@Kira Grima-Williams I get what you mean, but personally, in the grand scheme of things, it's not really that much.

So basically, you don't have to draw every frame where the monk arm is moving. You can just draw three frames but one needs to show the smear. If that's the case, it makes a lot of sense.

This is a great, informative, and easy to understand video. Nice work! You deserve more views.

[@Carlos-zn6cm]

I am glad I saw a fan turned on while watching this video. With 3 frames on twos with smears, it will work perfectly

[@Ixapter]

It's weird. The more of these animation smear videos I see, the more I wonder why they said nothing about smearing in the animation school I went to.

[@opposite2715]

Same i never heard tutorial of smearing in my animation

Sadly you cant but you can stretch the between the frames to make it look smooth

Use ibis paint to make the blur effect

[@harocreations1042]

This is great!!! But I have a question do you make all your Animations by your self? Just wondering....

[@TonikoPantoja]

Yes, as of right now. All the examples are all animated by me, but that's also because I don't want to get sued using other peoples' animations while selling a package

[@harocreations1042]

@@TonikoPantoja sorry to bug but I seen your animation tiny nomad.... And that's why I wanted to know because I Animate with flash but they come nowhere near your Animations, I'm kind of a newbie to this and my Animations suck......Your Animations look so aesthetic and show such life... Anyway thanks for answering my question

[@darrienmiller4264]

Are smears usually in between the extremes?🤔

[@notstarved4634]

Id say it depends on what you are going for, but as a rule of thumb for me i put them before, at the extremes and maybe a tiny bit after. mosty before though.

[@johnsplayworld2402]

How can i animate like disney?

[@keamolefhe2188]

I really wish I could do hand drawn.But I don't have a cleanup artist no inbetweener.Its hard to be an animator in a country where its not even considered as anything serious.

[@Jake28]

You can just do those things yourself!

[@RC-go2kl]

That dog smiling gave me the creeps

[@ramasatria5826]

How the hell do you make drawing blurry

[@cemadiby]

How I blurr: I select the area that is suppose to be blurred make it really small. Then select the small version and turn it into its orginal size again. Maybe too simple but it works.
