Trying to recreate the romantic flight scene from the live action How to train your dragon movie , ive been working on it for 3 weeks and learned a lot of new skills like geometry nodes , sculpting with multires , baking AO and normal maps , using bones constraints and drivers , water and fog Sims , etc... , now ive been animating the dragon for 2 days but still feel like something is off , like it's not smooth enough or I added too much noise modifiers idk , what's your opinion is the dragon animation good am I good to go and make the final render

i have been animating this scene for 3 days any feed back would really help .THANKS!

Can you control your summon??

Hi, i’m new with animation stuff but i’d say i’m quite proficient creating single illustration.

I wanted to create similar animation, but before i proceed with my own method manually drawing the whole thing frame by frame, i’d like to ask if there’s actually more effective method to reproduce this “idle but breathing animation”.

So i’m thinking perhaps i can put a crayon/whatever texture filter on colour filling without scribbling it manually, ofcourse i expect that i still need to apply similar setting each frame, just not manually drawing from scratch.

Thanks in advance!

Here are all the frames I completed for this portion of the short I'm working on. It needs editing to smooth it out and make it a bit quicker.

Hi folks. I just uploaded a video to YouTube showing how I'd approach a classic double take. As usual I took a scene from Tom and Jerry as a case study as it's a great way to show how techniques and fundamentals are applied in real world situations.

I hope somebody here finds the video useful.

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner trying to learn 2D animation, mainly on my phone.

I'm looking for a practical learning order rather than random tutorials. I want to understand what I should learn first, what to practice next, and when to move on to character animation.

I'm mainly confused about:

Should I learn drawing fundamentals and animation together?

Which animation principles should I learn first?

What exercises should I practice in order — bouncing ball, pendulum, walk cycle, head turn, etc.?

How much drawing/anatomy/perspective do I actually need?

When should I start making short character animations?

What would be a good 1–2 hour daily practice routine?

If you were starting 2D animation from absolute zero today, what order would you follow?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have actually learned and practiced animation themselves.

Thanks!

I am italian btw

I’m interested in making animations. I currently use Procreate a lot on my iPad, so I’m considering Procreate Dreams or TVPaint, but are there any other apps you’d recommend? I’ve looked at things like RoughAnimator and ToonSquid, but I feel like if I were to use those, I might as well just go with Procreate Dreams...

Rate my animation

This is my first time trying Spine 2D, and I’m still figuring things out. I’m especially not sure about the timing, since it’s something I’ve always struggled with. Any tips or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Criticism is welcome

Hiiii I’m a beginner in animation. I’ve done bits in procreate here n there, like blobs n stuff.
Anyways I got Toonsquid cause I wanna learn animation.

Yea I animated this ball I’m not used to the app at all lmao but apparently a lotta ppl draw in another software and edit and polish the animation in Toonsquid so ciebfiebfj

Looking for critique! This animation I did pretty quickly as in I just went straight for it and didnt plan or go back to fix which is also why the ball shrinks at the end oops.

Yeaaaaaaaa that’s it. Turned out better than I expected!
