Hey guyz, i'm making Practice anims:
Sword & Trails Practice
Parcticle effects Practice
Fighting movements practice
30fps Practice
Line tool stickfigure practice
Reaction Practice
any CnC? :c

I can't CNC the second one. You need to get rid of the V-cam, it is not necessary and it prevents me from looking at it properly :/

On the swords I recommend you to start practicing with easing,smoothness, and flow first because it just looks sloppy.
On the second one, the vcam isn't really necessary since there is no particular force that is shown.
The particles could use some work too.
Overall, I recommend that you practice first with mainly on the movements before other else.

1. Sword and trails. (Click to Show)

I would say that your sword practice was pretty good! Your anticipation was decent, and with the sword fighting itself, it was perfect, but animation-wise, you could do better.

Firstly, your animation had a lot of "stop and go". Your stick figure attacks, then stops, then attacks again. This is a bad thing to do, especially if you want to animate combos. When you animate your easing after you attack, your frames should be VERY small movements. Unless the stick figure is going to stop completely, the stick figure will always be moving.

Also, your stick figure is very wobbly. Do you draw many parts of the stick figure at once? If you do, do NOT do that, ever. Always draw every body part separately. Also, Ctrl+Z is your friend. If it does not look right to you, it will not look right to your audience.

Finally, with the sword trails, I wouldn't recommend using those sort of trails. It is quite hard to skew/scale it right. For the stabbing move, it should not have a trail.

Thank you SSB, first yeah i know about the stop and go but before the stop i really made a lot of easing frames but they still looked part of the attack in my opinion so i had to put some stops :c i'll try to remove them next time, and yeah i draw all the body parts at once but after watchin Hyun tut and readin' your comment im pretty sure from now on go ill draw each part separately, i really use CTRL+Z a lot trust me, but as it seems my stick construction is still bad, (if just i had a tablet pen :c )
and yeah it's hard to skew those trails but they really help noticing the fast sword movements.
about the V-Cam, yeah i'd try to shake it less next time OwO
Thank you a lot for your CnC it's really helpful <3

Well yeah, that's what i am doing: i'm practicing them, but it seems they need still to improve :c
about the V-Cam same thing i said to BBS.
Oh and for the parcticles effects that was REALLY rushed, if ill have to make a definitive one and use it for all my anims i'll make it surely more decent, Thank you too <3

There are resizing, wobbles, and insuffecient easing and flow. the punches seems unnatural.
Practice more on basic movements first like walking and running. You caould also watch some fighting vids on youtube for reference
then copy them. That's all my cnc i guess

Thanks again HyMaster :D i will watch some fight vids as you suggested.

Update:
Added some practice anims, check them in the first post or in my DeviantART and don't forgot to CnC °-°

i saw you at your beginning and now: wow
great amelioration and im happy to say that your better then you were :)

Thanks GenZ

i just strongly suggest brush tool

you can even animate it in line tool, and convert the whole animation to vector shapes using the following method:

edit multiple frames tool (next to onion skin)> bracket the line animation with the onion skin brackets> ctrl+A to select all, you now have all of your animation selected> modify menu> convert lines to fills

then whatever poses are a little too complex to be done with line tool can be gone over with a brush/eraser.

hope that helps

I tried this into my line tool anim but i didnt notice any change, maybe i did somethin' wrong :c
but i personally like stick figure drawn with line tool

You have an interesting style of stick constructions Choopiek. I have to say, I see an enourmous improvement when it comes to your animations, nothing seems to be rushed, every effect is neatly done, nothing is unfinished. I liked them all, although you should work on that stick construction a bit more.

Well thanks Jazzon im glad you like my practices, but do you mean that my stick construction is wrong or that there is resizing during my anims?

Update
Added new anim ;3
