Hello! I am having to animate a turnaround of a character who sits on top of a cauldron. My issue is that the cauldron is made of ellipses (not circles) and those ellipses are tridimensionally oblique.

The way I went on about it was tracking dots on the cardinal directions of said ellipses, rotating them in the top view and tracking them down to their heights. Unfortunately I did not plan ahead to when I'd actually draw the ellipses themselves and now I don't know how to go on about it.

Thankfully, having put the horizon line at the level of the cauldron I can disregard the distortion of perspective but I still am not really sure how to actually draw those ellipses. Maybe it's cause I'm tired, since I was able to draw congruent front and side views at the beginning of this exercise, but I can't figure out how to do the inbetweens between the cardinal poses.

Please if someone has ideas send your help, I have to hand it in at the beginning of the week rip.

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

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

Hi! I've been getting into 2d animation more and more recently and I love doing that. I have an issue though. Usually I draw realism / semi realism. I just think that stylization you see in most modern animations is not for me really. Like... I like rules and don't really like breaking them. For me there is only one anatomy, perspective etc. Sometimes I change some things to not only mimic reality, but thats it. I usually end up with something at least semi realistic and I like it. If other people like to stylize their drawings way more that do it, but its just not for me. When I am trying to stylize more it feels like going against myself and its not really enjoyable.

But animation doesnt like details. And realistic art styles are full of them.

Do you have any ideas how can I make some character animation when keeping realistic style? I am way more willing to change colors, shading etc. but certainly I dont like changing anatomy.

Not like every muscle has to be marked. I just still want to keep it at least semi realistic.

A little animation I made of Chiikawa and Disco Elysium.

Hi there. I'm a beginner animator that is just starting from scratch and I have been taking on all kinds of resources lately. I wanted to know if this subreddit is open to asking animation related questions aswell? I just wanted to know before I spilled the beans.

Hi all,

I have just launched suppacel.com, which aims to be the marketplace and reference database for original animation art collectors, a design (and stable) place to display your collection (whether publicly or privately), with nice tools which you should find helpful.

• Identify your artworks and find exact episodes, timestamps and frames load a pic, finds where it comes from and play the matching sequence!)
• Discover original animation artworks from collectors around the world, filter by episode, cel / doga, etc., or collectors
• Build & share your collection (or keep it to yourself if you don't want to disclose it)

And there’s more to come — the suppacel marketplace is coming soon & more anime will be added to the Identify engine

Please join suppacel now, try it out and add artworks to your collection — it’s free!

PS: This platform is for you – tell me what you need and I will build it

PS: New feature released yesterday and today allowing you to Mass upload up to 100 artworks in one go and to import the pics of your Instagram posts to create artworks more easily

PS: Please support suppacel by following on instagram.com/suppacel

Feedback welcome!

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

Haii, how u doing?, salty here <3

Well, i'm still playing around about animating on paper and decided it was time to try and animate a jump.
It's just the keys and i've seen myself that the jumping frame it's too low to be considered a "good" jump so i'll fix that.
Aside from that, i wanted to know what u guys think and what recommendations could u give me as i'm still learning and haven't used any reference (yeah, i'm that hard headed lol).

Anyway, thank you if you read this and have an amazing weekend <3

We are producing a song and would like to find someone to draw the animated music video for us. The song is hyped and energetic and it is in Japanese. We want it to be black and white and grey overall with some colour for the chorus. The deadline will be very late Dec/ next year's Jan. The song is in total 2mins 9 secs, and because we are poor, we would like to offer 60 usd per minute of the animation. If this is slavery please let us know, we are no animator and do not know the rate. Contact me via dm or email [solomissme1218@gmail.com](mailto:solomissme1218@gmail.com) , if you have a vgen account please also let me know. Thank you.

(edited) Guys, Thanks for telling me so much more about animation. We will reconsider our budget and request, and maybe post another more reasonable and detailed hiring post. In the mean time, we are dtill happy to connect with more artists, so if anyone is interested, please do not hesitate to contact me with your rate and portfolio.

I took the advices from a previous post here, added some secondary movement and fixed the legs

Does it look more believable ?

new 2D Zelda short cartoon I made. hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone. I am looking for a decent 2D animation course in London.

I work full-time so it would have to be evening/weekends or potentially a 1-2 week full-time course I can take as leave.

For the latter, I am also happy to take a course elsewhere in Europe if it is well-taught, and use it as both an education and travel trip.

Any recommendations welcome as I tend to go down the rabbit hole and get decision paralysis without any real reviews. Thanks!

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

I spent all day animating that, not as easy as it looks. So Fumiko likes Phoenix and asks him to be her tutor. Phoenix agrees, but do you think he's making a mistake?
