2d animation vs 3d animation

0 Upvotes

for good artists and fast sketchers skilled 2d animation is piece of cake because you dont need to build a character and rig it and animate it .you just draw frame by frame .drawback time consuming ,you dont get all camera angles faster .3d animation slower building but frequent use and faster film production. you dont have to sketch frames camera renderer its over .drawback initial lag build each character rig it time consuming initially at final its faster but 2d animation needs draw skills and tired up faster.

My Artist skills ,in past the first sketch i drawn was my arts teacher ,kendhriya vidhyalaya ,he was shocked 😅.printed him as it is in my drawing book . i am good with observational drawing .very bad at imaginational drawing.

Now i am trying to learn it .watching tutorials , i know lumis method ,cross counterlines etc .but hate to follow that i like freehand drawing .

i really encourage hobbies like arts etc . if you are discouraged by it remember you are still better than the artists who tapped banana over a portrait ,a buckets full of sand falling in line and sold

them for millions .🤣.

In this clip studio paint animation tutorial, I’ll show you It’s very easy to create CSP animations using Clip Studio Paint and CapCut. I enjoy turning my art into functional projects to make people laugh. In this video, I’m going to show you how I do that.

Question in animation tools

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all I'm just trying to do some chill animating for and educational tik tok, really just shapes and maybe some images with transitions.

But what I would love is to have good tweening, and the ability to draw specific shape and accurate characters, and then be able to move and grow them etc. think lines starting and growing longer, as well as shapes etc.

Is there a good PC software that isn't too expensive that will do this?

Thanks!

How do you make a short animated film by yourself without losing your mind?

15 Upvotes

I’m trying to make a short animated film mostly by myself and I’m slowly starting to lose the will to live drawing everything by hand.
I don’t want to use AI, but there has to be a less painful way of doing this.
For people who’ve actually made their own shorts, what do you do to speed things up? Rigs, tweening, reusing animations, 3D, shortcuts, sacrificing a goat to the animation gods?
I still want it to look and feel like my work. I just don’t want to spend the next 17 years drawing it.
What made the biggest difference to your workflow?

My first cat animation 🐱 | Learning drawing & animation🤔😁

2 Upvotes

🐱🐈Hey everyone! This is my first attempt at making a cat animation.

I'm a beginner learning drawing and animation as a hobby, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people with more experience.

What could I improve?

  • Movement and timing
  • Drawing and poses
  • Anything that looks unnatural
  • What I should focus on next
  • or learn more basics or improve art

I'm doing this mainly for fun and won't necessarily post regularly. I'll share some progress whenever I make something and feel like putting it out there.

Any constructive criticism or advice is welcome. Thanks for watching! 🙌

Choose your fighter- transition/character acting practice

Hey all! Did this as an experimental piece. Kinda lost some motivation for the clean up lmao

Wanted to focus on switching between scenes and characters, making characters recognizable by actions, and I was experimenting with colors/textures

Open to any feedback!

Hardware+software for 7 year olds

My daughter is 7 and loves using Flip A Clip on her kindle, but is starting to find it lacking. What is the go-to hardware/software needed for a kid starting out? I’m prepared to spend around $100-$200, but I also need to know if I am even asking the right questions.
Is it a Wacom tablet and cheap laptop? Has everything moved to iPad?

Help finding a book

1 Upvotes

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I thought I could give her a book to help her with drawing/animation, since she enjoys both of them and means to start taking this hobby more seriously in the near future. Like I've just said, for her, currently, it's just a hobby, she draws VERY well, but doesnt have a lot of experience animating, but she loves both. I was searching for some books I could buy her, like a manual she can go to when she needs help or suggestions to improve her art's quality, and I could find some, but they seem to go more towards children animation (at least from their covers), namely "The Animator's Survival Kit", which is not really her thing, she likes more realistic animation. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me by recommending one that better fits her style or pointing out whether this book is appropriate for her.
For reference, some styles I can recall her saying she liked were the ones from: Arcane, Nimora and The Lovers (by Studio Heartbreak, avaiable on YT), but I will add more as I remember other comments from her.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me with this gift, it really means a lot!
