This man really likes apples doesn't he.

This actually made me understand keyframes better! And now I know how to properly plan my character movements as well as reactions or what i might animate them doing! this was very helpful! (Now i know why i needed a proper sketch book TwT) This also explained why animators put numbers between some frames. And id never really take my time to listen or watch tutorials, Since im working on an animated series i can focus now.

8:35 toniko made me use flipping more often in my tradicional animations, this really gave my animations life, I would love to see videos of how you breakdown characters for animation or your process in general

I've seen this video before, but I want to say this is under-rated. It really feels like you are being taught the most important aspects for smooth animation. Keep doing what you do, really helps :D

[MsDancealot]

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial, always have trouble with the in-betweens cause I always put too many and then I put the extremes! This is just a godsend!

I'll be here for Part 2, this is helping me understand a whole lot more. Thank you.

[DarrenTAnims]

Very clear demonstration of the process. This will definitely help a lot of people

[squibolysquaboly]

I plan on making an animation channel, and this helps a LOT! THANKS SO MUCH!

When they say smooth it’s pretty much:
I really enjoyed the way in which you utilised the 12 principles of animation towards creating a finished product which shows good evidence of timing, arcs and poses to pose in contrast to straight ahead. The motions are nice to look at as you can clearly see and understand exactly what is happening since you cremated nice in between aswell as keyframes, they were very effective

To anyone who doesnt know the 12 principles Alan Becker did a video on it in his tutorial channel and I suggest watching it just in general but also before this video as it spends more time explaining what Frugal references.

I've always thought of creating animation with a different method than just go frame-by-frame. Your method is very helpful

[tylersasser]

All I want to know is when your creating a animation drawing it frame by frame is how do you keep the outline from moving all scraggly like no matter how well you trace over your onion skin to the next frame.

Great tutorial, definitely learning and enjoying from seeing you go through the motions of bringing your character to life! Thank you :)

Hey I just wanna say you are a savior. I’ve been drawing for 15 years, since elementary school, and the past few years I’ve felt empty and lack of passion when it comes to my art. I’ve been struggling with life in general so education has been out of reach for me. Recently I’ve been feeling a burning desire to learn animation, I feel it’ll bring the new challenge I need and I feel I’ll be passionate about it. This lead me here, today is the first day of my commitment, I woke up and been scrolling YT to learn since I can’t afford classes and for now material is out of reach but I’ll learn all I can from the bases and practice the bases on my iPad till I can get myself a computer. Thanks a lot for opening this door I really wanna reach high places from here. 😊

Ooh, I definitely want to see this one!
