wow thats fun. I think it looks great. I think the only frame that bugs me is when the shirt snaps it would be good for his left arm to be really stiff to really emphasize how much force he was putting on and really sell the fact that he had so much energy that it made him topple.

kinda like this

the only thing i can think to change about it would be to make him have more of an impact when he hits the ground. he does seem very heavy so maybe a couple dust clouds or a small shake of the v-cam as he hits the ground

Awesome luis, this is exactly the same exercise i'm doing for next tuesday!

I procrastinated a bit on the background since I posted this, hope it doesn't mean its disqualified, but i'm going to try and really work out him putting on his robe for the next few days.

It's a little bit of a pain in the ass to keep his form, and I ultimately want him to use his whole body to help him squirm his head through the hood.

That's really good!

This looks like good practice for me, cause I'm kind of new to animating really, I mostly do games, so I might join in on this as it keeps running!

Question though, how should I start off my animation, what do all you guys do?

Thanks man. It took way too long to get what I had. If you look at each frame all the pictures looks really bad. It's a miracle that when slapped together they look good.

might i ask why? haha. It was just a training-animation, and the training was about him getting dressed, not working in full 24 fps. I could have added more frames, but i wouldnt have learnt anything from that.

Wow Luis the smoothness of that piece was very Disney-esque.
Anyway, what settings are you using for your lines. I'm very annoyed with my brush tool settings at the moment.

That's probably because it's too hard for you to animate...? Animating someone putting clothes on is different, harder than most things and useful to practice on.

My settings are always default...

Also Karl's was a pinch slow because my frame rate was originally 20 and Karl's was 24. i set it to 22 to be a good compromise. It was fun... funner than i thought... i got a chance to practice cloth movement as well as intricate human behavior.

That's pretty cool. When he is poking his head through, to exaggerate his actions more - you could have his legs bend and his body weight shift left and right because at the mo just his shoulders & head are really moving.

Your drawings are so smooth, I cant draw anywhere as near accurate with a tablet compared with pen and paper and so i end up with a wobbly animation. Maybe its the fact I'm using a small bamboo tablet with a 22inch screen and my errors are enlarged. What are you using to get such quality drawings? or maybe I'm not putting enough time into each drawing.

it depends... i know people like Ansel and Pako have clean lines and they are both tablet artists... i cant speak for Ansel but Pako zooms in alot when he draws... the only danger in that is if you dont have a sketch layer you'll fuck up cause you wont have an idea of how big to make things in relation to the actual size... so your characters head might come out real smooth but also tiny.
