Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

dude got skills

Richard Williams says a quality walk is the heart of animation. Have you ever read The Animator's Survival Kit?

HOw is it for you to not look down and see what you're drawing?

Have you ever read The Animator's Survival Kit?

I haven't! *googles*

HOw is it for you to not look down and see what you're drawing?

you mean with drawing on the tablet and the results showing up directly on the screen? it was kinda tough to get used to, but I bet it was a lot easier for me than real artists because I very rarely draw on a piece of paper. I'm almost always using a computer.

Yeah that.

The Animator's Survival Kit?

wow, 74 pages covering "the walk"! this looks awesome

xpost I think the most difficult part, so far, is in stopping a line, raising the stylus, and then trying to resume the line. sometimes it takes a few tries to make the connection look halfway smooth. though, again, since I suck at drawing in real life, that's a problem I have with pen and paper anyway

have you tried this animation software?
http://www.plasticanimationpaper.dk/

i'd like to say it has made me into the next mike judge but uh... it hasn't
i think you'll have better luck, though.

I took a look at it just now and might give it in a download soon. The last few things I've downloaded, though, have been epic disasters for me. Not necessarily because they weren't useful, but because I immediately gave up and opened up Photoshop as soon as I was confused by something. my willpower = -43

Meanwhile, I posted this the other day and for some reason this is more popular than creepy cats:

YOu can't really publish a book of gifs, so I'm just going to set back and wait for your eventual Adult Swim deal.

I wonder if you can make a "book of gifs" in iBook format or whatever . . . this stuff would look great on the iPad

or maybe u cld just make a blog of all these animated gifs so everyone could see them, just an idea

live rich on your blogz, son.

Those should be pretty popular!

awesome

yah, bowie nerds are hardcore
also lolz at yr new dn ZS

I didn't really think of it while I was making them, but yeah, David Bowie has a large tumblr following it seems like. Harry Potter is the biggie, though.

dude is a LEGEND, man

love how the first and third in your bowie series gets hundreds of reblogs, but the one that hews closest to the original gets a paltry 29

fickle internet

haha, yeah.

actually the middle one is transparent, so I thought it would be cool because it might look neat on some people's bg's when they reblog, depending on what they have as their bg.

hey animate this Z S!
