Yes

Indeed

Hope to see more from you! ;)

You shall;)))

2 Questions: Do you only do two frames for animation and; are you animating on 4s or different timing?

Yeah for stills I try and just use two frames of the linework. Just to imply some life to the drawing or something, sometimes it looks good sometimes not.

I gotta be real I don’t know what that means, I just kind of see how the movement should be and add or take away frames as needed. Biggest thing I do is I make sure I never use the same frame back to back, that way there’s never a moment where the drawing pauses. I hope that kind of answered your question :,) I can’t really explain my timing, a lot of the time I just wing it; and there’s a bunch of examples of how that’s backfired on me. I’m sorry for this long winded and horrible answer.

That's ok. Industry standard is 24 frames per second with 2 frames per second. Not on PC now but it did look like 4 per second. Something to experiment with for sure. :)

I honestly gotta look more into it, if ya got any resources I’ll take em :))

12 principles of animation in video form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4
specific to this conversation would be principle 9. Timing.

There is a book by Richard Williams (director of who framed Roger Rabbit) called The Animators Survival Kit, that goes into more intricate detail. https://www.amazon.com/Richard-Williams-Animators-Survival-Expanded/dp/B00SQCLGD4

There is also a bunch of more modern books/guides/video tuts. by folks who worked on more recent day animations. I have not had time to look at them as I am working on my own projects. If you find any thing that has helped you let me know. I want to stick a compendium somewhere. :)
