[@futurestoryteller]

@Beansprout I don't even know where to start with this. I'm reading some implications in here that are honestly pretty funny, but I don't know if you intended them. I will say that the OP did not say anything about traditional 2D animation, they just said 2D animation. 3D animation is not cheap, btw, it's convenient and popular, that's why it dominates the field. I seriously doubt the total man hours required to create something like Wall*E are substantially reduced from traditional animation either, due to the level of detail involved.

[@grey7685]

[@Ruldolphmaker]

There's a trick to drawing fast that may help you out. but it requires 3 things 1: Understand gesture and anatomy. 2: Understand 3 dimensional shapes 3: Time/ Draw a LOT. 1: Gesture and anatomy. If your drawings have a ton of detail, cut that out, and just animate the "big picture" of the drawing. the overall form and gesture. Details are for second passess and cleanup. Aaron draws things simply, he's allowed more detail because of number 3. 2: Every figure is comprised of 3 dimensional shapes. Cubes, triangles, squares, Rhombuses etc. Start breaking down figures into their most fundamental shapes. The more you do it, the more you begin to see different things as the shapes they are. I jokingly call it the "eye." 3: Draw a LOT. Time. It will take years to get this good. Repetition is the key to improving in drawing and animation. Make sure you absorb as many masters as you can, when you get too comfortable drawing one way, spice it up. Over time this building and breakdown of art will give you the power to draw complicated forms from thin air. When you get time under your belt, you'll notice you can quickly slip small details into your loose-pass drawings. The better you get at constructing drawings the better you will be at animating. When you separate important information from minor details and take your time, you will come out on top. Happy drawing!

[@jacquemat5944]

I was-I was just-wow!-blown away by this! I’ve been interested in animation for a few years as a young artist, but I was always intimidated by the impression that animation was a monotonous process. I figured that it consisted of drawing frames for the smallest of movement, causing it to take hours or *days* to complete the animation for a minute scene. You just proved me wrong! In only eight pages you had captured such motion, and it was smooth! After having seen this video (and I hope I’ll get to see more), even if it goes no farther than being just a hobby, I don’t feel so intimidated by the idea of giving animation a shot. Thank you. ^^

[@janayahlaurelle9441]

I always thought the same too. But recently I started taking an animation class and have learned a lot. The more the drawings in the frames change the faster the movement seems, then the less drawings and smaller changes the slower it appears.
