The wolf at start: "I'm a human after all, I'm a human after all, don't put your blame on me, don't put your blame on me"

these tips not just helps with animation

THAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was really helpful, I only wish I had learned all of these techniques long ago. Thanks so much for sharing!

These tips are great! I will utilize them on my way to learn animation!

Gordon Freeman!

Just use 3d moron

can you explain why photoshop is bad for animating ?

Great Video.

I used the trace and place technique before even knowing how to keep my drawings consistent. I didn’t really know how, so I just tried it out and it worked well. The first times when I tried it, I felt so bad because I thought it would count as cheating. But then I learned that you are allowed to use tricks and different methods to work with animation. Thank you for this video! I think you described all of them, but mostly the trace and place very well!

why does photoshop is not recommended for animation?

Heyo... This is such a pain in the ass. I almost hate that I love animating.

Neko anime I wish.

I just wanted to learn how to make my animation smooth, but this is good too

Thank you for helping us

This was actually the very first question when I sat down to draw my first rough sketch for my very first animation.
I drew a pose 1 and then wanted to do keyframe sketch 2 where the person had moved quite a bit on the canvas and I was like:
"Wait... how in the world do animators prevent a person from unintended shifting in size or overall shape between far spaced out keys??? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
Thx for that excellent video.
In case someone wants to use CSP: Use the "Light table" for inbetweening. You can turn/move/scale there w/o changing your actual frames just like he explained for other tools.

your characters are always too cute man lol Amazing stuff and very helpful, Now i know forsure to learn my shapes before I do anything else.

your drawing skills are insane!

Can you recommend easy app for beginner? Is csp good?

How do animators remember breast size of characters? Same technique? I feel like it's harder when it's done to scale like on a paper, where there is great margin of error

when i am animating in the start the figure have a size, but in the end the figure have half the size of the start, i hate that...

Thank you so much for these tips, I just started to want to get into 2d animation
since I do stop motion, so these tips are sooo helpful, Thanks!

What free software can a beginner like use when starting up with animation

FUNNILY ENOUGH !!!!!
This was rly encouraging but from like a reverse angle?? I've already been using these tips for a couple months now (wether i picked it up subconsiously from videos and just forgot idk but most likely thats what happened) and Knowing that makes me feel like i'm on the right track for once instead of every aspect of animation being entirely new to me ya kno??

I forgot there’s a beginning and end frame first before in between frames, I used this for the first time and ooo it looks good

wow i didnt know shift and trace had a name! ive been using shift and trace for a while and i thought i came up with idea myself haha!

Really helpful video.

This tutorial was lovely! But oh my goodness was THAT GORDON FREEMAN????

Is that a praying mat behind you? <3 <3 Really great video

So all I have is photoshop cs6. Is it really not good for animating? I'm new.

🤯

I start my animation major in a month and I’m afraid I’m not ready n just gonna flunk it all🥲

Bro. I have a problem with maintaining volumes in inbetweening. Thank you for this video. This'll help immensely.

Photoshop not recommended for animation

Me using photoshop to animate: .....Shit

I Literally just came playing Black Mesa seriously Freeman?

I recomend have a good character design sheet, because, this help to maintain a good proportions in the animations. and practice for warming the hand a bit before make definitive animations drawings

Thank you so much! Keeping my animations on scale is so difficult to me, so your advice is really helpful! Plus I’m so fascinating on how beautiful your animations are!
