    the reason it was so hard to draw a straight line at that scale is because of the paper grain. if you want to try it again, you should try a different paper, the smoothest you can find. a higher grade copy paper is probably good enough, but if not, a lot of european and asian papers are coated, making them much smoother

    You have inspired so many people to become animators by making them create flip books of their own, flip books are the form of traditional hand drawn animation in books without the need of cameras, one of the oldest forms of animation along with Stop-Motion, right before computers created animation softwares like Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, Krita, Source Film Maker, Blender, etc.

    the reason for being able to draw smoothly one way and not the other has to do with the grain of the paper. if you try to tear paper, you will find that one direction tears more cleanly than the other; the smoother tear is along the grain, the rough tear is against it that is, perpendicular.

    Came for the animation, stayed for the humor and editing. Great video!

    I'm the same way for the wabbly lines, when I animated the intro to my music video I wanted it perfect but was animating on a Chromebook with a mouse. Which I had no idea how to do it neatly so I settled for wabble and it turned out pretty good! Loved the animation book btw!

    I remember being like 9 and watching you make the tiny flip book. I was so impressed and subbed to you immediately. 5 years later, I’m almost 14, I’ve got a new account, but somehow this video somehow still ended up on my recommended.
