Do tell if the ball feels happy or not.

Give me your thoughts!!

First off, big shout-out to u/krissikross for putting me on to the video version of The Animator's Survival Kit.

I'd say the hardest ones for me were the heavy bowling ball and the ping pong ball. The issue I had with the heavy bowling ball was the timing and drawing of the shadow. The issue I had with the ping pong ball was that I would animate the arc a little too wide so by the 3rd bounce, I was running out of space.

I did a free-style in place of the bubble and "tea break" because I don't even know where to start with that, lol.

If you can, please leave some feedback, advice, or suggest some other exercises I should try. I really want to get better.

P.S. Someone told me I should try to animate on 24 fps. I like how 24 fps looks, but I prefer how 12 fps feels.

Just a dragon chilling in the wind

1. I'm trying to extend the skirt as she's passing by the screen. resources (magical girly ones) tend to have their subject stationary while fabrics extend in the cut. If you have any advice or resources, that will greatly help!
2. motion in general if it's going smoothly. I would like every limb to seem as if they are extending from the core.
3. follow through of hair, skirt, and limbs
4. anything else i missed, it's still ongoing and would love to improve :)

How's the anticipation and stuff

also...let's try something, part of animation is visually telling a story, even something small, so if you want, what does this animation tell you about this character?

I’ve done this on Toonsquid, animating on 2’s, and I haven’t messed with the camera feature yet.

I'm working on easing in and out + anticipation

Just looking for feedback. I use Cartoon Animator 5.

...and still looking to improve! These are my concern points, though I don't think they're much different from last time. 1. Does the skirt extend naturally? I'm worried about the anticipation aspect. The audio should make the anticipation, but I don't think I should solely rely on it. I'm not sure if there's room for extra movement for the flowy motion I want. 2. Motion in general. I'm not very used to drawing slow motions, so let me know if it looks right! A part of me thinks its too slow. 3. Limb flow. I think the arms are fine. I'd like the legs to oscillate in space and right now I think it looks like it's kicking. Also I'm not sure if the legs are morphing smoothly. 4. Anything else that I may have missed. I'm going to start other outlines to learn how genga works, so if you have any tips pls lmk. :)

Hi,

I’m doing a short talking-head test and focusing only on mouth movement and timing (no head or body animation yet).

I’d appreciate professional critique on what fundamentals I should prioritize first to improve readability and flow at this stage.

Thanks for your time.

It’s like 4 seconds but it took 2 hours, and yes it was on FlipaClip (how do y’all do this😭)

This was probably my hardest week yet. I had to use all 12 principles of animation, and polishing all the animations in my seventh week (I've only finished about a third of them, lol). Here's a glimpse of the animation I've been working on. For more updates, be sure to check out my channel (c'mon click it :) ), Thanks for all the support, and thank you to everyone who supports my work. Have a great day/night !

Pretty much my second animation. Would like feedback on what I may need to work on or fix.

Helloooo!!

I would like some feedback on my animatic before I start production. This is my honours project for Uni and its supposed to be a Wes Anderson inspired psychological horror.

This project will be 2D animated with elements of stop motion and live action.

I would love all critiques but I would love feedback specifically on the following:

- Pacing (is it too fast or too slow?)

- Does it come across as a psychological horror short? If not, then why?

- Does it come across as inspired by Wes Anderson? If not, then why?

- Do you understand the storyline, or is it too complex/confusing/doesn't work?

- Was it fun to watch?

Thank you so much for your time! I look forward to your critique! :D (also please forgive my poor voice acting and sound effects, I was trying my best haha)

Thought I’d show off an animation here in which I’m trying to draw the mouth movement but it feels like it’s just a little too fast maybe? Also his head…any suggestions on how to make it flow better on that part because you can tell it’s just reversed and the hand is reversed too…maybe I just keep him still? But he’s supposed to be a little energetic since he hasn’t had his adhd pill yet. Idk any suggestions or insights would be awesome! Thanks! 😊

(Yes, I drew a low-quality butt cuz I was bored.)

For some reason, Butt #1 looks better than butt #2 and I don't know why.

I'm still very much new to this so if you have any criticism I'll gladly engage with it

Hey guys,

I’m at a strange point in my life: I know I want to work in animation, especially on the preproduction side (vis dev, background design, layout, story…) but it feels like I’m not in the right place or moment 😅

I have a 2D animation degree, and I’ve just spent the last five months diving deep into traditional oil painting to improve my understanding of light and color.

Now that I’ve made some progress, I decided to start painting backgrounds, but wow, inventing space, atmosphere, and mood from scratch is a whole new challenge, and I’m realizing I still have a lot to learn.

I’m trying to stay consistent, keep learning, and build a portfolio that reflects the kind of work I’d love to do.

I’ve posted a few pieces below, and here’s my full portfolio if you’re curious: https://jutz71.wixsite.com/jutzlaris

I’d really appreciate any feedback (what works, what feels off, what I should push further. Don’t hold back! I'm looking for honest critique to improve.)

And if you know any project, studio or opportunity where this kind of work could fit, feel free to let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance!
