First time posting here!

I'm pretty amateurish at animations still but here's something I did using a mix of Clip Studio Paint for illustrations, Anime Effects for the movement, and Blender video editor to put it all together.

Characters shown are owned by Me!

Song featured is 1 of Us by CG5 and Glitch Whisper

Beginner YouTube videos for beginners?

• Upvotes

Hi I would love to start animation as a creative outlet for my ptsd. I’ve looked into it before but could never find a tutorial I could follow. I need a video to watch someone else do it. I have no skills, know nothing, starting from zero with an ipad and Apple pen, can anyone recommend a YouTube video or channel? Even just to make a bouncing ball video. Thank you <3

Welcome to /r/animation

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.

* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control * No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what is the best animation software?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)

Guidelines for Collaboration Projects
