This is my 3rd flash animation using fbf, because I dont really understand the tweening stuff (mc, motion...). I know its really bad, but im trying to get better:Smile: .

Reply, and help me, it was just a test.

I think that it is actually really good if it's only your third. My CC is, it gets a little choppy at the end, don't get lazy with animating, start it well and keep it up, take a short break if need be.

although that question about brush vs line still kinda puzzles me... although I've never heard of anyone using the pencil tool.

anyhow, keep up the good work

well, he starts off in midair, try to drop him down to the ground. When he does the flip when he gets into a little ball, he moves in a straight line, when he should move in an upward curve, if you know what im saying.
as for the question, it depends on your own style. A lot of people here use brush, but i much prefer line. the brush can sometimes give messy sticks, while the line gives much straighter ones.

Yea, thanks, my objective is to start fighting animations.


Btw : This is my first flash animation, it sucks but it was just my first, after seeing a lot of cliff movies. :Happy:

brush for beginner...then can can excell with it or then go to line and become good with that...

I advise you to construct better sticks... there are many tutorials on newgrounds and stickpaage of that...

Draw longer limbs and add more frames to each move, else your character will look like a jumping flea (with no legs).

Brush, line or pencil is a personal preference by the way.

Ok, thks.

My objective is to make an awsome stick fight, and make combos and stuff...but I dont know how to make the stick have the same size every frame, and sometimes I dont know how to make some moves and powers...:Dope:

First, make your stick look good. Look at the sticks of some of the better animators. Try to make each limb with not just one but two brush strokes. So that the limbs are less rounded and more straight.

Here are some sticks that I've made a min ago...What do you think is the best to a stick fight animation? I really like the pencil stick.

Sry for the double post, but Im making now a test...of a fighting clip, but it doesnt look smooth enough why should I do? Double frame? Accelarate de frame rate? The double frame is just, like the name sais, duplicate them?

Plz answer to this and the other posts, thks a lot!

I myself like the pencil tool just for details in animations. Even though I don't use Flash I use it in drawing programs and it gives me good results.
