually try it in practice

[Anonymous No.4256808]

>>4256803
Im not just gonna leave it like that, of course I will fix some frames, come on man

[Anonymous No.4256921]

Try your hardest to keep them halfs. Remember your arcs and be very careful where you place your lines. Look at the playback to see how it looks.

[Anonymous No.4256992]

>>4256755
adding/removing inbetweens doesn't change the character of the animation, it's the timing and spacing of them and the keys that you place

I am trying to animate skirt with 2D bones, using simple "ribbon" rig. Is it OK for games?

How can i improve this skirt animation? Maybe cut skirt in multiple sprites?

[Anonymous No.4259243]

>>4251479
So how did I do?

[Anonymous No.4259330]

>>4259243
That tweening is incredibly awkward. I know this is all computer-generated inbetweens, but why is your anchor point set to the bottom of the ball? Your scaling transform also squeezes downwards and you get this unnatural rotation at the end.

Set your anchor point to the center of the ball and rerender this exact same clip and see how it looks.

[Anonymous No.4259398]

I see exactly what you mean give me a second and let me see if I can fix that (I'm new to the program so all the stuff you just told me might be impossible for my limited knowledge of the program)

[Anonymous No.4259401]

>>4259330
Also explanation:

I wanted to keep the ball on the ground so that when I flattened out it would look like it was going fast but just planted in the ground.

The weird rotation at the end was my attempt at giving it the cartoonish hard stop effect (you know grinding into the ground to not hit a wall or something)

Well for one you might need to improve the walk. Her torso literally stays static in the air, weightlessly, while her feet move. In real life the body would have a bit of forward momentum when the leg impacts with the ground. As with the skirt I'd advise you to study reference video.
