5 Common Mistakes that New Animators Make

5 COMMON MISTAKES ANIMATORS MAKE: 1.BECOMING AN ANIMATOR

I do animation as a hobby, I created anime characters when i was a kid and use your tips in my work. Love yer advice

The too many drawings complaint only applies to industry animators as independent animators might be working solo so a single person may draw both keys and inbetweens so the distinction between them is less vital for their pipeline.

that box perspective tip is amazing generally, even for illustration and composition

I want give a heartfelt message and thank you. One of your videos explained making lines aliasing, making the g-pen around 2.5, and using smoothing once your done. (I think on the tanya video) AND THAT HAS MADE JUST A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN MY ART!! I have always struggled with coloring and editing lines with my art that I had stopped doing so. But after trying it out, it's so much easier to paint, edit lineart, shadows. I can't believe I never knew. I really appreciate you man, it's gotten me drawing and coloring again after a 5 year slomp. If you ever make a video on how to make some compositing effects on clipstudiopaint like on after effects, I would be so grateful.🙏🏽 I don't have after effects and wanted to know if I have to use it. Thank you for reading! ✨️

The last advice sounds strange: if there is absolutely no movement between frames then it's better to copy lines than retrace them. Retracing motionless lines will produce flickering between frames even if you are very accurate retracer..

i love how you explain and don't criticize mistakes, its way easier to learn this way, thank you!

Once again, I'm extremely grateful for your channel. I plan to get started with learning 2D animation very soon (once I'm done the 3D short I'm currently trying to finish by Christmas). Keep up the good work and tips, because they've been very helpful and motivating so far!

I can tell you really understand animation with these tips and tricks and insights. Like working on 3s and 2s or the timing chart guiding how many frames there are until the next keyframe. I also liked your tip on how to align a character to a background by using a box character. I very much liked this video. You earned my thumbs up :D

Hey Dong, I appreciate all of these videos, I've learned a lot even though I am still a hobbyist. Keep them coming as it is a much-needed thing for the industry.

Thank you for your work, animators touch our hearts everytime with the stories they help bringing to life, you taking the time to teach advices and techniques for other animators is very needed in this unfair industry (yeah we all know what the studios do to their employees)

I really love the animation sketches, how they with minimum amount of detail manage to land a punch. Do you know any good classes/tutorials that teach one to draw specifically for animation sketches, aiming for precision, simplicity and clarity?

These videos are great man! I've been a freelance animator for just over a year now and they're so helpful so thank you:)

love your drawing work ! :). The drawing on raw notations is super cute.

As someone who never animated before, I can safely say that I've never made any of these mistakes. ok I probably done the first mistake a lot but you get the point.

Thank you so much for your animation videos. They really help me out a lot

I appreciate your videos so much! Thank you for the tips it was super insight full. <3

Thank you for the tips. It was really helpful and I’m starting to do animation more😊

Very facinating to watch! Thank you so much for the insight! I just learnt to animate in Clip studio paint, and the latest thing i worked on i copied the frames a lot, ill stop doing that now haha. The reason i did it is mostply because i dont entirely know how to animate with more folders properly. I just recently did that by keeping the mouth in another animation folder. Not sure how to properly do it to be honest, if you have any resource for people to learn this better, id love to see it!

This is great, I wish you went into more detail about the spacing and what all the annotations mean in a lot further details, like the cells and timesheets, but the spacing charts for sure I get confused aviut
