So my name is Stevie, therefore as a nickname I have been called eevee before so I've always adored the little buddy. After finding this my love for eevee has grown so much! Not to mention I've been trying to get back into animation (but don't have money for any software sadly) I love seeing all the eevees! They are great!!

AH Thank you so much, Steevee!! I’m super happy I could have been of some inspiration!I think it’s FANTASTIC that you’re looking into animation again! I wish you lots of luck on your software search and future animation adventures! owo/

I seriously love your animations, they are so cute and so smooth it must have taken years of practice to get it that smooth and tons of patience.

Thank you!! :DI’ve “animated” on and off since elementary/middle school, but collectively, I haven’t spent as much time on animation as I would’ve liked. Basics are fairly straightforward to pick up - it’s just efficiency that has to be gained imo.At the moment, simpler things take me around 6-8 work hours to do, while more complicated things can reach past the 12 hour mark (these times used to be a lot worse!).I don’t have the patience to work on the same 2D project for more than 30 hours without a long break inbetween haha, so that’s why you’ll mostly see gif loops from me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

g-get it? FIREworks?

I really want to try animation, but I don't know where to start. Do you know of any software that could help me start? Thank you for your time :D

Note: I am not a professional and thus am not qualified to be teaching the following material - this is just my opinion from personal experience; I am by no means an expert on this matter and you should probably take a professional’s advice over mine!

You don’t need fancy software to animate - sure good software can facilitate things, but you can start with anything – my first dabbles with animation were with MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker!Things you do need are:  • some art skill - you’re drawing, after all  • an eye for detail - real motion is v complicated  • endless patience - prepare to spend hours of work for a second of animation  • punching bag - for when (not if) you get frustrated

With 2D animation, yes, you do need some art skill. 3D not so much if you have your rigs made and ready for you. After that, animation is less about the software (software still matters, just not as much as you might think) and more about how you can replicate realistic (or toony - up to you) motion - the Twelve Principles of Animation is a good reference. All of them are important, but a few good ones to really nail down early on are Anticipation, Secondary/Overlapping Action, and Timing.For creature motion, nothing beats realistic reference like the real thing itself - watching the motion of animals or your own movements is great for posing and timing and stuff!

There’s also nothing wrong with drawing frames one by one and stringing them together on gifcreator.me or something (this is actually how “Bouncy Vee” was made). But if you’re looking for software, Flash/Adobe Animate (what I use) is a good starting point because there’s a ton of resources and tutorials about it you can use!More software I’ve heard of includes TVPaint (haven’t personally tried it - it’s french), and if you are made of money can afford to shell out some extra dollahs, you can look into Toon Boom - haven’t personally tried it, but apparently it’s the current meta in the professional world!
