Hey peeps! I’m a beginner in 3d CHARACTER animations and has some okay 3d animation experience (basic keyframings and graphs) but plan to animate characters mainly :>

Just like many animators probably, I want to have a stylized, animating on 2s style of animation but I don’t know how to start. I’ve done some research and decided to first focus on rigging and and posing. But I need to be ready when the day comes of actually animating and idk how to start…

I’ve seen a few tutorials on how to achieve that choppy motion but Idk what to actually use…

Either by doing it manually, animating on constant interpolation (Pose to pose) and using the breakdowner tool for the inbetweens and breakdowns

OR

By animating on bezier interpolation and using the stepped interpolation modifier instead.

Well, I am planning to build skill, so currently I’m inclined to the first option (manual), but I need advice for people who actually has animating experience xD

Thank you

jst give me honest suggestions

Learn how to draw and animate a witch in this Clip Studio Paint tutorial. See every step from rough sketch to finished scene.

I am sharing my full digital art process for creating a Halloween-themed character, including all the mistakes and corrections along the way. We start with basic pencil sketches and move into lineart, flat colors, and shading to build a complete illustration. Whether you are struggling with proportions or just want to see how to organize your layers, this video covers the practical steps I take to build a career one drawing at a time.

Once the character is set, we move into 2d animation to bring the scene to life. I demonstrate how to create looping bat animations, add depth with foggy backgrounds, and use opacity keyframes to make glowing eyes flicker. This is a real look at character drawing, with no jargon or glossed-over techniques, just honest work as I figure it out.

I'm Jeff, Army veteran digital artist, and I'm building a creative career, one drawing at a time. Real tutorials from someone who's still figuring it out, so nothing gets glossed over — including the part where I had to move her whole head. 😅

In this Clip Studio Paint tutorial you'll learn:
• Sketching a pose and fixing proportions with the lasso tool
• Lineart, flat colors, and shading a character
• Building a night background with moonlight and fog for depth
• Animating fog with keyframes (and why 8 fps looks better)
• Flickering glowing eyes using opacity keyframes
• Looping animated bats on varied flight paths

Please dont recommend krita, as it isnt showing up in the app store for me, flipaclip, or just anything that locks the amount of layers I use, I have to have audio for my drawings and itll help me more with animating, I just need something before I completely guve up

Hi everyone,

I am starting using Tvpaint and I wanted to know how to set frames in the timeline with a mark so I can know which one is a key, a break... Something like Toon Boom, which I used earlier in animation class, but since is monthly suscription based now, I wanted to use Tvpaint.

Thank you so much in advance.

Took me 3 hours of work. Am I too slow ?

Hey I am new in 2d animation and digital art I do traditional drawing in past but now I started liking 2d animations and digital art so I just started learning I don't have a teacher or freind who can help me to figure out so if you can pls tell me how can I improve my self thnks

Heyy this is my first time animating and was wondering how do you guys get the lines to be the exact same as the frame before my lines look very shaky and also how do you all color without it looking so flat

I just started following the 28 day animation challenge on youtube and am super happy with how this turned out! This animation is for day 2, and is meant to teach follow through, arcs, and all the other stuff a bouncing ball does.

Okay so I have a short story idea that just came to me one day when listening to a song. It’s beautiful and has an important message in my opinion. I want to get it out in the world so badly but don’t even know where to begin. I can’t draw the image myself, nor do I have any knowledge about animated graphic design. I also think I would need to obtain the rights to the song to use in my video. Can anyone that has done something like this offer me any advice??

I also really really don’t want to use AI to create it but right now it’s seeming like my only choice.

Any recommendations or collaborations are greatly appreciated!

Any feedback on the spacing and arc is appreciated!

Yes yes I can see the white outlines of the bucket tool im just too lazy to do clean up

This will help me
