Description Yes I was hyped up on caffeine while typing this.
What's your point?
hopefully people can pick up on the sarcasm in this


This was supposed to be my 1000th deviation but apparently I've passed that already. Which tells me I really need to go clean up my gallery

Pony-drawing-tutorial thing because people have been asking to see my process Elaborates on this , in that I actually tell people what I'm doing

Had to sacrifice quality so it wouldn't turn out as an 8-megabyte .jpg file. If any parts are unclear tell me and I can type it out down here

Damn. i dont understand how you can use flash but not animate with it. i've seen you do it before but not with a done piece of artwork

I haven't tried a full pony animation yet because each frame would be hand-drawn, and I would have to go through this process with each one.


pfffffffff


This is going to take forever to finish even with a few of the poses being static for a few frames

Do you know how to use tweens instead of frame-by-frame? That could speed up the process and make it less tedious

My animation teacher never went into detail about tweens :V All I know about them is from Google

Might i suggest these?Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQlfsG… It's Zach Rich's tutorials with flash. If you've got time to spare id definitely watch them. He teaches a lot in a short amount of time considering.

That's using puppets, though Which I'm going to work on eventually, but for the Discord animation I'm not planning on using a puppet.


...can tweens fill in frames between hand-drawn keyframes? >_> I've heard rumors at school but I don't see how it could be possible.

Breevsto In reply to grievousfan [2013-09-03 05:56:30 +0000 UTC]

i'm not sure.. but i don't think that you need a puppet for tweening. im not sure if your art style would allow puppets, would it? since their movements are so dramatic youd think that would be hard to animate.


as for filling in frames, you might be able to do that, but if you knew what lines would move where then you wouldn't need a puppet, kindof like Egoraptor's style animation (but perhaps not as graphic xD)

grievousfan In reply to Breevsto [2013-09-09 06:26:47 +0000 UTC]

That and I have bare minimum knowledge on how to animate with puppets, anyway. We used the Bone tool for an assignment and I almost punched a hole through the screen


which is why i prefer hand-drawn things. yey~!

the only thing throwing me off about this tutorial is RB's eye that's hidden by her hair a little more

it just looks

really off to me

like you meant to hide that part behind her mane but chose not to


OTHER THAN THAT THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL AND GREAT

grievousfan In reply to Coco-Maya [2013-09-02 01:05:01 +0000 UTC]

The only reason I don't use Photoshop that often is because my tablet is ridiculously touchy If I could get smooth lines like I do in Flash I would probably use Photoshop about as often as I use Flash (but with Photoshop I'd have a llllllooooooot more layers).

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Coco-Maya In reply to grievousfan [2013-09-03 15:04:50 +0000 UTC]

hehe, well Im not the best at making smooth lines, takes a good deal of smudging and mixing to get something decent.


but now Im trying to work it out with flash, we are still trying to get to know each other.Β 


and yeah layers, both a gift and a curse from adobe. so many soul crushing disappointments happen when you accidentally confuse your layers. Especially when it takes you a good 30 min to realise it D:


ugh now Im rambling. Thanks again for the idea
