[@CoconutJustice]

So cool! I'm glad BAM Animation gave you a shout out. I'm excited to watch all your videos.

[@kamzalot3]

That's how I found her, from Instagram in my recommended 💀💀💀💀

Super helpful and fun to watch! I appreciate the way you explain HOW to do things as well as WHY you’re doing them the way you’re doing them. Also, the way you section off the information into small, digestible chunks makes the whole process feel a lot less daunting. Cheers on a great series!

[@Ben31337l]

The only change that I would have, is not to use stretching to make the bouncing motion, make certain components (head, front & rear legs) and join them up using freshly joined lines to make it feel more natural. Stretching the model to create the bouncing motion makes the entire project look unrealistic despite your best attempts to make it be realistic.

The reason I subbed.

Amen

[@punkandrockgirf]

Straight from BAM, and Im loving your content.

[@ignacioflorez8667]

Same, just subscribed. Awesome content!

[@ClockworkWyrm]

I've been animating professionally for almost a decade but I still found this video to be informative, fun, and enjoyable to watch. Not to mention your character design is adorable. Excellent work, I look forward to watching your other videos and I'll be recommending your channel to my friends.

[@momobunny2456]

Bam animation sent me here, new subscriber 😊✌🏾

[@Keetz]

I've never heard anyone explain arcs that well, subbed!!

[@NikaJeraj]

This was recommended to me. After watching this video, I realized how hard animating really is. Much respect to all you animators out there!

[@tomgoffnett5624]

WOW! Just came over from BAM and they weren't kidding when they told everyone how great your content is. This is an amazing instructional. Very informative and entertaining.

[@user-jd1hy9bg1d]

Indeed me too ^^

[@oskararnarson]

This was probably one of the best explanations I've seen on animation.

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

love the simple motion physics explanations. good job

[@IvanMyRooM]

I must say i was very much surpriesed how good this video is. Thank you very much!!! Looking forward for more videos

[@christopherwright6032]

These are by far the most helpful 2D animation tutorials, thanks!

[@activebhai]

Wow the best explanation I have ever came across nicely explained and very well demonstrated thank you so much

[@maximilianomalvido]

The way you explain everything in this video is amazing! Thank you so much

[@snraijuu]

This is the best explanation of a walking cycle for animals I've ever seen

[@AlmusFallow]

You make amazing videos. Honestly at this rate there is no way people won't come and watch when you put out. Thank you very much!

[@deathstriker6667]

I always wanted to learn animating and this channel is PERFECT for it. I am only sorry I didn't find this channel sooner. I am so glad BAM gave you a shout out.

[@ainoaguy]

So happy to see you post!!! Your videos are my favorite to watch while working on my own stuff

[@midnightcat6116]

I found you through Bam 💥 animation! I’m so glad. Your tutorials are super cool! Subscribed 🥰🌿🙌🍫

[@TwInKiE1O12]

This was soooo helpful. I’m not an animation major, but I’m studying motion graphics, and this will help with my past project that has a walk cycle with a dog. You explained everything so well and I understood /why/ you were doing the things you were doing instead of you just showing us what you did. So awesome!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!! ❤️❤️

[@mr.sasiwat2469]

You r the best animator on youtube I’d just a very beginner too much to learn i cant even draw I’d like to see how you organize your layer by step

[@gregkrazanski]

this is like... instant subscribe. incredible and clear teaching

[@ericduchesnes7340]

Thank you Andrea ! 👍 💖 🕊

[@zeljkostanisavljevic4665]

Very good, fantastic tutorial thank you Andrea!

[@spicy.dragonfruit]

So bouncy! You make it look so easy. Thanks for the breakdown. 🦊

[@zacharyaquino]

You are crazy talented! Please don’t ever stop making videos.

[@emilygrae]

Honestly, I started this only to have something playing in the background as I was drawing something, I saw "Animating a Fox" in my suggestion list and thought, sure, that'll be cute. Well holy moly I ended up not doing what I was going to because I was glued to the screen! I'm subbing to you for sure!

[@StephanLorse]

This is the most amazing Tutorial about Frame by Frame Animation I have ever seen! QoQ

[@albinopixel6131]

I haven't been drawing digitally for that long, and I only occassionaly try to animate simple things like a bounce or something. But this really helped me animate my first super simple, quadruped creature without it looking all weird and glitchy! Thank you so much for your informative video! ^^

[@ryanpapenfuss6958]

BAM was correct, really fun to watch, very entrancing seeing something being animated from scratch

[@melissabrowns786]

HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 10K SUBS?! your videos are so good, you just came up in my recommended and I'm so glad I clicked.

[@artisticbunny1]

Woah! I just found this video in my recommended. OMG Your animation is scarily smooth. Thank you for showing us your process! This definitely will help me in the future with not only quadruped animals, but some of these tips are definitely going to help me with uniformity, and the bouncy look I’m trying to achieve. Also, I love how cute this came out! Amazing job!

[@kanawati]

Came here from BAM and loved it. Good work.

[@user-jd1hy9bg1d]

Me too, hey you look familiar, hmmm

[@MikeJones-iz1qq]

This is so brilliant and intricate. Thanks so much. Quadruped movement has always confused me and this helps a lot to break it down.

[@SG-qb9wo]

Seriously one of the best animation tutorials out there. Great content and fun to watch. The fox is super cute!

[@Otakux2x1]

Well I didn't came here from BAM, I came here by myself thanks, great video!! c:

[@GhostSublimeAnimations]

i love how bouncy the final is ;)

[@gargoyled_drake]

just popped up on my recommended, guess youtube wants me to get back into learning animation and to do more animations, great video!

[@david_manfredini]

This serie was AMAZING! Really inspiring !

[@AoiKage86]

That was a very interesting video. I'm not really close to start animating anytime soon, but this was really inspiring. I appreciate BAM for sending me over here. You are definitely going above and beyond. Thanks again for taking the time to explain what you were doing.

[@DesireKlingensmith]

This has GOT to be your career, and that is AWESOME! I love your art style, I love how well you teach all this stuff, and I hope I can get to your level one day! Right now I’m just using Ipad, procreate, and rough animator. I will definitally need to upgrade my tools to do what you do!

[@stonewick0073]

You make it look so simple...thank you andrea 😊

[@batatasa6960]

OMG, such an inspiration! You make it look so much easier and simple! You really make me wanna go out there and make animation! Thank you so, so much!

[@animaigirl]

I am also very glad BAM gave you a shout out, when I was working in the animation industry it was way back in the late 90's early 2000's I was using Toonboom USanimation and later have self taught myself FLASH/ANIMATE for the most part I have gotten it but you have some very good pointers to use in my own animation fun, so thank you and I will keep watching!

[@keepitfashion]

Look forward to seeing more of your work

Dam, walk cycles are hard. Good job!

Thanks to Bam I can visit this wonderful video

[@JC-ov8ko]

Came from BAM. Great video. I only wish it was slower. I don't have much time in my day like I used to but I would love to create many backgrounds like this.

[@STANNco]

This is a great breakdown. I never considered you could have your nested symbols and just connect them manually frame by frame outside it.

[@heathercampbell6059]

I'm a little in awe here. O.O

[@joekazadi1252]

Bam Sent me! Glad I’m here :)

[@reiphas]

The speed with which you did it and quality of the final product scares me.

[@gL1135]

I came from Bam yesterday and I friend and I watched the whole video. ( She's not even interest in animation, but was Engaged with how you taught it. I'm definitely subbing. 👍🏿👋🏾

[@kramenisfalling]

You explained this so clearly, thank you

[@Hibiol-of-my-decay]

Yt algorithm got me here (however I read other comments about a channel which I also follow, so I think it was for that reason, but no regrets) . Wow this is awesome. You are the best, I have never thought the importance of gravity when moving.

[@lisacox7135]

Hey Andrea! So nice to watch your fox trot video! I followed a link here from Bam animation. I look forward to watching more of your content. Cheers!

BaM is another animation centered channel that gave me a shout out on one of their videos recently. Since then the algorithm did things, so you are definitely not the only ones not coming from bam.

Little tip: when rotating, for example, the head, move the center of rotation to the neck, so you get a more natural rotation, nice video!
