Hello guys!

I am obsessed in making stickfigure animations in flash, and i always try to make cool ones. But the only problem is I'm a completely noob in these stuff. Animating is so hard to me. So if someone has a pdf (or can make one) or any other way to explain to me the basic stuff (in a simple way) I will be very thankful for them.

Practice is the key. You need to practice with your hands. Try to control your hand to accurate making stick figure. Don't give up. When there is a will there is a way.. trust me it works. In 4 months ago my stick construction getting better bro. It just need some time and some practice and don't give up :)

There's no simple way. The easiest and most effective way would probably be watching tutorials, those are the closest thing that you're probably trying to find.

To be a professional in the field of animation, one must have constant practice and patience. It takes years to become a pro, you need experience, it's not that easy to just become a pro, especially when you just started animating.

By practice, I'll show you this to show you how practice makes perfect.

My animation right there inspired some beginners so I thought it would inspire you to do great things, the key is to experiment, don't do the usual each time you animate. Set up a goal, and when you reach that goal, make a new one. Continue evolving, and eventually, you'll surpass the masters.

Latest Animation: http://fordz-anims.deviantart.com/art/BSE-V5-R3-425082907

I'm showing you this not to show off, but to inspire because as I've experienced, that first thing that a beginner would want is someone who'll motivate them to be better ;)

Now go practice!

(P.S.: Just in the mood to try and inspire someone, lol)

Wow guys, you really cheered me up there! I can't wait to make cool ones like the ones you do!

And btw, Fordz, you are amazing. I was astonished when i saw that animation reel. You improved really well over these years. I congratulate you for your excellent skills in your animations.

And I also have a slow laptop which makes it laggier and harder :c

Cheers!

(P.S: Sorry for my bad english)

You can't simply be good at animating without getting used to how it works. So play around with flash try different ways of animating and find the suitable preference.
