    I watched this thinking it had a few thousand view at least, and was surprised when I saw only a hundred. The quality of this video is super good dude! Keep working at it

    about 6 years ago i decided to start animating because i was obsessed with animations on here. did none of this except like the ball bounce 💀 um!! now im capable of good animation just through personal trial and error over time but have ZERO patience or motivation anymore for it as it isn’t an interest anymore :( but animating to songs is really really fun i still try to do little animations from time to time but this video kinda makes me wanna get back into it

      You should! The key is to animate whatever makes you happy, and at a pace that isn't too taxing. I look forward to seeing some of your work :)

      ty both :3 i think i will once i have the free time, just have to find out what. i made another ball bounce animation yesterday! also @ashoka7273 since u asked, should have a playlist of my old animation memes on my channel but they’re not great and cringe (to me) and my art has improved a lot since then, if i get back into animation i might start posting again? it was fun :D

    great job and good luck with your journey! right step to go into the principles! they're transferable to any type of animation and medium, software...Drag/offseting-follow through are really good to have in mind when you get there! give it oomf and nuance or at least believability too!! keep it up man!

    I noticed you just do straight ahead animation
    That’s actually pretty hard! You should absolutely try the pose to pose approach
    A lot more easier to handle movement
    Straight ahead is great for elements or flowing stuff like a flag for example

    • @cosmeau99
      @cosmeau99  Месяц назад +1

      I’ve been trying to do so in more recent animations, but yeah I was definitely shooting myself in the foot earlier on

    What you have to learn is keeping your volumes consistant ; Especially in your animation of the pig, the cranium volume dramatiquely decrease at pose two. You can easily fix it by drawing you second pose just above the first one, then, move your second key at the right position. Same for bodies: you arms, and chests tend to change in size when moving. It's a really common issue when you start animating and doesn't have a mentor to guide you. But, as I said, you can easily fix it. My advice would be : Try to animate for a while in paper, it's not that expensive, you can buy a cheap two holes peg bar you can use with regular two holes puncher, a cheap light table ,then scan your animation. You'll get a better control over your lines and you'll certainly find it more practical to use for pose to pose animation and clean up. If you're looking for serious ressources to strenghtent your skill, I highly recommend the Preston Blair's manual, it's all you need in order to learn how to design your characters, how to draw with consistance and the very technical basis of animation. I hope this will help you. Hold on and stay focus !

      @ You're welcome. we all have some hard time dealing with volume when animating, especially for long cuts. But I'm sure you have what's needed to become a real animator. As you shown in your video, practice is the key to success. Have a good day my friend.

    Hey I just found you. I been looking for people who do animation and stuff about it. I just started trying to do some animating myself. Basically starting from zero experience as well. You gave me an idea to maybe Chronicle my effort and maybe put that up to show. Anyway, I subbed and I guess I'll be keeping up with your stuff.

    Great work. I would say if you want to learn principals, don’t be afraid to animate shapes like rigged cut out type characters that way you can just focus on movement and not drawing volumes and anatomy from different angles.
    Lipsyncing can also be satisfying.

    • @cosmeau99
      @cosmeau99  5 месяцев назад +1

      Usually I just press B and then there should be, on the right hand side, under tools I believe, a pen with a circular object around the tip which you need to press for pressure sensitivity. The thickness I use is 7 for standard characters but I go less thick for features and thicker for backgrounds :)
