i disagree with fluff about timing but its true you should mind spacing

I accidentally threw the timing thing in there, timing is actually good.

Well I inked it but I'm not happy with it that much. I need to ink more in Flash, my lines in it are terrible.
I'll let the thing explain itself.

I need to animate (and ink) more, I'm very rusty :/

If you squint you can see the movements are actually very fluid and great, its your linework that sucks pretty badly haha. You need to work on consistency of your frames because right now they are jittery and go everywhere. If it helps, try thinking of him like a stickfigure as far as his leg goes, as if you were drawing his legs with a big brush that doesnt change size. That way you can keep the volume the same.

hahaha Yeah that's pretty much the worst thing on it. I actually like the rough more.

The one problem i have with it is that everything happens too fast. You need more pacing in your storyline to build suspense and intrigue, rather than just jumping from one place to another

Art is mighty fine though. Mighty fine.

I agree, it could be slower, also your drawings are good but your compositions aren't as dramatic as I would like to see. Before you start animating start breaking down your scenes into light and dark and really think about what emotional content you want to convey in your comps.

Arrrrrg. I need a second opinion on this!

Did this short movement for a flash i'm working on, but I can't decide if it looks better in doubles or ones.

Comparison

Keep in mind he'll be talking while he does this, but after watching both, i can't decide. Sometimes i think it's too quick of a movement, then other times I think it's too slow.

Would really appreciate any help on this.

you are missing half the walk, nice though

the following is optional but even if the nouse whipping LOOKS good, it feels awkward, i mean, that cant be the proper physics behind it and i know animation is not about physics but...just an advise

there's not a bog difference at all, I guess that's why you asked, I'd do 2's to save time

there is a difference, cover one while you watch the other, i like the one on ones better. Has more impact to me

The difference is in timing. He didn't adjust the positions to accommodate the different frame rates so the one animated on 2's looks clunkier/less fluid.

He shouldn't have used the same positions, rather there should have been bigger changes occurring faster when he was using 2's to compensate so it doesn't look as clunky

Hmm thanks for the input. I guess this is because I did it in singles and then afterwards, just doubled a few of the frames rather than redoing the whole movement.

I'll just leave it the way it is though. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure if it's okay but I'm gonna post a couple of things even though everyone seems to be only posting one at a time.

I've only been animating for about a year, at least on Flash, These are a couple of the first animations I did.

Good shadow stuff dude! The walking is odd, a lot like yotam perel's style of animating walking where the legs criss cross instead of going in front of one another. It looks really interesting! I bet you'd be great at the experimental animation kinda stuff

Thanks man, I'm in the middle of making a 40 second animation. Also, You're like my forum buddy, ever since i came here you've commented right after me on every forum.

I really like the face morphing first one. It's a pretty seamless transition and never took me out of the animation. The last one though, I don't feel like the creature's proportions were consistent, so it kinda took me out of it. All criticism aside, I like it man, it's got a sort of "Adventure Time" flair to it that's becoming popular these days.

This is something I've been working on for the better part of today. I started coloring it, but I don't think I'm going to finish, as I'm not satisfied with how it turned out. I think I need to start using symbols and animating body parts rather that drawing every detail in every frame by hand.

This is some great work!

One month ago, I was making a adventure time style animation; just for fun.
And I have a little story with this characters(its a parody), but I think its something missing talking in animation.
I need some hints and tips.
My practice:

i like it but it seems you should pay more attention to detail in general, and i mean you really need to, REALLY

for instance, when i click on play the background dissapears or at then end you can see the backround is weird at the left edge; also stuff like lineart and better use of position of characters on the screen - dunno, you are on the right track, you just need to excercise better judgement when doing stuff

Hello again fellow Newgrounders.

Here I come again to show another walk cycle I am doing to practice.
walkcycle 2 rough
This one was done entirely on Flash, I'm kind of getting used to it so yeah. This one seems like it will turn out better.
Anyone has anything to say about this before I start doing inbetweens?
