Edit: Pretty sure I put 7/26. Oh well, close enough.

Anyone can join, it's for self practice. You can attempt all of them or just some, I highly suggest trying to do the fundamental practices. Any animating skill can join this, it's not a collab it's just for practice. After you get done animating one just post it here and i'll try to give cnc as in-depth as I can! :)
Friday Funk again, same layout as the last. It'll end on Monday, but you can still post afterwards. It might just take me a while to get back to you. Remember you don't have to do them all! Well since you guys pretty much know what this is, without further ado:


Fundamental Practice:

Heavy objects!: Something we really don't practice in stick animation some might find it hard. Animating a stick/character lifting a heavy object such as a sword, box, weights, etc.

Easing: Animating a ball going back and forth for some very simple easing practice



Effects Practice:

Explosions: Something we all want to animate, but pretty hard to get it right. Try out some BOOMS, if you do attempt this try to do it frame by frame. Color is optional. Yes It'll be hard but practicing it will only make you better

Fire: Who doesn't like fire! Animating anything from a fire blast to a simple candle flame. Try to capture the subtle yet chaotic properties of fire, watching videos on YouTube will help you grasp what it is



Random Stuff:

Ducks: Who doesn't like ducks, draw/animate your best duck!

Gunshot: Pew pew pew, shoot a stick up!

Cool cool, really don't see any problems. Eased well in and out, good stuff mate.

Swolehouse! Nice, the struggle was somewhat short. Overall it needs more frames but you accomplished the task. I like how he went down then back up after lifting the bar up, that was good.

On fire, it kinda moves like..a cobra. It's a good shot though, try to make it more of a..controlled chaos. It kinda falls into the pattern of whipping back and forth which makes it look more like a crazy snake trying to attract a female. Still good attempt my good sir.

The main thing about this, aside from the coloring is it lacks, IMPACTO. You need less frames on the initial burst and more on the smoke easing out and moving around. oxob300 and Frank made a tut on explosions which I'm pretty sure you can find in the tut section of SP. If I find them again I'll edit this posts with the links4u.

Good stuff overall, great practice! Keep up the good twerk Forrt.

The left to right was good, the bounce of the #3 was off because it somewhat sped up as it approached the height of the arc. I'm sure you already know that, just trying to get it done before dah wayne lol. Yea make as many easing practices as you want! :D Keep at it Dark!
