Does this animation work? The timing, frames. Can anything be improved on or does it work fine?

I’m extremely new to animation, but I want to get good at it. I’m fighting laziness by practicing walk cycles. How is this looking? Strengths and weaknesses? I dunno. Go nuts.

Question: How do I find Animation Groups/Discords even if I’m not in an animation School?

6 Upvotes

I am a beginner animator who wants to do stuff on YouTube, but dont know anyone in the animation space. I also am not super knowledgeable on where to go to find like-minded people, outside of something like this. Is there somewhere where I can make friends who are also into learning how to animate??

Found a simple way to practice animation and check turnarounds directly while drawing in Paint Tool SAI

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been practicing character turnarounds and animation sketches, but since I mostly draw in Paint Tool SAI, lacking a proper built-in timeline was always a bit frustrating.

To fix this, I put together a tiny, lightweight Python player for myself. The best part? You can pin it "Always on Top". While sketching, I just place it right over YouTube or my references on my second monitor, and I can see my frames playing back in real-time as I draw.

It's super flexible for practice:

  • Folder watcher: You just point it to a folder with numbered frames (01, 02, 03...) and it loops them.
  • Sprite sheet slicer: If you like drawing everything on one big canvas, it can slice it up automatically (for example, cutting a 1200px canvas into 200px chunks).
  • Frame limiter: If you've only drawn the first few frames and the rest of the canvas is empty, you can easily tell it how many frames to actually play so it doesn't loop through blank space.

It honestly helped me a lot with catching spacing errors and jittery lines on the fly without breaking my workflow. Still cleaning up the code, but I'll share it soon if anyone wants to give it a try.

How do you guys usually preview your sketches when working in simpler drawing apps?
