Hey. I realize this isn't really the right place to ask this, but.. Yeah. This is the page where I intend to spend most of my time, now that I'm signed up the forum. Basically, what I wanted to ask is, how do I prevent "Shakiness" in my animations. I've watched the "How to construct a stick figure" tutorial, and now know to draw my figure limb for limb. I use the grid, all that. However, when I play my animation (I haven't gotten far, because I want to do it -right-) the sticks shake all over the place.
I use a tablet, by the way.
Also, I know not to draw a fight scene. Just trying to do something simple.

*edit* Here's what I'm talking about. I know it's not fancy or cool. I'm trying to figure out what I'm actually doing before I do anything to "wow" you guys, lol. (Not that I could, infact, do so)

I wouldn't say I'm a beginner but its such a short snippet I don't think a thread is necessary.
Please tell me what you think.

It's pretty good bro. You've got all the stuff down going but you gotta work on the vcam bro. The impact shake is a tad too much and it keeps moving left and right before I can realize what should be focusing on. Just a smooth tween for the vcam would actually be better imho.

Hello! As a beginner these things always come into your way. These wobbles exist when the lines are inconsistent. You can try keeping the same frames of other parts if you want, and keep the movement as well as easing smooth and going so it doesn't wobble.

Nice to see new names here. Anyone from 2012+ here guys? lol.

Is a pretty good start I'll tell you that. You still need to learn some of the basics. Really look at the movements etc. Also maybe using guides will help you maintain the size of the stickman. Overall, there's a bunch of things you need to work on, but in reality you just need to keep animating. Skill will come with practice and understanding :)

I like it. The jumps are believable, you clearly know what you're doing. Are you using a drawing tablet or a mouse?

Kinda looks like he takes off with a fart. Not much to say other than is a bit choppy. But you know how to use the software, just keep practicing :)

From this I can see that you have potential. The sicks maintain shape, and move well. I feel that the limitations are mainly in your head. But this could happen from going straight into animation. If you sketch out your scene first you'll have more flexibility with it.

Your stick construction is a little strange; your arms seem a little too short and make sure that you only draw one limb at a time making sure you don't draw like the entire arm at once:

example (Click to Show)

if you don't draw limbs like this they end up all squigly.
