Description
So guess who's been overly obsessed with dragons lately? Spent all day void of internet so I thought I'd make a little animation or something while there's nothing to do.Related content

You made all of this in one day of nothing to do!?
I'm amazed at what some people can do in a day.
I mean, this animation even has, like, two scenes in it!

When you've been animating for a long time, the limit is only your imagination!
Seriously though, 24 hours without internet can do this to you.
*I only animated the bird for the most part, though. I did some of the keyframes for the dragon, but a friend helped me finish up the rest.*

Only 24 hours and it came to this already? 
I made an animation, and... MAYBE I could have made it in 24 hours...
I supposed I could have made the regular version in that time, but then the "inbetweened version" wouldn't have been possible that day.
Colored traditional animations take time, but it's weird because I can make that much faster- relatively speaking- than I can my regular art.
I'd show it to you, but I don't want to be spammy.
And I bet I know which friend helped you finish!

Yea, inbetweens are always tedious.
Also, I see you've already made an aquaintance with her, eh?

Actually, I don't find inbetweens to be tedious. ANIMATION is tedious. The entire process. Everything except for the planning requires you to pretty much keep repeating things.
That's why I can make animations much faster than regular drawings. Inbetweening- at least for me- is a radically different process from creating new drawings, and since it's so much like mass production, I can almost turn my brain off, let my hands and eyes do everything, and by the time I snap out of it 60 frames are drawn and inked and all I need to do is shade and color.
I do my "inbetweening" by tracing and averaging my "key frames" (which I do too close together for them to really be called keyframes) and drawing any mandatory details that emerge.
How do you do it? Is there just one way everyone else does it and you do it that way too.
Yes. That's how I discovered you.

Here's what I do when I actually feel like making a formal animation :
1. Think of something to animate
2. Roughly sketch out some ideas on a paper or something
3. Do a storyboard(sometimes, sometimes not)
4. Make an animatic-like-thing
5. Do the inbetweens
6. Color(I hardly ever do color)
Here's what I do when I just feel like animating something random :
1. Think of something random to animate
2. Animate the frames as they appear in my head in a straight ahead fashion rather than pose to pose
3. If they end up working well, I'll make some finishing touches or maybe fix a few abnormalities
4. Add inbetweens to make it smoother(I pretty much NEVER do this part. I usually end up liking how it is in the lower fps version.)
