    I just started getting serious about studying animation and struggled so hard with overlap and animating flags until I found your video about wave principle. This was also really really helpful to me!! I actually understand things better now lol. Thank you!

    I animate in TVPaint. It's a little pricey, but it's a one time purchase. I just got Clip Studio Paint Ex. I haven't learned it much but it seems to be a very powerful program capable of doing just about all you'd need for 2D frame-by-frame animation. I can't recommend anything in particular for IPads since I work on a Wacom Cintiq hooked up to my computer.
