    I found this at 3 AM and i am trying not to scream. FlipaClip has always been a little irritating to use, and Procreate’s Animation function is disappointing, but this is EXACTLY what I have been HOPING I would find someday. It has the format of Procreate that I’m so used to, BUT FOR ANIMATION!! I AM SO EXCITED TO USE THIS

    I’m a terrible gambler, but from what I’ve seen… the toonsquid design squad still squeezes the ink out of the procreate savages.

    Hi really a great app on ipad, all the animators are lucky now and can get this quick.
    But I have a question please 😊
    When you use the vector brush to draw, how can you use the fill tool to color your area delimited by your draw in vector.
    Because it is impossible to color certain areas which are not closed by the same original line.
    In pixel, no problem. Areas are considered by the fill tool and you can color like in any graphic app, but with the vector, do you have some advices?
    Thank you!

    Toon squid is the best, wish you could have a fast sidebar library, not just key markers, but same concept drag and drop.

    Amazing! Just what I was looking for. One question: Is it possible to import vector files (from Adobe Illustrator f.ex.) to Toonsquid?
    Thanks for the help!

    I really love this app. And to think that this is only developed by one person. How long did it take for you to create a beautiful product like this? And what language did you use? Thanks a lot for this.

    How do you scale each drawing at the same time on the timeline? Constantly trying to resize them all correctly one by one is a hassle.
