How realistic is it to expect to get a job in animation if I have a decent portfolio? I don't have a college degree for the record.

>>7993061i'm sorry buddyboyo, you're late and animation is a wasteland. most seasoned vets are jumping ship.

They're not that good, honestly. I was rushing between rounds lol
>>7995467That's nice. I've been using the ink 3 G pen ever since I started animating with krita but the roughness of the lines always bothered me whenever I did any clean up
Tryna make limited animation work
how long has everyone animated/drawn for?
Are any of the animation programs aside from Procreate Dreams on iPad any good?I've been animating stuff with base Procreate for a long time, but I'm extremely limited by the lack of multiple timelines and audio imports. For the longest time I was hoping Procreate would implement that so I was pretty excited to see them make Procreate Dreams... only to try the program and end up feeling this UI is a nonsensical fucking nightmare. How the fuck do you go from having something as streamlined as the animation assist in Procreate to this weird ass jumbled mess where I can't just fucking start out with one frame and add new ones as I go and open up the timeline and go back and fourth between two frames to check them. I am so fucking confused. Why do I need 4 fucking different modes, what other fucking animation program does this shit. Just let me fucking draw.ANYWAY. I've tried Toonsquid as well and much much much more prefer that layout, but the brushes are kind of dogshit and I'm struggling to draw anything refined looking with it. Got any tips? Any settings I might be sleeping on, or any other decent animation programs on ipad?Pic related is a short animation I made in Procreate, and here's some old unfinished WIPs made in Toonsquid. First one is mostly drawn in procreate with the drawings copy pasted into Toonsquid, second one is with the drawing made entirely in Toonsquid.SFW (there's a gap between 0:56 and where it picks up again at 1:35)>https://files.catbox.moe/9tnkmj.mp4slightly NSFW>https://files.catbox.moe/8zn0yr.mp4Ultimately want to draw animated music videos. However I'm both struggling with finding an ipad program that allows me to make good looking art with a UI not designed by aliens, and how the hell to optimize the filesize of my works without sacrificing the quality.

>>7989810when i make an animation channel, can i include a crypto wallet like solana/evm to accept donations? or will that just get me negative feedback cuz a lot of people are anti crypto now?
>>7993138Anything but Animate.
can anyone point me towards a good video about animating using motion tweens and curves? cuz im getting filtered by it fucking hard. it doesnt matter which program i imagine the logic translates between all of them
>>7995467great use of impact frames anonhad there been a slight zoom out along side the fist pulling back followed by super quick zoom into the fist this would have much more punch tho>>7995498lmao hilariousSUFFA AXOLOTL>>7995549been almost 6 years since i picked up the penthinking back im kinda dogshit considering how long i've been going at itits my own fault for dragging my feet as my peers kept progressing >>7995763>>7995773>https://litter.catbox.moe/ua8bagdga4kkix37.mp4>https://files.catbox.moe/8zn0yr.mp4dude these is a really fun animatic very well doneat this point i'd recommend just getting saving up for a cheapo small huion display tablet to pair up with a a laptop n using something more purpose built for animation like that yknowwould make work way easier for you>>7995951i really like the hair covering one eye tropewhat else can say>>7995968anon get an animation channel up and running first then we'll talk donation methods>>7996272just learn to read the position/time Graphs intuitively anon-santhey're the basis of everything tweening relatedas shitty as adobe animate is it has inbuild presets for ease-in ease-out alongside handy graphs that you can tweak for further fine-tuningaside from that im sure you can find old livestreams of tween animators doing their workflow livei believe minus8 had a few streams but he had a menta breakdown n 404'd everything tracking them down gonna be a bitch n a half but there should be a few dedicated archivers out therestudy minus8's work to learn the limits and strengths of tween animation incase you haven't already
>>7995494I made some fixes, it's still rough but I think it looks a bit better. The motion's pretty good, which I think it's the most important part, but the lack of consistency in shapes and lines were too distracting.
>>7996382Thanks!>at this point i'd recommend just getting saving up for a cheapo small huion display tablet to pair up with a a laptop>n using something more purpose built for animation like that yknow>would make work way easier for youDamn, that does sound like good advice but I'm also poor as all hell right now. I guess I will consider it.
>>7996382>i believe minus8 had a few streams but he had a menta breakdown n 404'd everythingAs a digital hoarder it drives me insane that the amount of times I've seen talented artists do this completely vindicates my compulsive habbit to fill my computer with saved images and videos of things I like that I will probably never look at again.
>>7996384Thanks. I can't really take credit for the motion though its really just a trace over of this Yor gif that I did as a request for someone in /dbs/. I mostly posted it to use as an example for how the brush I was using before looked

>>7995951oh god it’s the windy ass again.
I applied to glitch productionsCan't wait to get rejected/ no follow-up email like usual
>>7989810i know most anime is drawn on paper but for the cases when its done digitally which of software you listed is the industry standard?
finally moved on to making a filthy evil p*rn loop with spinestill very much getting used to this workflow and im not very confident with my approach but it's somewhat starting to take form. the good thing about this program is once i get the animation down i can draw over all the assets to add shading with minimal effort so thats cool choppy versions with just keys and no interpolation and smooth version is just the same keys but with default ease in-out interp slapped on top, obviously needs cleaning but it's workable. no idea if this is the normal workflow for this type of program but it's what i got
>>7996697yeah i carry a lil doodle of her and frauv in my wallet n glance at them for an instant smile>>7997435looking good anon : DDD
>>7997406clip studio or tvpaint. toonboom harmony if you have the autism for it.
>>7997435Yo, I am calling you spineanon now. Really looking forward to seeing your progress. I need to fucking get off my ass soon and animate so I can post in here, but your stuff is definitely giving me dopamine hits for tweening animation.
Finally!:Some resources to help me improve from my LAST attempt:https://vimeo.com/1206131995Cheers.
>>7997702really nicelike how the head is half the speed of the body>>7997986how did you compile the drawings into a video?do u have a scanner setup at home?its really kinda cute
First time using this program, and first time animating since around 2023... pretty rusty.
Anyone have a decent guide on getting started on learning smears?
>>7998729look up the looney tune on sakugabooru and go frame-by-frameno better way than learning from the pioneers of the techniqueor if you wanna do anime studies i believe sakugabooru has a dedicated smear tag to browse
boooomp
>>7997573BIGGER!
alright thats about as done as i care to get this, im gonna move on. obviously many issues with this but i dont wanna keep obsessing over it. def learned a lot making this and im confident my next loop wont take as long. i think my biggest annoyance is the impact doesnt feel very impacty, if i werent so sick of this loop id spend another 2 days trying to tweak it but oh fucking well, i'll do it better next time>>7997924lol thanks i'll wear the label with pride
>>7999361I double dog dare you to make a Crash thread on /v/ with that as the OP

>>7999997Not him but I don't think you really need to be apologizing over that
have you guys ever simultaneously worked multiple jobs and if you have how do you deal with it?currently I'm stuck between animation and cleanup on two things while also taking two college classes and I feel like I'm juggling it all
>>8000016so all is forgiven?
>>7997435looks good...what software ?
>>8000067I don't think you did anything wrong but I guess. You're fine anon, don't worry about it
>>7999612>>8000087program is spine2d
Has anyone tried out rough animator or calipeg?I was thinking of maybe giving these a go, though I'm a mega poorfag so I want to research anything new I invest in.I mainly do traditional frame by frame animation. I want to make animatics and eventually music videos.

>>8001513I haven't looked at Animator's Survival Guide in a while. Does the masturbating bear not come right after the bouncing ball or is it further along?
>>8001513so many people are addicted to porn these days
>>8000333hmmm never mind, after checking out various youtube videos comparing ipad apps... vast majority of them have preferred toonsquid. I do like toonsquid, just not the brushes. So maybe I need to do more tinkering with the brush and pencil settings
>>8001846well that and your preferred forum is the place where all the porn addicted degens hang out rather than people who care about their reputation or making a name for themselves
I need to add more booby jiggles next wip will add another key after the up frame for extra air time>>8001025nice ball anon make more of em >>8001548lmao

spine's cool but its nice to do some simple and clean frame by frame too, much more straightforwardstill very messy but im happy with how fast i got the general motion and timing down

is this good?
>>8004058it's good and definitely conveys a jumping creature. There's a few frames that could be slightly adjusted to apply some basic animation principles, I attached a hack-job edit to somewhat visualize the concepts.
>>8004446thanks, I already finished cleaning up the animation and all that I'm gonna implement that ear thing when I wake up then I'll post the finished ver here

First time using csp, I don't even have a pen tab
Trying to do a thing where a hand drawn animated guy fights a robot who is AI animated.I hate the AI tools right now for videogen, no granular control at all.
>>8006064Looks like the dude from yiik. Also work on your animation so it doesnt look like shit it looks really weird for some reason cant pinpoint why
>>8006122>cant pinpoint whyWhy even open your mouth if your unable to articulate your own thoughts?
Getting back into animation after decades long hiatus. Any suggestions for software? I come from a flash mx background, but looking for something that's similar, interface wise. Must have paralax scrolling and most important is a one time fee, because fuck paid sunscriptions. The more affordable, the better.Any suggestions?
>>8006157That's the /ic/ special; "just do gooder at it lel"
>>8006064i'm ngl the ai animates better
>>8006064made me chucklethough the human's eyes could be less wonky in motion
>>8006064arent both ai?
>>8006831Minimax H3 just dropped, use that

>>8006963>>8007154Never change
>>8007154Womp womp
Man how can you guys still be trying to animate after Minimax came out?I can understand drawing, but animating is extremely repetitive, mechanical and draining. Why not leverage the computer?
>>8007564Is this a real question or is this like one of those Sears questions ye know what I'm saying ?
>>8007571It's a real question.I cannot understand why you'd reject leveraging AI for animation.
>>8007564You know billions of people like you will die very soon?
>>8007589You could've just answered that you have schizophrenia, anon.
>>8007592It's true.
>>8007564>why are you doing things you enjoy?it is a mystery
>>8007605I can understand enjoying the end product, but do you really enjoy the process keyframing?
>>8007613>how could someone possibly enjoy something difficult? isn't instant gratification the same thing?truly puzzling quandary
>>8007613Genuinely jealous of the amount of useful repetiton built into the act of animating that the serious guys get to do. The amount of time animators put into "tedious" stuff is the amount of time any artist should strive to put into the tedious stuff that yields growth
>>8007615>difficultThe word I'd be using is "repetitive" and "mechanical".
>>8007622tomato tomato
>>8007206kek
>>8007564I make animations to celebrate my waifu and weirdly enough it's a niche AI animation hasn't saturated yet. Also My art style is traditional art and animation so me switching to AI would probably hurt me more in the long run since that's like my entire appeal.
>>8006064Keeping an eye on this
Cmon don't give the sloppers attention. we're better than this

whats with the sudden influx of bullshit in this thread >>8007821do it yourself or pay someone retard
>>7999990your animations brighten my day
>>8007837yeah, pretty much, I think the half-sloppa guy's off the hook for it
>>8007576Because it looks like samey garbage and doesn't ever give me exactly what I want. Just because your standards are through the floor doesn't mean everyone else's are, dumb jeet.
am i over animating this for a sitcom
>>8008063Appealing hippie chick
>>8007912Anon, Minimax is capable than far more than what worthless garbage like you is capable of animating by hand. It isn't even remotely close.
>>80075641. I got bored with the limitations and restrictions of AI. There's a ton of things the AI struggles to gen, such as multiple characters in specific situations and doing specific things with specific facial expressions and emotions. The AI can gen things close to what I want, and it can render things a lot more nicely than I can, but it can not recreate the vast majority of the scenarios in my head 1:1 and there are some things it simply doesn't understand. After I had genned a bunch of niche characters I like in some sexy outfits and niche situations... honestly trying to come up with new things that the AI wouldn't struggle with just became a chore.2. My PC can't really handle doing animated AI gens locally, and I really don't feel like paying money to do it on some website that probably has a bunch of retarded restrictions on what I'm allowed to gen.3. I draw because it's fun. Honestly the biggest reason I went back to drawing after trying AI for a while was just because the things I can animate is more fun to draw than sitting around trying to think of the right things to write to make the AI stop being such a bitch and actually do what I want it do.4. I'd be more open to using AI as an assistant for things I'd want to outsource (cleanup, coloring, shading, extra between frames etc) than relying on it to do the important things. Once we have AI that does those things, I think both the animation industry and hobby animators are going to adopt AI into our work process a lot more commonly. Until then, AI animation is only really good for short funny clips and occasional fap material.I think the movie Klaus is a perfect example of how I want AI to be integrated into animation in the future. That movie was completely hand-drawn, and then they created a program that could calculate the shadows angles of all the drawings after manual input by the animators on each frame and apply the shading automatically and very consistently. This was before AI genning
>>8008159very organic post. Buy an ad.
>>7993061Depends, many indie jobs but they dont pay well, in anime if you draw well and know how to fill a xsheet the jp way you go a job since they are desperate, but it also wont pay well until you have more credits to your name
>>8008159If I owned a factory that made paper and I had to fire a guy, would I rather fire the guy who knows how to operate one of the machines or would I fire the guy who knows how to operate one of the machines and everything about how the machine works and why?Just admit that your resentment towards artists is because of a sour grapes mentality. It's to to explore AI as an alternative way to express yourself anon, but it's not a replacement for learning how to draw and animate. You will benefit much more from learning both drawing and how to use AI.
Does Youtube still do the whole "This animation has cute animals in it, so we're going to mark it as made for children and turn off comments and there's nothing you can do about it" thing?I have an animation planned that could be too long/large to upload to a places like e621, but the idea is sfw so I could upload it to youtube. However I am a porn artist, the characters I am using are things I have drawn porn of, and I like leaving the door open to having adult humor in my works. I however have a style kinda inspired by animal crossing, meaning I draw cute animals.Is my stuff going to be automatically flagged as for kids if I upload it to youtube?
>>8011013You could just do what some animators do and just have some character yell some random obscenity/slur in the video so its AI algorithm doesn't flag it while reviewing the audio

drawing wings on my pig is a pain in the ass
>>8012675I have no idea what I'm doing, I need to look up how wings work.
>>8008200This is how a 16 year old drew themselves…
>>8012675>>8012740think of the wings as sheets of paper to handle the side to side rotation if that makes any senseusually people avoid adding too many details cuz the wings can get away with being slightly fuzzy patchesjust like how we simplify hair/beards into simple shapes instead of drawing every single hair strand>>8013214has to be a lad drawing his coomer fantasy mani had a doodle book similar to that in my schoolboy days toothe zoomies are alright

I've got an awful lotta free time at work today
>>8013395Yeah probably need to find a good way to simplify it. I'm taking inspiration from biblical angels for her design (like seraphim, cherubim), so trying to figure out how these 6 wings would look when not in flight.
I am autistically obsessed with framerates and timinngs. 4 vs 5 frame loops are very wierd.
I wanted to create something remotely like a segment but with a female character instead of Elmohttps://youtu.be/KilMpYUiG9E?si=Z8bJJO5Wc43dPJu_ @ 13:03 is the main source of inspo, also Diives to an extent.so essentially theres gonna be an animation of a girl with long hair + a skirt or something & mostly an almost shot per shot recreation of the video starting from 13:03 but with a few tweaks
Deal em
For Legal reasons. It's a goat.

distracted
I want you to know your work rate motivates me kot. I just wish my brain wasn't blank on ideas atm
>>8015101desu i've been slaving away at a very dogshit project at my irl job which is finally overnow that i'm free i can release all my pent up frustration by animating on the office equipment which is significantly bigger and smoother to work withthat and me sneaking remote access to the internet PC means i'm basicly lounging at the workplace on company time its literally the best : DDD
>>8013688You down to this Kott?
finally said fuck it and ordered a used cintiq, it should be here next weekthis will hopefully speed up my inking workflow significantly
>>8007564The issue is AI just looks like crap. Image-based AI has hit its wall of diminishing returns ever since 2024/2025. Now every company is focusing on the general intelligence of AI over more ancillary tasks. Also, when people can tell an artistic work is blatantly AI, they won't respond well to it, and rightfully so. So you'd have to spend probably the same amount of time polishing every frame to remove all the artifacts AI produces. And then there's also the problem where telling AI what you want is no different than telling a person what you want. No one truly knows how YOU want to frame a shot, how you want the lighting to look, how you want the character to look exactly. And finally, there's the issue where AI will just start to produce random bullshit that you didn't ask for. Ever look at those AI videos where a guy is talking, but the other guy's mouth is moving? They still have these issues and you have to spend hours trying to get the right result, and tokens are not cheap. If they ever start pouring money into it like they did in 2023 again, I'm sure all my arguments will be moot, but until then, I'd rather just animate by hand.
thread has been very quiet recently
>>8015396are you just begging for animations here
>>8014994damn that's hot
fun warmin up :)

I made this years ago :)
>>8007206still miss this anon
BANG!
>>8015610Sorry my dude. Working on a storyboard at the moment, not so much finished animation to show off right now.
Here's my attempt at animation. Also if anyone could tell me how to take stable pictures or what to get. https://files.catbox.moe/x08akq.gif
>>8018176You'll definitely make a lot more stable animation with digital drawing, though if you're hellbent on doing handdrawn animation on pen and paper you should probably first of all invest in animation paper among some other thingshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ6aXaCJu6c&t=19s(things like equipment to hold the paper in place or to light it up so you can see the previous paper, and a scanner to upload your finished drawings)You can do animation without a light-up board and some old animators used to do that, but it is more difficult. Aaron Blaise for example is still very fond of using the flipping technique.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ter8lLajzOkI do also in general recommend a lot of his animation tutorials and guides on his website (creature art teacher). They go on sale pretty frequently, or you could probably find a lot of the tutorials on pirate bay or similar.(pic unrelated)
I feel like animation is easier than drawing. Been drawing a scene with 3 characters for several days, trying to figure out all the anatomy and perspective and volume of the characters...Today I decide to start animating the drawing, and immediately it's like a fucking weight off my shoulders as I can stop giving a fuck about making sure the scene and the characters all look correct and I can just draw exactly what I've already been doing but in somewhat different position and it's just fun. All the massive tedium gone, just fun.
>>8018602Thanks for the resources. Yeah I'm hell bent on doing paper animation strictly. Actually I did use a light pad and peg bar, but a big problem I'm having is capturing it. Because I don't have a rostrum camera that traditional animation used. So I'd like help with that. Very cheap options if possible.
>>8018770Well I don't do traditional paper and pen animation myself but my guess is you'd need a scanner to transfer your drawings as smoothly and accurately as possible to a digital format. I'd also reckon that if you can't afford one, it's not impossible that your local library has one you could use.
>>8018775 I do have a camera but would you or anyone here know how to make a animation rostrum camera or something that could serve the same purpose? I don't have a computer either. Except my phone and tablet.
>>8018624I feel the same. Whenever I remember I have to draw multiple drawings of a scene and I can't get stuck on just one my brain suddenly stops overthinking things and I suddenly can just get stuff close to right enough without a hitch
>>8018624you can definitely get away with a lot more bullshit when people will only see each drawing for a 12th or 24th of a second. its a very liberating feeling sometimes
Boooomp
>>8015075You were right
>>8020222glad i could help
Scrapped animation idea of Brusha having her sweater blown upward with audio I did, feel free to use either of these for any idea that may come from the two items.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fxltBqAtQGjhF6dWIIHZuO_3DM7zVpWk/view?usp=drive_link

>>8021493I was planning on doing something similar with Ginger, anyone want the FLA file for this?
B-BACKGROUNDS??/ AIIEEEE SOMEBODY SAVE ME I ONLY WANT TO DRAW FIGURES PLEASE TASUKETE KURE ME!!!i should've learned landscapes earlier. i can do perspective just fine, but everything looks ugly even if correct
>>8018770you can kinda get away with a phone tripod and a btooth key to take pictures. its very jank and youll never get it truly level tho compared to a scanner or rostrum.
>>8018770judging by the anime figurines you've got you can afford to splurge on a good scanner anon san>>8022109froggi : DDD>>8022255go go gadget rocket Feet

So i wantd to animate a pichal peri which is an indian play on succubi/witch whose gimmick is that their feet are on backwardsdoes it read as backwards facing feet or nah?

Used this in a Zelda video.

>>7998200Thank you. Your snake lady has a pretty neat flow (especially with the ponytail. I have trouble with hair even with timing charts, so kudos. ^^)Yup, had to scan all of them individually and combine them using ezgif (and the poppy website for the 2-3 morphing effects) before importing them to Capcut.The last few seconds with the helicopter seed, though, were done with flip a clip.
>>8022833lol you fucked the feet up, they're backwards
first time animating CUM
>>8026936Not bad
>>8026771read the post anonit's a folkrore monster that enchants men and can only be identified by backwards feetadded tidbit is that her footsteps in the mud lure fleeng victims right to her rather than away from her
are there any programs for clipping together animations without any loss in quality or arbitrary resolution/fps changes?I'm doing an animation in procreate, which is about 6 frames. Because of how Procreate's retarded timeline works (only one timeline, frames are layers, for a frame to have multiple layers you have to group layers into a single frame, and you can only have a limited amount of layers per animation)... if I want to make a repeat of the same loop but with my character blinking their eyes I would have to make that a different animation and then edit them together in post.Now imo this should be easy right?I have one 6 frame animation and then I have another 6 frame animation and they both have the same FPS, doing 1+1 = 2 should not be a huge fucking issue right?Well Procreate can't fucking do this. When I port them into Toonsquid to do it, then without fail even if I save the animation as a high quality lossless .mov animation when I port it into toonsquid the quality still gets raped. Similar issue with Microsoft Clipchamp, and I don't fucking know why.So is there some other decent program for just fucking putting two .mov files together and saving it as an mp4/webm so I can upload it to 4chan without absolutely raping the quality?
I am 22 and my only job experience is being a volunteer artist since high school. I constantly get accepted into volunteer roles but rejected when I apply to real jobs. I literally work for free and live at my parents house. Is it over for me?
i fucking hate zoomers so much , ageist and complete fucking retards.
>>8027234nta above you but tbf we grew up constantly being told that and shown that every successful person was this prodigy that became successful by this age. It was pretty normalized and treated as something every single person should try to achieve. Its honestly not unexpected that we've all suffered this mass psychosis of running out of time when growing up deluded us into thinking we should've had everything solved by now. The lack of opportunities to make progress in any aspect of life doesn't help either
>>8027243 draw instead of larp or cheat already like the br and the frenchie, normies can't tell the difference anyways.
>>8027243>unable to break the conditioningim not telling you to go commit a mass shooting or wave your magic dick and get rich but at least stop collectively being insufferable retards jesus christ, no one ever witnessed an actual filtered generations like zoomers
Great bread
>>7989810I might start a patreon in the future and i plan on using audio from copyrighted material in my animation clips posted there. To avoid being reported/sued, would a workaround be simply posting the animation with no audio, then underneath it posting a catbox link of the animation with audio?
>>8029158Patreon doesn't care, people post unblurred and uncensored reactions to full copyrighted shows and anime on there all the time.And there's no point to suing for that, they would at most send a cease and desists, but if you take it down as the cease and desist demands your good.Just post with copyrighted audio
>>8029226Maybe I'll bite the bullet. Hopefully the cease and desist order doesn't happen cus if this works out I could make quite a mint for a while. I hope it works out
>>8027160any video editing app would do that, i use davinci resolve which is free, and it looks like theres an ipad version too. if you're serious at all about animation though it's time you got a proper PC/mac workstation. If i were stuck with only my ipad i'd go crazy
>>8027396I kind of hate how everyone in my generation just accepted the "loser generation" identity. Like my guys, WE need to get our shit together if there's going to be humans on this planet in 50 years.
>>8027160Dumb question but have you considered just getting procreate dreams?
where tf did these blogposters come from less yapping more animating
oops wronhg framerate
>>8027396>tell ONE zoomer to stop being retarded COLLECTIVELYme thinking someone here's retarded singularly IDK
Gee, It's Sure Is Windy Around Here
the pendulum has swung, i hate animating againsee you all in a month when i love it once more
>>8029241Cool, I will look into that app>if you're serious at all about animation though it's time you got a proper PC/mac workstation. as much as I want to, I am poor as shit and on welfare right now. Can't really afford any of the tools I'd need to draw on my PC. Only reason I have this ipad and pencil is because my family got it for me as a birthday gift many years ago>>8029312I got it and I hated it. The layout differs way too much from both base procreate and every other animation program I've ever used. They fixed my main gripe of the program not having a move selection tool (which how the fuck do you miss a feature that's been part of MSPaint since fucking windows 98) but I still just can't get used to this fucking layout. I don't know why it's forcing me to zoom in on 30 second segments when I want to draw and then have to manually enter some other mode to do simple timeline adjustments, and I was even fucking struggling to find the button to just add a new frame. Base Procreate was streamlined to a fault and very easy to learn, but Procreate Dreams feels like it's been designed by fucking tentacled space aliens.I really enjoy the layout of Toonsquid and feel that program has a lot of potential, but man I struggle a lot getting the brushes not to feel and look janky.
