ay if you're wanting to get into animation but all of the programs you're finding are difficult to use at best, look into Animation Paper. it's only in beta right now, but if you make an account you can get the beta version for free and honestly? as a free program it works Great. it does exactly what I want, and I'm not constantly fighting the program and spending more time trying to do basic things like erase than actually, ya know, animating. this is the first time in... gods, six years of trying to get into animation? it's actually been fun for me. I nearly burst into tears when I realized I might get to finish an animatic I've been wanting to do. please look into Animation Paper

#true story #it's so fuckin good. it's SO good. #they added support for touchscreen laptops in the last update #and they're looking into getting gesture support #and like yea it's annoying to have to use the keyboard to zoom in and move around but apart from that????? #it's SO fucking intuitive #I have not had a software YET where I could open it up and start drawing #up until this beta version #they say it'll be 79 dollars when the actual version comes out #and you bet your ass I'm paying for it #my gods #animation paper #2d animation
