Glad I could help!
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!
This is exactly what I was struggling with. Just in time!
I am just starting to self-learning animation. It feels daunting. I am so grateful that I came across your channel! You are a GREAT INSPIRATION. Can you make a video about how you were self-taught? Any books/inspiration to recommend?
As someone with an Oc that has a really complex tail I THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great tutorial Micah! I'm digging in your videos and i'm finding a lot of inspiration from your works! I would really like to see a tutorial on the "clean up phase" since i can't understand how you obtain such supersmooth curves ahaha. Keep it up!

TYSM DUDE,I LOOKS SO SMOOTH:0 I wish I could do that on FlipaClip,I mean I tried but it didn't work out... :(
I don't know if you were going to see this but I do have a question can this method work on a fox humanoid that has six tails if not how can I make all six of them wag at the same time without it looking chaotic?
I was wondering what frames you’re using
Hmm i wonder how I should animate tails.. **learns calculus** ah thats how you learn it-
DUDE I WAS JUST STRUGGLING WITH THIS DID YOU READ MY MIND???
Noice😀
Woahhhhhhhhh
Omg tysm I wanted somuch I tried but it sucks
which software do you use?
Great tutorial. Which animation program are you using? What would recommend for iPad pro 12.9 2020? I have been reviewing Clip Studio Paint Ex as it allows me audio as well. Any suggestions? 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.

Does anyone know what he’s using to go this?

What if the base of the dot is moving too? I'm trying to animate the rear of a cat moving side to side but am really struggling. This is my 2nd animation I'm doing and am not doing to well. I mean I am using FlipaClip but still. Can you help?
so it's like follow through n overlapping action? i think?

Ok
physics class be like
I want to say it's a little misleading to be starting each of these tails from the ends as that's the hardest part to judge the position of, I find it much less difficult to start at the base with each one
