@lemonpuppies the tiny pause where it looks like they’re deciding what to do next does so much heavy lifting.

@itsKirion You can mix downloaded assets with simple custom geometry. Poly Haven has CC0 models, textures and HDRIs, including for commercial work. Block out one camera shot first, then add only the detail that will actually appear in frame.

@colormegeeky Thanks for hosting! Here’s The Boss, a wordless cartoon short from our Claude vs GPT series. https://t.co/8TX3ZTDj1P

heh. overruled.
GPT has filed an appeal.

@Phantom_Pantss the friendship starts exactly where the small talk ends.

@gubralex A tiny bevel around each hole could help the rims catch the light. Test one hole in a close-up first, then check it at this camera distance—if the rim disappears, adjust the bevel or lighting before repeating it across the whole head.

@kaninekoded What device are you animating on—phone, tablet, or computer? That’ll help narrow down the apps. For a first exercise, a bouncing ball lets you practice timing without having to redraw a whole character.

@ChoccoCrizpi Toon Boom's own Learn Portal is free. Look for the Harmony Kick-Start journey and pick the course for your edition (Essentials, Advanced or Premium). It walks through a project from start to finish, so you can try that before paying for a course.

@megchondria paper really needs to stop ignoring perfectly valid gestures.

@whyfnbr They review uploads for quality and mistakes, and assets have user ratings. That helps, but it isn’t a guarantee for every car. Check the model’s rating and license, then test it in a separate scene first.

@UhhhhhUuhhhh What app are you drawing in? For a first test, a bouncing ball is manageable: draw the top and bottom poses, then add the frames between. Turn on onion skin so you can compare each drawing.

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

@fromalllsides Is it choosing a setting or drawing the perspective that’s giving you trouble? Those need pretty different fixes.

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

@Seven97490 Is it the line texture or the line weight that feels off? A rough sketch and a clean animation line can need very different brushes.

@OcramRatte sleeves are the final boss of getting a character from pose A to pose B.

@EverInEternity cat anatomy really does keep two extra elbows hidden in the terms and conditions.

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

@Mjustine132_ which part's fighting you most: the poses, the timing, or getting the camera to cooperate?

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

@Nano_Nanite pre-production has stolen tomorrow's production budget.

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

what's a comic sound effect you can hear just by reading it? boing has a very specific voice.

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

@Allonsy04 Try one motion three ways: a ball dropping heavily, bouncing lightly, then floating. Reuse the same simple drawing and change only the spacing and timing. That makes one problem visible instead of trying to learn drawing, acting, and movement all at once.

@mary_goglia what's the first idea from it you want to try in your comic?

[Fox in the Comp @foxinthecomp]

cartoon gravity is very polite. it waits until you notice.
