Learning How to Animate with No Experience

[@azhegal]

I went to school for 3 years to learn animation, failed school because of burn-out and now, 3 years later, I'm back at the beginning, trying to re-learn everything almost from scratch. Thank you for this video, it made me take some actual time to practice and try again! 😄

[@MrSmilykid]

I was in the same boat 😭. Everyone who is going through the same thing dont worry your not alone ! We got this

[@OblivionsCove]

I don't have any experience too, but one of my dream is to make mini films

[@good_time_guys]

I pushed hard to get the degree in 3d animation visual effects and failed to get a good break into the industry. Burned out. Left for IT work. 10yrs later. Made really good money but started feeling pull back towards animation. I have friends who are interested in animation too so the last couple years we've been playing with different animations styles and making stuff. Honestly having the artistic freedom made it appetizing again.

Kudos to him for actually saying how long the process was. As a beginner, everything takes ages to go through, and it's nice to see someone also having trouble with it for a change.

As someone whos always liked picking up new skills and took the position that “a jack of all trades” is more admirable than a master of one, its very obvious that you have an excellent mentality when it comes to picking up new skills and applying the proper methods in learning them. You know that learning a new hobby isnt just the fun you’re having but learning it correctly so you can have even more fun once you’ve established the basics. Brilliant video, amazing improvement and admirable as hell. Such a good job

[@Indra_Security]

Yeah, the human being developed to be capable of doing that. I know basic programming, modelling, animating, computation, engineering, mechatronics, physiology, psychology, astrophysics, electronics, 4 languages, a bit of metereology, the mechanisms of a vehicle and how to employ the use of firearms. You can say some of these things are useless, but they're just slots on the inventory of knowledge. Most of them i've learned out of pure curiosity, and went a bit deep into what I knew. Your memory haves a estimated "storage" limit, that's when the neurons cant absorb anymore complex or intricate information, but it's extremely unlikely and nearly impossible to cross that limit, but as long as your mind still in the state then make some good use of it. Accumulation of information will eventually turn into general knowledge. Dont let blockouts inhibit you from reaching the apex of yourself. The key to consume all of this content and archive it mentally from memory is being genuinely interested and focused on what you learn, to process each tidbit of information consciously and assure you know it before proceeding to the next part. Hell, Galileo Galilei was a polymate and had knowledge on several different academic topics.

[@blitzonej884]

Its always entertaining to see beginners complain on how much time it takes, it almost never gets old.

[@ThePressRoomSA]

So true😂 I wonder if it gets better...

[@kingelder2]

every skill takes time when starting out ,I remember how long it used to me to draw a figure/person and how frustrated I got,I still get a bit annoyed but when I look back at my old drawings I can see a huge inlmprovement and start to feel a lot better

[@Mountain_2]

True. I don't do animations but only some. It takes like 30 minutes to do just a 3 SECOND animation

[@andreimanole346]

@@Mountain_2 I always like to rush things, took me 30 mins to make 17 seconds animation!

[@Ethan-yd4gn]

Ive always wanted to learn how to draw and animate and over the past few years ive picked up some basic skills from each area. My drawing is mega shakey though, and even though i understand a lot about the animating process, not being able to draw very obviously impedes the process. These videos honestly shocked me, because it showed me that it doesnt take weeks, months, years to learn how to draw, it just takes dedication and an open mind. Ive been practicing drawing as of late already, but this has inspired me to work at it a lot more, thank you for these crazy videos

[@MichaelBSam]

Thank you for your kind words Ethan, glad you enjoyed!

[@deebtats]

Watched millions of videos by pro animators and no one ever mentioned these tips and how things were done ...they just simply show the drawing process and thats it...this video really helped and made it look much easier ..maybe cuz begginers understand begginers' problems so they can help better :)

[@shawnmuench]

I got inspired this week and got some uh old versions of software to use and pulled out a Huion tablet from a bin. I never used it with said softwares before and it works soooo well!! I used to animate when I was in middle school and I think I'm gonna take it up again now. I always have funny poster or meme ideas and it'll be fun to actually start making things instead of having ideas and then forgetting. I think overall I just want to keep making stuff. Learn more audio production, some photoshop, some Resolve etc. In tandem with IT school I'll be a mofo in a few years and in a better position to start building side clients doing odds and ends.

LETS MAKE YOU FAMOUS BRO in all honesty tho; i have such a hard time learning and remembering all of that and always just wanna do it, problem is that just doing it when its photoshop or whatever is kinda impossible with all the stuff u have to know before. Seeing ur approach of just hammering out 14 hours of animating makes me so motivated to do stuff. I saved the videos for when i have less uni things to do and can focus on learning something new, thank you so much for this man.

[@MichaelBSam]

Your comment made my day. Thank you so much! It all starts out with the want to discover that curiosity inside of you to want to learn new things.
