Here's a sneak peek of an upcoming tutorial we're working on

Here's a sneak peek of an upcoming tutorial we're working on. It's about inbetweening using the halves method. 😊 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ It's not really the fps that determines how smooth the animation is, but it's really in the use of timing and spacing. Even with low fps, you can make the animation more smooth or more snappy depending on how you adjust the space of each frame.⁠ ⁠ #animation #2danimation #animation2d #framebyframe #framebyframeanimation #traditionalanimation #animator #animationstudent #tutorial #quicktutorial #tutorialvideos #motionprocess #adobeanimate⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Bonus Tips: How to Plan Any Animation👇 (Walk Cycle Example)
Start with the first pose, then the last, then sketch the one in-between.
I’m showing how to apply that to a simple walk cycle:
 How does a walk cycle work? 1 Add contact positions (start and end) 2 Sketch the passing pose in the middle 3 Add breakdowns and in-betweens after 4 To complete the cycle, repeat the same steps! Just this time the other foot moves to the front.
 Tools I use: Clip Studio Paint and Wacom One.
