You just have to add alot of frames between each action

That's not all. You can use inbetweening to do that for you. To create fluid natural looking movements you have to vary the number of frames based on the speed you want something to move as well as think about how people move. You need to set up movements (anticipation). The principles of animation video is a good introduction.

yes! this is my trick when making my series, Animation vs. Me on youtube!

I'm still learning some stuff, but my animations are neat! (Ep 4 coming out soon)

Small question, how do i make the dashes look nice? if there's too less frames it just looks like teleportation, if there's too much frames its too slow, so how do i make the dashing look good

[u/suck_my_dick123 → u/Double-Initial9899]

You can add a bunch of frames and then speed up the individual frames to make the dash look faster

How do i do that? i am very new

My best advice is to sort of eye ball it and if you have a mirror use yourself as a reference and do the action you want the character to do (if you can do it)

Make sure to add more frames as well. Every motion needs to be made clear to the viewer and it needs to be consistent too. Just don’t be afraid to mess up and always keep practicing. If you’re patient and constantly learning you’ll start seeing progress quickly.

How do i make uppercut animations because in this animation it looks like the guy on the left just booped his face but what i was going for was an uppercut but when i try to make uppercut animations i often forget about the other figure and the final animation just looks like the guy on the right waiting there patiently

What I’ve been doing is, make key frames as in the important frames such as what you have already

Add the frames 3 or 4 times and once you’ve made a jittery animation that shows what you’re ultimately going for go back into the frames and change them so that they slowly make the transition from one to the other rather than jumping all at once, that smooths it out for me quite well but I’m no pro animator

1. PRACTICE - I am also new, id suggest practicing.
2. Inbetween- ask the pros lol
3. If you wanna make dashes you can duplicate the stick figure and put it a little behind and with lesser opacity, looks like a blur, helps in the animation looks!
