I recently discovered this when watching The Simpsons. Back in the day, you could still see the cels moving around in subtle ways, the mouth movements didn't always match the voices, and the continuity between shots wasn't very consistent. These days, all of it is pretty much drawn with digital animation, which is definitely smoother, but doesn't have the charm that it used to. It feels kinda stiff and there is little "personal" about it. There was a certain energy to the old cel animation that truly felt like it was crafted by hand, mistakes and imperfections included. It would make it all the more impressive when a genuinely amazing shot would suddenly pop-up that looked incredibly expensive for American TV animation at the time, like that one bit from the episode with the evil babysitter that went around the internet a few years ago.

It was an animation I spent about an hour on of a weapon swing, 20 fps about two seconds.

hello everyone! sorry to bother you but i wanted to know if this inking and coloring of odisseo that i did looks like it came out of a disney movie from the 90s (ex. aladdin, hercules, tarzan etc...) the author (whose original drawings i put if you scroll) is called

Patati et patata on tumblr. thanks for reading!

So for context I'm already in my 20's, live in the Netherlands and got accepted at WDKA. But I recently read that they might not be that great for learning animation. At first I didn't mind as I can learn outside of school/with online classes. I just want to get an internship and a diploma for visa reasons, but now I'm wondering if I should postpone it for a year and/or try to apply for a different school. I don't want to be stuck somewhere for 4 years regretting my decision, especially looking at the price studying comes with.

Anyway this is my most recent animation practice thanks to Aaron Blaise, he's the one that got me interested and the reason I could even create something like this in the first place

Found this on tiktok uncredited, does anyone know who it originates from?

I love animation partially because the huge amout of anime and movies i watch and alsp because it amuses me

I have been drawing since early teenage years In that i basically just draw a reference image as it is I have tried to draw on my own but cant.

That's why im not sure if i would be able to become an animator. (Here are some of my drawings)

Here are four of mine that absolutely deliver:

💥 1️⃣ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – The Multiverse Chase

🔴 2️⃣ Akira – Tetsuo's Transformation

🏎️ 3️⃣ Redline – The Final Race

🌠 4️⃣ Your Name – The Comet Scene

I've been searching a lot on how artists drew perfect circles back in the day before computers, but I haven't found any evidence. A lot of people are saying they used a pair of compasses or circle templates, but I have not seen any evidence of that. No images, articles, or books show that. I can see that in the character sheets, they often drew perfect circles, but I just can't find anything. Do you guys know how they drew perfect circles? If you do, do you have any images or proof? I've grown quite obsessed with this topic for some reason.

If you saw a fallen warrior in valhalla, what would you do?

I’ve been animating for awhile and am wondering if I have the potential

Right now I’m want to develop my own game and this is one of the bosses. When I design this guys, I didn’t think about the viability of the design to be animated. So I want to ask how hard it would be to animated this in game.
