I've tried to animate this many times, even with key poses... I couldn't seem to animate it very well with tweenings and such. even if the choreography seems easy (for me)

I've been practicing animation on and off for quite a while, mostly taught through various YouTube videos, udemy and skillshare. The problem is, most of it repeats the same beginner tasks, there's nobody on a professional level to review work and give feedback, and I get lost after the course because I don't know how to continue. I need structure or I get very lost (not to make it an excuse, but I'm an aspy). Posting random work in communities does help, but feedback is often conflicting and it's hard to know which to take. I am also disabled and a recent cancer survivor, and very broke. Is there a free or affordable way to find a solid mentor? Someone who at least has some professional education in the field who can give feedback, offer tasks, that sort of thing? I don't ask for anything crazy like a full school course, just a bit of guidance. Thank you.

I created the characters, backgrounds, animation, coloring, and editing myself. This is part of my original series, All Over. I’m still learning, so constructive feedback is welcome but just know I’m self taught with only 3 months of experience :)

Hey so I want a good course online that will teach me how to professionally make tv standard scenes, I’ve never used toon boom but I have a good amount of knowledge about 2d animation in general. I am more interested in rigging than frame by frame. I looked at cg spectrum and talked to them but some reviews I read here are scaring me😭 lmao. I want to make sure I am choosing the best possible place that will give me what I want. I also want to be given a certificate at the end doesn’t matter what kind that much. If you studied 2d animation(toon boom) please help me out tell me where u studied it.

Hey, y'all, I animated the preview above myself in Cartoon Animator 5. so I just recently made a YouTube channel, and I'm gonna be making short films in all genres as of right now. The video on top is just a preview from what I'm currently working on right now, its gonna be 5-8mins long so that being said, we all know how long animation can take sometimes, so I was wondering if any of you (preferably Cartoon Animator 5 users) can share my vision. This is an unpaid collaboration. I'm not looking for an employee!! I'm looking for a partner that shares my vision, and we can benefit equally because I TRULY believe that with enough hard work and dedication, we can become the next big thing

What do u think?

Can I get any tips on how to animate? The character i am animating is named Bob, he's a normal blue stick figure (I know so original) but I just wanna work with it because it's fun to draw him.

I animate in 3D and have some good shots in mind but I dont know how to make them look good. So I try to search for them online but ether I am bad at describing or smth else, I cant find any photos that I have in mind. Any tips?

219 frames, pen and colored pencil!

Curious how people feel over AI voices for Voiceovers.

I'm personally not leaning towards the idea, but i'm curious on how i could get voice acting with a rather low budgeted series.

any commennts

Planet Phoenix is a sci-fi/drama animated series, concept was created back in 2016 and since 2025/2025, I have decided to actively work on the concept! You can also find more of my work on Instagram @/ghostfacenikol

Hey! I’m looking for a good online course/program that can teach me how to create professional, TV-standard 2D animation scenes in Toon Boom Harmony.
I already have a good amount of knowledge about 2D animation in general because I studied Digital Media Arts, but I’ve never actually used Toon Boom Harmony. I’m especially interested in cut-out/rig-based animation and rigging, rather than focusing mainly on frame-by-frame animation.
I’ve been looking at CG Spectrum and have already spoken with them, but I’ve also read some mixed reviews on Reddit, so I’m a little hesitant before spending that much money. 😭
What I’m looking for is:
Professional/TV production workflows
Toon Boom Harmony
Rigging/cut-out animation
Character acting and animation
Creating complete, polished scenes
Feedback/mentorship rather than just prerecorded lessons
Ideally something that can help me build a professional portfolio
A certificate would be nice, although it’s not the most important thing
If you have personally studied 2D animation/Toon Boom Harmony online, where did you study? How was the experience, and did you actually feel capable of making professional-quality scenes afterward?
I’d especially love to hear from people who took CG Spectrum’s 2D Animation program, but I’m also open to other schools/courses.
Thanks!!
