- Two years ago, I made a short video on this topic where I recommended saving time by creating a character sheet and using it for reference and tracing. Since people are still watching that video, here’s five more tips for how to make your animation process more quick and efficient!

Not only video references are essential for truly visualizing body mechanics (which is impossible to properly invent without years of experience), but it's also a tremendous time saver when it comes to brainstorming since in-character acting or improv is an amazing source of inspiration for how a character should move in a shot (trying to figure this stuff out while animating is not only lengthy but can also lead to inconsistent/awkward/faked results).
One of our supervisors on feature films REQUIRED us to gather/record references before animating. And for people who think it's cheating, then let me tell you, EVERYONE cheats in the industry (Disney, Dreamworks, Illum, Fortiche...).
Oh my GOSH ITS THAT ONE GRAY CARTOON PONY THAT KEEPS RANDOMLY SHOWING UP ON MY YT FYP 🌟👑
I hate it when people say that using a reference is cheating, or they shame people for using one. It's NOT cheating and there's nothing wrong with it. If anything it should be encouraged! Using references just helps you remember more visual information than you couldn't normally rely on from just your memory. Your brain can only remember so much, so it's just a shortcut. Literally every creative industry in the planet uses video references as it helps them retain realism, pacing, and it helps them remember these techniques for future use.

References are important. When i started drawing I’d take hours just to draw with out a refrence. And you know what they always turned out bad. Refrences really do help, it is not stealing it is working smarter and helping ur brain. And now work with animation refrence really help me analyze and figure out what to do!
How do I make an animation of a human flying or bursting out from the inside
having adhd makes it rlly difficult to stay on the one task. i have to constantly change tasks other wise i get rlly bored
Same! Then i get a lot of things to do but I get mad at myself for not finishing all the animations I started 😅
that’s why i do a bunch of projects at once lol
SAME
i've learned over time that, as an indie animator, and being the only person working on my animated series, it is better to actually get something out, rather than waste time trying to perfect every little thing. so, my animation is choppy, my lines aren't polished, and my characters go off model. but i also have produced 3 episodes so far, it usually takes about a month to make each episode, and i'm about halfway finished animating the fourth episode. so, my advice? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!! also, smear frames. utilize them whenever possible :D
I agree with this. I followed an animator not because of their animations, which weren't very good, but it was good enough at telling their story. As long as ur able to understand what's going on, that's all u really need. Improvement will happen over time
How long are your episodes?
@CrazyGreenFluff how long is each episode?
I'm self learning right now. While having a full time job, can be hard.😢
I really appreciate how snappy this video is, as someone who struggles to watch longer informational videos cause I struggle to sit through 10+ minute vidoes for art help
you gotta work on that
a lot of youtubers waist peoples time by drawing out things that don't need to be, but you got strait to the point with it and I can really admire you for that.
I started dipping my toes into animation for fun lately while I prepare my portfolio in character design. I’m already getting a ton of use from each video, thank you!
you following that curve at that end was satisfying
As an animator, line accuracy should be saved for the final pass, aka, the last set of lines you ever will draw for that scene. If you spend too long trying to make it perfect you will hate the animation you're doing. Everything here is what i've learned through self teaching and are very good tips. Recommend and subscribed
I have to animate a 2 minute video for a class assignment. It doesn’t sound that bad until you realize I spent two hours for 10 seconds of animation. This really helps and I will be able to turn it in on time 😊
This is gonna be SERIOUSLY HELPFUL when it comes to making our new animated series - thank you so much for making this
I love how short yet packed with helpful tios your videos are
As a beginner animator, I find this so helpful as I want to eventually produce full animated videos in the near future, so thank you for these really helpful tips
Great and informative video, I appreciate you getting straight to the tips, no bs, in a quick concise manner! Thank you!
I love how you straight forward to the explanation! The others usually talking about unnecessary things for like- almost 1 minutes. Thank you, this helps me so much 💟 !
Best video I've seen about it. It is very explanatory, simple and direct. Thank you so much!
Respect that the videos are easily digestible and short!!❤
Ahhh i love how concise this tutorial is!!! Thanku sm for this :D
The last tip was something that i need to hear i will practice tracing better my line with a good pace thank you.
I never even thought of the first tip and I could for sure use that! like I definitely need that!!! Thank you!
AHHH THANK YOU! I been taking forever with my animations THIS WAS QUITE HELPFUL!!
Love that this was straight to the point.
Great advice! Keep up the amazing videos! :)
How havent i thought of the character sheet!!
Thanks so much for sharing that tip, im going to start working on my reference now !!
Hello :) I consider myself a beginner animator and this video was helpful. I've done other animations in the past but I gave up for a while on it, and now I'm restarting at animating. I searched 'How to animate faster'(Because I don't want to take longer than 2 months if possible 😅) and found your video! It has very helpful tips and I learned a couple of tips :D(especially the pen stabilizer lol I'm a noob🤣). I'm almost done with one animation but will be sure to use these tips on my next one :P
In the near future I'm interested in creating digital art, so will be sure to check out your other videos :) Thank you, I'm a new subscriber ^_^
I wasn't expecting actually helpful stuff but man THANK YOU you actually have real advice that isn't common sense
Short and simple advices, Thank you!
This was such a helpful video! Very clear and concise especially for a beginner animator, thank you much !!!
I've found that if I need super precise lines, it's actually easier to crank up the tools for that and then draw with the mouse. Usually works best with the tools set so that there is a bit of a delay between the cursor and the line, and then just go slow.
If I try using the pen then I have less control and have to still redraw multiple times.
This was a very helpful and straight to the point video, thank you!
Really nice! As an animator myself, I've noticed I do some of these already, it's really useful!
Dang. This video goes hard. Really good info straight to the point.
THIS IS AMAZING .. short, straight to the point and helpful ... TY
Yes yes yes! This is so much needed!
me looping my animation wip over and over again to see if somethin changes
I've just started animation and these are helping a ton, thanks!
thank you ! also can you make a video explaining how you animated that character at 0:31 seconds, mainly how you maintain proportions and how you added the clothes to the character
Awesome video and animations!
holy mother of moly this was concise, well-worded, and so so helpful!! thanks :)
This literally helped me in every way
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Subscribed thank you! Explained well and all solid wisdom!
Thank you for the tips. Needed this
thanks, you are the only channel that really cares about do it FASTER !!!
Thx! I turned a lot better at animating! ❤
As a 2D animator, i find myself making these mistakes quite often. thank you, this video was very helpful. ( :
These tips are so good!!! Thanks!!
thanks for not making it 15 minutes longer than it needs to be
Great advice! Thanks!
For me I use smear frames sometimes to create motion sometimes, it really helps!
These tips are really good!! I've been studying animation for a while but my execution still needs work :(
Something I might add for the last one about lines is that if it's going wrong too many times - take a break and do somethign else, either another activity entirely or work on another part of the animation before you come back to it and try again :)
Great tips, thank you so much!
Thanks for this advices !!!
Finally! A video that is helpful and doesn’t waste time! AmaZing!!!! I AM SUBSCRIBING
I shall take notes , im currently animating a series and this will help alot
how did i just find out about your channel?! this is great!
Holy cow. I've never received so much insight before actually trying any of those methods... I got this...
I loved your videos ❤
I can barely draw poses, why am I here
(totally saving this though for if I ever try animating)
Ayee!! ty for the tips
😊 Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Thank you for your tips!!🎉❤❤
Some excellent tips here! I have a nasty habit of adding more and more frames where one could get away with less.
Thanks for the info
Nice video! good simple tips for beginners and pros
These videos are very informative!!
Figured i'm the type of animator who likes doing it by scene or by cut. Seeing the final animation gives me motivation to do it again, and, again.
I cant seem to finish a project when I do it one by one. Like, finishing all the sketch from start to end, then moving on to lineart, and so on.
my god someone that doesn't tell their whole lore of her grandma conquering america before telling you the cookie recipe
LOOOOVVVEEEE YOOOOUUUU for thissss!!! Thank youuuuu! Subbed!
UA-cam KNEW I'm animating for the first time in months 😂
As someone who never animate before I find this pretty usefull
Good advice, thanks 👍
I need to animate in certain ways to keep my attention lol. I’ll storyboard first, my least favourite process. Then I’ll animate each frame/scene an finish it, then move onto the next. helps me gain good progress and want to finish.
Im trying to make a show but i really dont know how but tyy for the tips!
Amazing straight to the point :)
THANK YOU
THANK YOU. im beginning work on my thesis animation and am working on animating faster. would animating on 2's have the same effect as a lower framerate? like 2's on a 24fps animation being equivalent to animating at 12fps.
One thing I keep doing on my animation page is starting over and changing the characters clothes. I think I gotta calm down on changing the outfits so much
Hey this is really helpful epically for me since im trying to get into animation but i just dont agree with reusing poses,emotions,or frames i dont know it just fills so...dead doing that thats why ill always redraw every frame even if i get burned out...its just more life like to me but i still like this video its still go lots of tips and tricks that help
great. all of this are helpful
I concur!
thank you 😭
How do I find your video on model sheets that you mentioned at the beginning?
Love your art style!!!
That very last clip was a flex
This is a really good video 👍
Great video! 🎉
God thank you so much
Alternative title: How to find good advice, inspo and one of ur fav UA-cam all in around 2 minutes!!!
New subs!❤❤❤
Thanks for the vid!!!!
one minute in and im bowing lol, thankyou!
strange, it always seemed to me that doing both line art and colour at the same time felt faster. Nice short tut btw
Whatever works best for you! I would try out both ways and see which one feels more comfortable and/or more efficient.
I once made 2 full animations on PowerPoint presentation one was 2 minutes and the other was 4. I made them both in 1 to 4 months
Succinct and really helpful.
1:00 I'm SOO glad to hear this mentioned. I remember when I first started animating, that I thought copying/reusing frames would he seen as lazy- but I managed to convince myself it was fine if it looked good :'D 🤌🏽
We killing Times with this one
Hello, what program do you use for animating?
Ty for this video I need help fr
Thanks for the vid. For the final way, I use Adobe Illustrator.
