meh, I prefer line tool, things tend to look a lot cleaner, and I don't have to redraw the stick in every frame
but that just might be me sucking at drawing, idk

I suck at drawing as well.

When I try using the Lone tool it's just really boring and I don't want to animate using that tool.
I tried. Several times.

ah ok, maybe that happens to me as well
because I love animating, I'm sure of that, but yet, I'm still not motivated
(which is why I have 11 day's left in an RHG fight, and I've so far animated one punch, RIP: Me)

In Abomination #3 the resizing is not there. I can see the stick taller in the last frames, but the legs mouvement are fine. You may try Pivot. Do you want to see the true abomination ?

That's the point.

Also I can't draw that well. It's better than anything I could do.

why are his feet randomly floating and sliding?


Well it doesn't to me, well the only problem is the lines randomly thickening.

BUt it's less fun that way.


Then learn how to draw straight lines.

You've stated your problem, we've given you solutions.

Your three options are:
1: Learn how to actually draw a straight line, and practice drawing straight lines.
2: Start using the line tool to draw straight lines.
3: Use pivot or some other software where your ability isn't completely dependent on your ability to draw straight lines.
4: Don't do any, and just somehow hope it magically works out. (This won't happen.)

It's your time, so do what you want, but it's hard to have sympathy when you aren't taking our suggestions to heart.

I'm going to go with method one. I don't really see how the other two(three?) options are going to help in the long run.
Also, thank you for the link.

I use line tool and brush sometime pencil...I use them......BTW you need to draw the lines more straight using brush.........(If you like to use both(line & brush) just use pencil..BETTER



I recommend you to use pivot.lol

I share the same sentiment. Line tool is just too boring for my tastes.

Here's the thing though, you need to have more control with your mouse (I assume you use a mouse) and take more time than usual in drawing your strokes if you want to keep using the brush.

An older Abomination. (abomination#0?)

Abomination #4

The sword is made by Creepin_Bro. I also don't know how to animate fire.
It's still fun though.

I feel like the lines are slightly less squiggly. I also got slightly better at drawing straight lines.

I'm not the best animator but I might help you.
In your tests, I noticed something: it's too thick.

And you could make 3 lines to avoid the resizing.
