How to Animate SMOOTHLY - 5 Steps

i did the bouncing ball animation and follow the same principle with my first animation and thanks to you now i know why it was looking a bit off , it was because i didn't put enough anticipation and i relied too much on onion skin for extremes

Thanks, GOD bless you in Jesus's name.

I can't wait to use this tutorial when I finally learn how to draw!

is your character based on a Sonic the Hedgehog character Rouge the Bat

I just discovered how lazy I am. I use smear frames for every in-between (I’m trying to fix that)

if gordon said it, its gotta be.

Animation app name

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR TEACHING ME THIS IT HELPED ME IN MY JORNEY OF ANIMATION 😊❤❤😊

you are the best

what do use app

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. 😊

Hi! Your video is so informative and helpful (especially for me because im a Animation Student).
Thank you for taking time to do this masterpiece!👍🏼💫
Pd:I have a question: How app/Software do you use in this video?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Hey:) i know you posted this like a year ago but im just finding this now and i have a question- so im doung an animation with this animal with a long flexible neck and the neck and head are shooting forward, but there are scales and stuff on the underside so when im animating the shooting motion, how can i keep the scales and stuff in the right spot so it doesnt look like the scales are moving up or down or whatever during the animation?

Can you please help me with opentoonz 1.5

I love such Drawing Demos. Please Continue ....

Thank you so much! This wa super helpful for me! I really want to animate for my channel, but I had no idea how to. So thank you very much!

Me making my animations or my cellphone

This is impressive, and it's pretty inspired by one of Walt Disney Animation Studios and The Sergio Pablos Animation Studios.

This is incredibly helpful and was reccomended to me in my time of need. Thank you so much!

This is the best tutorial out there

When i don't have digital pen...

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.

Im a flipaclip animator, and have been trying to learn this new program. The problem im having is the copy and paste. In flipaclip i would use it in flipaclip very often, mostly for consistency and faster work flow. I would normally copy and paste a characters head to move where i need it to move, then i draw the hair flowing afterwards. This program, when i want to move a head slowly to the next pose it keeps duplicating the frame (connecting the frames) so if i move one frame it moves the other which really ruins my workflow. I figured i would probably draw frame-by-frame instead of fluidly working one frame at a time copying and pasting certain body parts to create a fluid motion. I'm sorry for writing this long comment but im just wondering of there is something in opentoonz like that.

Im starting with animation and this helps me alot thanks man!

Wow my mind just blown thank you so much thank youuuui <3

How long did it take you to animate that short? Love the vid!

I don’t know how to explain my animation it’s like it’s alll over the place it doesn’t look good it’s like not human speed I wanna know how to make my animation slower

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

Breakdowns? I can do that

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

i cant draw :(

Thank you for making this I really want to make fluid beautiful animation when I am older and this really helps man who likes apples 😊

This help soooooo much!!!!

Some advice....
I'd you decide to talk for the first 20% of your video.... Try adding some smash cuts to examples of what you're talking about.
You think people have the attention span to look at a white board for 3 minutes..??

Thanks 💧😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😇😇😇😉😜

Your character is adorable

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.

Thanks so much for sharing. Any final editing tricks that smooth together frames?

can i see the colored one

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

Have you ever showed your face or thought about doing a q&a

thanks for the video (:

Nice video , I’m new to the whole “ onion skin “ , but thanks for the advice

Did he grow up on veggietales I wonder?? :D

i DIDN'T REALLY FOLLOW ALONG TO A t BUT I DID LEARN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN kEYS, eXTREMES AND iNBETWEENS-STUPID cAPS- tHANKS nOBLE

this is so helpful thanks!
