Hi. ^_^

[sbblee]

Well i just started getting into Fullbody. I animate stick figures. I havent really done that much latly with school and whatnot but im gunna try and get back into it by doing non-stick. Im not a really talented artist and i think thats why i started out with stick figures. Stick figures have become boring and pretty annoying so im hoping to move away from them. I dont really have any idea how to use guidlines to animate/draw. Im sucha newb.


ANYWAYS.. Heres a fullbody thing ive done. Not that good but whatevah. Need flash 8 to view.

Hiya sbblee, welcome to AF! :D

You are at a great place to get some help with animation! Some suggestions to help you get better quicker...
-Concentrate on the weight, squash and stretch, and range of motion of your characters.
-Read everything you can about how others animate, and incorporate technique you like into your own workflow.
-In connection with reading.... buy a copy of The Animaotors Survival Kit by Richard Williams and devour every word! The ASK is pretty much the undisputed bible of animation.
-Draw! and draw, and draw, and draw, and draw until you get callouses, writers cramp, and a sprained wrist! Then suck it up and draw some more! :D Serious man! (A habit I have to get back into!)
-Work on whatever, and post it up for honest and constructive feedback! Thats what we are all about, mutual support, honest opinions, and helping each other improve overall artistically! ;)

Welcome to AF Sbblee.

I see your way on your way from stick figures. Definitely listen to Eye's suggestions and #1 , go get a copy of ASK. It's a must have.

Yes absolutely! That book is a must have for anyone even remotely serious about animating.
Welcome, sbblee! Your intro ani is good enough that I'd say "stay at it!" Nice job.
