How can you do this effect where the camera or characters look like they wobble around, like its animated with the straight ahead technique. (Animation by @wherikhen on Instagram).

Hi everyone,

This is a really early stage where i had put all the elements together to get an idea of the global look. Since then I changed the little rock buddy's animation and i'm currently cleaning the goat.
For this animation i'm painting by hand the background, trees and sky ! First time trying this

Also for the wheels i was proud cause i didn't use a 3D model, it's not perfect but it works !

Technically my first completed digital animation (I have a few wip sketches that never got anywhere) that isn't a bouncing ball of some variety. Most of my animation knowledge has been theoretical before this point.

I know there's some problems (like an annoying off-colored green mark on some of the animation that I can't find the source of) but I'm really proud of my first lil animation here! No associated sound yet, I'm taking this slow.

Tbh, the mistakes in coloring could probably have been fixed by me not finishing this at 3am but I was on a roll.

Anyway- any advice on the animation itself?

Hey!
Finally finished this animation ! I will post the mp4 version with sound too, as the gif one doesn't allow a pretty render. I put some of the progress in the next slides if anyone wants to see. That was my first time doing the background with paint, the process was really fun, seeing everything coming together. Thanks for the feedback in the past posts!

Hi, here is the progress from an animation I post some days ago. I finished the 2D animation part but still need to work the carriage's shadows. Next will be finishing painting the background by hand. Then, I'll have to put everything together in after effect and do the compositing. In the next slide you can see the color key of the final image, friends of mine helped me improve the global atmosphere and colors (you can compare with slide 3 which was the first draft). I wonder if i need to put shadows on the characters, not sure yet, tell me your thoughts ! I'm happy with how it turns out, little by little. The actual construction aspect of a scene like this is really interesting, it shows how we need to plan well before jumping in the making (i'm still trying to do this and not start animating right away 😆)

Started drawing 5 months ago from zero. Got bored with just static art so I decided to try animation if it would be more fun and i think it is, although time consuming

And it's one of the longest ones I've ever done; I've also finished the line art.

Wip of a running animation in perspective.
I'm trying to convey the perspective by the feet placement and the progressive height of the character. What i found helpful was keeping track of the main keys by tracing various points of colors as shown on slide 2, it helps with keeping everything in balance. The 3rd slide was an earlier first draft. It mostly lacked weight i think. Also the shaking of the camera helps with the intensity of the action.
Now i have to make this better! 😄

I've been working on improving the running animation for my game, so here's a comparison between the old and new versions!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new version. Does the movement feel natural? Is there anything you think I could improve?

If you'd like to see how the animation looks in the actual game, here's the Steam page:

Any feedback is appreciated!

it is as exactly as it says

what’s the point of filling in with random colors if they can just put the normal colors needed for the final result?

Here is a recent animation I made,

Feel free to send me feedbacks !!!!

I need help- i wanna animate but idk what free software to use im so gonna crash out AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
