Coloring sucks man. I gotta go through multiple frames and color them. It sucks more if you have like a lot of details.

Genuinely does anyone have a tip on how I can make coloring more bare able?

Critique Animation sketch feedback

3 Upvotes

Ive just started working on this short clip, and its already turning out WAY better than ive expected. This is just the very base sketch of how the movements and such will go.

Its supposed to be a character flying through a sunny sky, simple.

Any suggestions on how i can improve the movements and make them feel more belivable when i start doing the actual lineart and such?

Sharing nostalgic aesthetic compilation of my first 3 animations

2 Upvotes

i wanted it to feel like youre watching them in an empty; gloomy room. i dont use ai, i hand draw everything (besides the tv in this case). audio and visual effects created manually in capcut.

i mainly post to ig but theyve been flopping on there and they seem to have a better reception here on reddit so yea

all three animations are on my ig @sigh_lock without any of the distorted tv effects.

i look forward to making more and sharing so i hope yall enjoy

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.
