NEW TUTORIAL! Today we're talking about using roughs and rigs together, with the goal of improving 2D rig animation. This is how I personally like to do it

The goal: make rig animation better. You may have seen or heard about this technique, but it is still mysterious for several reasons. 1; each project and animator does it differently, 2; The work in progress material isn't often approved for portfolio use, or 'making of' material , 3; studios/publicity sometimes lie about it 4; it's locked within an expensive software. Anyway, this is how I like to do it, when I get the rare chance. There is still a lot to explore and improve with these techniques, so I want to encourage people to do their own versions

Do you have any animation software recommendations? I'm a beginner animator and i want to start learning.

There are a lot of options out there. I chatted with some of the crew to try to narrow down recommendations. There was something of a consensus that Clip Studio Paint is actually quite good as a beginner animation tool. If you work with digital drawing programs, it's overall UX will probably feel pretty familiar from the start. It's not overcomplicated, but it's still sophisticated enough to produce production quality work if you want to push it that far.

You can hone your animation chops in so many different ways, though, from TV Paint to a sticky note flipbook. I'd suggest a little experimenting to find what feels right to you. You can animate in Adobe Photoshop. The tools provided are fairly rudimentary, but there's nothing wrong with starting out plain and simple. You can animate in 2D with Blender's Grease Pencil tool too. And it's free. And maybe you can pick up some 3D skills in the process. If it's within your budget, Toon Boom is a very solid choice. It's what we use for Lackadaisy, and we know many, many other animated productions rely on it too. If you happen to like working with Procreate and you're comfortable with touch screen controls, give the new Procreate Dreams a shot. Prioritize your comfort and enjoyment in selecting a tool first. Once you have developed your drawing skills and understand the principles of animation, you get to take that knowledge with you to any other animation tool you decide to pick up next.

Finished lipsync assignment for one of my animation classes! Some of us decided Scarecrow's voice claim is Griffin McElroy, so. Chaos ensued.

Audio: Toto: Need something to drink or anything-? Scarecrow: I could use some appy slices, actually, if you wouldn't mind Toto: And a little peanut butter to dip 'em in-? Scarecrow: [squeaky toy noise]ING OF COURSE I WANT PEANUT BUTTER, CLINT.
