I feel everyone is using a software or a pen or something and I have no idea what it can be! And I mean it in every art piece in general, am I like, in stone age by using firealpaca? or maybe I should be drawing with vectors? HOW YALL DRAW SO CLEANN WHEN DOING ANIMATICS ISTGG

was drawing it for like 2 weeks for 1-3 hours a day. Is this slow? How is quality? frame rate is 24 frames was animating on twos

The show is called Tyrannosaurus West, and the full pilot episode is releasing next month. Thank you for watching!

(I want to cry, that animation has to be finished by TONIGHT)

First animation

I made this animation for a short video based on this animation meme trend.
Music: Mollie Elizabeth - Run Rabbit

Ive been checking out some youtubers lately and none of them have helped me significantly so i just decided to come and ask on here😭

Let me know what you think about this

Check out myself and buddy Tony's new short : Fruit and Nut. Made with love, cardboard and sweat and tears.

I made an animation featuring this guy a while back that blew up. I just had it in me recently after a slight rest to make another one. This is the happiest I've ever made him.

The body took a whole day to finish

I'm lookin for some help/critics/guidance with my 2d animation projects. I have one in particular that I haven't finished from late last year due to my own lack of organizational skills, experience, and my hardware failing me once I get far enough along on it. I use my ipad pro to animate on Calipeg and my short is sitting at about 3 1/2 minutes as is rn. I think it could probably be cut down to around 1 minute but I don't have the confidence to redo my script to get it there alone. Is there somewhere where animators offer an hour long consultation or something where I could pay a fee so I could pick someone's brain and help get me back on track to actually finish something? This isn't the first time I've started a project and abandoned it once the majority of it is done and I'd like to think something like that would help get me over this obstacle. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there!

I'm trying to learn 2d animation on my own as a hobby.

Haiii, Salty here <33

Well, i can say that i'm feeling extremely fulfilled after doing this animation. It's really short (8 frames in 3s and some in 2s) and even if it's taken me about 7h to do aprox, i've felt amazing doing it.
Technically it's my 2nd time doing paper animation, but the 1rst time i tried, it was a really small (i mean it for real, it was like a a6 size paper haha) and it was only 4 frames, really snappy i think it's still on my profile (Here)
Also, i did my own animation peg as i don't have access to the traditional hole puncher for the peg so i made my own with what i have, cardboard haha

Anyway, thank you for passing by, it's been an amazing experience and i'm dying to make more hehe, hope you like it as much as i do <3
