You mean, things I don't like? Sure.
I am not a fan of nearly perfect circle-tool eyes for cartoons. Especially when they're touching. I just don't care for how it looks. When every character has the same lifeless eyes, it just doesn't hit right for me.
The symmetry tool being used for more organic drawings feels odd to me. For highly graphic-design centric things, it looks great. But for cartoony or organic drawings of people, I think it looks odd. To have an entire body, hands, face, mirrored? It feels very stilted and lifeless.
I think I am not too keen on the way a lot of online animation trends are animated. The way everything is constantly bouncing to the beat, overly-tweened. Almost gelatinous looking, everything jiggling around. They usually have this almost sterile, perfectly tapered lineart, perfect coloring, polished look to them... it is a little hard to detect the artist's soul, watching these. Nothing wrong with tweening, but this bouncing thing... It's a bit overstimulating to look at, and I feel it holds the animation back as a whole- it almost feels like a crutch. I think the first time I saw this, was that Mystery Skulls- Ghost animated music video. I liked that one! But somehow, it seems like that technique has gotten a bit overused, and misused, 11 years later. I am glad people are creating things of course, but there are a lot of other ways to animate things, and I think folks would have great fun learning other techniques! Nothing has to be perfectly colored, lined, bouncy like that. It's ok to be messy and weird.
I have to stop now. In the end, I'm happy people are creating art- that in and of itself is impressive and awesome. BUT, you asked, and you shall receive lol.
