Tip: draw the arcs in another colour on another layer. Sometimes I mark numbers on the arc lines themselves as if they're timing charts

Thank you! I’m doing an animation and I didn’t use arch’s at first, or anything and the shape and design kept changing all the time and by the end all of the limbs and proportions were completely different. I re-did the whole animation and it’s a lot better

Kaloian Tcherkezov I think it’s only cheating when you trace your design from someone else’s art but then not giving credit. As long as the original design is all by yourself, you sure can trace your own artworks.

You’ve got a lot to learn young one.

Beginner here with a tip I learned the hard way: When using that tracing method, do be sure to try and keep your lines clean, or at least not super sketchy where the exact shapes are not entirely clear. Trying to make an inbetween of two super rough shapes makes it very hard to determine where to place the new lines, and creates a shape that changes throughout the frames While sketching it out helps get the feel at times, do practice at sketching with longer lines than chicken scratching the whole thing with thick brush sizes

While I have been doing a version of Place-and-Trace as I animate, I didn't think of the Layout-Drawing to "map out" all the poses into a single drawing; that's so simple and effective! Thank you so much for sharing all this advice!

This is really useful. I'm a comic book artist and I'm struggling to keep consistency in each drawing. Thanks :)

I’m REALLY new to animation I got into it to pass time in quarantine and it’s really fun, I keep drawing to many inbetweens, and I feel like I don’t know how many frames to draw per scene, any tips?

@lunab541

The secret is learning about timing and spacing. The space between the drawings defines if the character or object is moving slower or faster. The time it takes between one drawing and another will define how long the action lasts. There are free videos on YT talking about the 12 fundamentals of animation, and timing and spacing are among them. By knowing these basics you'll start to have an idea of how many drawings will be needed. Keep practicing! Glad to know more people are taking up animation this quarantine, let's all have fun!

Same for me; I guess my excuse is so I can see just how complex 2D animation can be, and in turn why 2D animation commissions are so pricey; It really does take a lot of effort and time.

You are amazing Toniko, thank you for doing these.

oh my 😳😳 i feel like i'm in math class and i finally figured out how to do something thank you for this! as an amateur animator, this really helps with making them smooth and consistent. Subscribed for sure!

I use Tv Paint for years and I never knew about that tool. You can imagine how many times I wished I could shift and trace as in ToonBoom and now you tell me it's easier? Pretty awesome! Thank you!

this advice is saving me, my animation prof preaches traditional flipping and I get why flipping is important but I always end up drawing my roughs bigger and bigger and having to scale everything down. so THANK YOU

ACORDING TO THE WAY HE SPEAKS IN THIS VIDEO ,YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS PROCESS IS TIERING

Your tutorials give me not only good tips but much inspiration. Thanks!

wow, this is the first time i see someone doing a demo and comment not just on 2 software, but 4. toniko you're great man, great teacher and great artist. i'm glad that you sharing all your knowledge on animation with us

Rough Layout drawing is a technique that we learn when we start learning and often forget, I think is great to remmeber using it more often.

These videos are amazing, but I’m surprised no one has yet mentioned the adorable short animated intro. 😍😍😍

i JUST searched up videos for drawing consistently minutes! before you posted this. Thank you so much!

thank you so much Toniko!!! being consistent in my animation has always been a struggle for me (i swear I've learned a lot more from you!!!)

Hey Toniko! Super ince tutorial! I'll be sharing with my students. BUT! For Toon Boom Harmony, did you know you can use the shift and trace directly in the camera view? Kuddos! :)

This tutorial was extremely helpful to a question i’ve had for a long time. Thank you x infinity 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Toniko, excellent! I still remember your personal project!

I used the trace and place technique before even knowing how to keep my drawings consistent. I didn’t really know how, so I just tried it out and it worked well. The first times when I tried it, I felt so bad because I thought it would count as cheating. But then I learned that you are allowed to use tricks and different methods to work with animation. Thank you for this video! I think you described all of them, but mostly the trace and place very well!

Great video, Toniko!

i love this channel man

I used place and trace yesterday on my recent animation without knowing I used one of those techniques. :D

what a wonderful channel I discovered

I forgot there’s a beginning and end frame first before in between frames, I used this for the first time and ooo it looks good

i don't even have an interest in doing animation but the waving dog in the into is always so cute that i end up watchinf the videos lol

This was actually the very first question when I sat down to draw my first rough sketch for my very first animation. I drew a pose 1 and then wanted to do keyframe sketch 2 where the person had moved quite a bit on the canvas and I was like: "Wait... how in the world do animators prevent a person from unintended shifting in size or overall shape between far spaced out keys??? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Thx for that excellent video. In case someone wants to use CSP: Use the "Light table" for inbetweening. You can turn/move/scale there w/o changing your actual frames just like he explained for other tools.

You can now do Shift and Trace in the camera view of Toon Boom as well :) Much less of a hassle than sending the stuff to the Drawing View.

Ahh I love your work and your vids are really helpful!

FUNNILY ENOUGH !!!!! This was rly encouraging but from like a reverse angle??

Impressive video

Awesome

wish that there were more in depth tutorials for toon boom :/ most of the tutorials i see are for the tools in the most expensive version, awesome video like always though!! :)
