This isn't how mentoring works, the potential mentors don't compete to be worthy of teaching your dumbass. How arrogant are you?
Also, you posted this in the wrong section I'm pretty sure.
And post samples of your animation, so that people can see if you're even worth the time to mentor.

This is horrific.

on top of jutsu's comment, this story seems appropriate:

Young Composer: "Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing a symphony. How should I get started?"

Mozart: "A symphony is a very complex musical form and you are still young. Perhaps you should start with something simpler, like a concerto."

Young Composer: "But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old."

Mozart: "Yes, but I never asked anyone how."



no one you've ever heard of got started by asking random people to "mentor" them over the internet. there are countless resources on this forum and all over the internet that will teach you how to animate, far more information than any one person can give you. read, learn, practice. that's really all it takes.

The massive tutorial section we have isn't helpful enough?

Try clicking that link you just posted.

That's fucking horrible.

But that's alright, because if you go to the Flash tutorial section, learn the basics, and practice for a couple of months, you will get better.

Look at other people's animations and study what they do.

I like how he asks for "someone who is better than him" as if a crappier animator can teach him anything new.

We're not being rude. You're just being unrealistic.

Don't worry guys. After 10,000 posts he'll come back to General Section and rue the day he ever made that post. Then some douchebag like him will link it to himself.

When I first came to the forum almost 6 years ago and posted a terrible animation, I got the same reaction.

You can either have a cry, and give up now. Or you can take criticism and git gud. In a year or two you'll be a functioning internet person. Until then, go here: http://forums.stickpage.com/forumdisplay.php?18-Flash-Tutorials
