Psst psst, the entire project that this animation is a part of got completed! ua-cam.com/video/NWRFzLthMIc/v-deo.html It has improvement animations from nearly 30 extremely talented people, so please check it out :)))
I think the most important thing to know when you start animation is JUST GET IT DONE. It doesn't HAVE to look perfect, just DO it!!! I seriously struggle with perfectionism in art. I envision what it COULD be and not what it SHOULD be. In addition, I want to animate things that are +30 seconds, and some even +2 minutes. Yeah, I've yet to finish a single animation... Still trying to actually follow this tip I mentioned at the beginning of my comment.
yeah pretty much i also see a lot of people stall on making something they want to make, because they're "not good enough yet". but the thing is that when you try making something you want to be able to make, that is precisely how you get better at doing that thing
This is exactly me. I can't even animate a bouncy ball yet my imagination is running wild and I want to make so many things yet I haven't even developed the skills at all.
I started animating only recently. Tough It's quite an different experience when you try to learn 2D and 3D animation at the same time. Loving your progress! This is what brought me into reading Warrior Cats few years ago. + Inspires to create my own animations :D
I’m still here. At 4:00 am. In my loft bed. Why did I wake up? Why did I write this? What is the meaning of life? Anyways great job on the edgy Hollyleaf, I’m re-reading power of three rn so I’m learning? her again. That’s a strange way to put it can you tell a cant function properly at 4 AM good night
3:04 the problem with that is that if i tried to draw anything with my mouse the lines would just go everywhere and itd look like a 2 year old drew it 😂
It's amazing how much art and animation skills can improve in just few years. I started to animate around 2012 and i'm sad that i deleted most of my old animations from my old channel. It's fun to watch how much you can improve on art by looking at your old work.
I know other people have probably said it, but I need to say it. “I’m Still Here” is a perfect name for this map. Everything you said about why you animate I agree with completely. While I haven’t done any animations (yet) everything you said resonates with me about why I love to draw.
Frame interpolation is a perfect example of a computer not knowing what to do with the inbetweens :,D The inbetweens aren't always supposed to just mark the middle point between two frames, that usually just makes the movement look kind of unnatural. I would have loved to go into the inbetweening in this video but I think that maybe it would be better explained by someone who has studied this stuff
Never give up. Breathe life into your work. Create entire worlds. Show people the type of universe residing within your mind. It's the truest form of expression.
Never be afraid to fail, everything takes time & everyone has low points, but never give up. Your lowest point, your worst work, is not what defines your skill; your highest point does, and while at some point you can’t keep doing down, you can ALWAYS go up! So rise up, and fail time and time again, but never stop the climb! One day your dream, your goal, you’ll reach it up there! 😊
Videos like this remind me of the time I charged up my old tablet from 2015, I used to animate on flipaclip and I made a character called spike who was a black wolf with green highlights on the ends of his hair, and I would do just random ‘edgy’ animations on him 😂. I still animate now on my iPad and I’m still using flipaclip, and I’m happy with how far I’ve come! And I find it so cool to see other people who feel the exact same way as I do when I look at my old art and animations 😭😂✌️
I don't know if I should switch to drawing/animating on a computer, since I've only been drawing with a phone. Animating/drawing on a computer has always been super hard to me though. (sorry that my english sucks, I'm from finland + I'm hella tired rn)
Everything is difficult when you're not used to it, I can't draw on a phone for the life of me :'D When I got a drawing tablet, I found it really difficult to drawn on as well
I remember finding your channel back in 2016 it’s been fun watching you grow, I myself dony animate but I’d love to try it someday just don’t have the best tools to do so especially not in digital art oof, even in this timeframe of watching your channel my art has changed a lot to, as for myself I’m happy with how far my art has gotten and finally in 2019 I got confidence to start showing my art online, now others can watch me grow and like my art too it’s been a blast so far!
I’m starting to really enjoy your content you really inspire me to do my best on my work and unlike a lot of art video your content is actually really nice to watch I can also relate with the “bringing horrible monstrosity’s to the world” part bc I have made several children errr creatures that honestly are very cursed like pdoof :> anyway I just really wanted to say this bc I have been enjoying your content for awhile now :)
i like to see not all artists started better than me, i am practicing for years now and still don't see a sign of improvement, i wish i knew how to do it, but let's keep trying edit: i am more into tweening... even tho most people say it's not animation i like it a lot.
I haven’t really been following your channel a lot… heck this is the first vid I’ve seen, but I can confidently say just from this, you are an amazing person with amazing talents. I love how much you have encouraged me just by this one video. Sadly, other than this there’s no other way I can support you. But anyways, thank you!
Been animating for 4+ years? Can't seem to animate something I like that is long enough to tell even a smidgen of a story. If I could I would look at my old scratch animations but those are lost. This really makes me want to just animate freely like I used to.
Ooh, I love the idea of using your mouse for storyboarding, and how that can help!! That's an awesome tip, and you're an amazing animator and MAP host!! ♡
omg i cant belive you have so much courge because i only have dat when im drawing and when no one is saying my name cheering me on! ;-; also thank you for inspiring me the seond i just started watching your vid it really helps.
Since I was in elementary school I always wanted to do art and be good at it, I took around 5-6 years of art classes each of which I failed and that really demotivated me, but now almost a junior in Highschool I finally decided I’ll try to do art once more, I do enjoy it but like you said in the video it’s really hard to see improvement and I just feel like my drawing are the equivalent to a 6 year olds drawing, and I feel embarrassed and afraid to show people my work that I spend around 10-20 hours on because It looks sloppy. This is roadblock is really a hard one to get over, and It’s really detouring me from doing art even though I would like to do it so much, I’m just so unsure what to do.
@@Northflowo whenever i see rain it’s kinda slanted so it gets in my face And in all animations i’ve seen too- But then again whenever it’s raining *_REALLY_* hard i’m in bed freaking out lol
I could use some tips on drawing animals- so uh I’m gonna ask the questions that I need answers on 1. HOW DO I SRAW THE SNOUT 2.how do I draw the body good 3. How do I know where to place the furry looking parts

You probably already know this lmao, and you might even agree, but if you have a good sketch that you're happy with it really saves time when doing the lineart, I once spent nearly ten minutes trying to get the perfect sketch, or at least a good one, and once I was done with that the lineart didn't take nearly as long as it normally would, since I tried to detail the sketch a little in some places so I knew exactly what I wanted to draw there. I don't animate much, sadly, since I don't have a very good program (Kleki, random Google platform) and the only way for me to shove all of my wacky art together is with Gifmaker.me, which does work, I've made all three of the animations I am the most proud of with those two, but again, not the best, at all.
i'm so new to animation and i want to be good enough to do like 3d model animation so i can animate a fan made memento mori for dead by daylight. this inspired me
I wanted to go in an I'm still here type of MAP but I never was accepted, even despite 11+ years of animation experience, people just.. kind of ignore me I guess? I hope one day I can try one of these for a MAP though one day
I have not animated a single thing outside of Flipnote on my old dsi when I was 11 and here I am really wanting to animate with tons of movement... God help me lmao
I might redo an old animatic I made based on the one time I read Hollyleaf's story in the Untold Stories book, but I'm not sure cause I don't even have the old animatic anymore
Psst psst, the entire project that this animation is a part of got completed! ua-cam.com/video/NWRFzLthMIc/v-deo.html It has improvement animations from nearly 30 extremely talented people, so please check it out :)))

I started reading warrior cats when I had pretty good art style
I’m lucky I had an art style before I started warriors. But before I read warriors-
Pretty much lmao
yeah i was like 11 when i started but I only drew like 3 cats but they were pretty good
nah mine was a bit different, but probably because i only really drew on paper

Do you have any tips? (I want to animate stuff but I'm nervous it'll be really bad and I don't really have any good apps for digital art.)
@@iclyn78 It doesn't matter how bad it looks as long as you like it! That's what keeps my motivation up. I'd reccomend animating at 12 fps
