1 Year of Animating with Zero Experience: What I Learned - (2024 Animation Reel)

[@bruhidk3341]

as someone who is learning animating by themselves, i would personaly recommend taking a break from animating, and focusing on drawing first, before i even started to animate, i was teaching myself how to draw for 4 years before i was confident enough to animate, but it worked wonders, always remember, animating is 80% drawing and 20% animating. Keep up the good work!

I have no idea why I haven't seen this channel before. Take it from me - I usually don't sub or like many channels or videos, but I'm genuinely astonished by the quality of your work. This is some high-level editing and surprisingly entertaining (and educating) storytelling! Keep up the good work, and I can GUARANTEE you will succeed with this channel.

I’m on day 4 of animating, KZbin recommended me this. Keep going! Hope I can reach day 365 one day. My biggest fear is that I never took art class, so I’m scared that my inability to draw well will slow me down too much.

I had no experience drawing as well. But we each learn at our own pace. While knowing to draw can certainly help, I don’t see it as a prerequisite to animating. As long as you understand timing and spacing (among other principles), then who’s to say your animations won’t be even better than those who can draw!

i started my 2d animation journey a year back. was regular for some months and then discontinued. restarted it again last month. planning to post it on youtube to maintain consitency. looking forward to your videos too.

Very Interesting. Keep up the good work! I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally will be watching whatever you put out.

New sub, I appreciate that you specified which app you used :D

[@AnimatorCat7]

Krita and Opentoonz are best examples of you don’t need expensive software to make good art
