How do you add an picture to the side of the screen
?

[Ash_]

0:40 What are you talking about here? The reference image is plainly visible at all times not just in front, side views. You yourself are showing in this video.

Quick question: How does one remove the black outline around a image that has no background?

[Loriba]

Ahhaha yeah in the video the image is actually ALWAYS visible.
For those needing this to actually work, go to Object Data Properties > check the "only Axis Aligned" box. Bam!

How do I add an image in 2d animation?

Thank you for not adding a bunch of sound effects in the video. I have attempted to watch several tutorials to get rolling with some reference images to trace an old prison building. I couldn't do it. Too much unnecessary flair added to a lot of them. I can clearly hear your voice and it was nice not seeing people's faces flash on and off with the hands on their face "shocked look". Seriously I wonder wtf are people on that create that garbage?
