Bad footing is good for making a moonwalk animation XD

I got rid of these mistakes a long time ago...the nostalgia..

I have lots of troubles when it comes to animating walking. Even in IRL I can't walk. Edit: Why is everyone replying with :( Edit: Oh. Guys I'm not disabled. I was kind of drunk when commenting this. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You forgot not moving the main anchor node lol

Im only just starting sticknodes and i took and hour and 15 minutes to make a transformation animation and it didnt look like it was created by a 5 year old this time. Thanks!

Idfk why, but when i started to animate, i actually followed the footing rule straight away, but it doesnt have any flow and easing

The 3 mistake is my I make the things without patience

This tutorial actually made a drastic difference in my animations, I always felt like something was off or missing when I would be animating.

Who uses tween frame button for the easy stuff. Ex: Just easing a punch. Or unless you can't do it, or you just want to. Btw, I am still in shadows. And I plan to never return

I still have A LOT of trouble with running and walking

Oof Should have Watched This Before Making An Animation I'm Disappointed With Myself For not watching this :|

3:12 that’s evil,

This actually helped realize a couple of things in my animations, but the worst part is that I’m about to do smth irl even though this video ESPECIALLY THE EASING PART, motivated me to use stick nodes so much, that I started crying and because of just HOW HELPFUL THIS VIDEO WAS 😭😭

Can you please send me the link for the music you used for this video, its really calming.

The way I make my figures walk is way less complicated but the results aren't so pro like. But then again it's just walking.

Nah i got rid of these mistakes when i was 2 years into animating

Whats the music :3

heres another tip DONT USE TWEENING it is slopy and punishes you by ruiniing effects by adding the extra missing frames itll make blood and other effects flicker because they dont have one stickfigure moving the effect is made by getting one stick and adding frame deleting stick adding new stick adding frame. there for the tweening adds the ''missing frames'' aka adding extras when the stick isnt imagine you do what i said earlier on how to make the effect and add frames where the stick is deleted. lesson/tip over lmk if this helped

The best start to becoming a good animator is a walking animation. This is a written tutorial, so pay attention! 1. You'd want to have a stick figure that has a lot of movable joints. for example, it must have feet, ankles and knees. (Not the only needed joints) You can't properly animate with the default stickfigure because of the missing assets. The legs are simply only knees. 2. You want to have the previous frame as ghost so you can keep your feet right. 3. Pose your stick figure, you want it to have a wide stance ready for animation. Not too wide and not too flat. 3.1 Move your entire stickfigure's body parts. This includes: Legs, arms, and head. Now we're going to start to animate. Keep in mind. You need to have a ton of patience. If you don't have any. Try to build yourself patience. All good animators have patience. 4. Sync your hands with your legs. When the legs move, the arms move. This is a very very important step: 5. Your back arm syncs with your front leg, the one under the front arm. Your back leg syncs with your front arm. basically, F + B (Front plus back) B + F 6. You keep your back leg in one place. You look at the ghost and when the stickfigure moves, the leg and ankle remains in the same position that it was initially. Basically your body leaves and forgets your leg. The start of the animation, you lift your back leg up and then place it on the ground, then start. Your body moves leaving behind your poor back leg. Your ankles move forward but your feet are trying so hard to stay on contact with the floor. and then your feet give up and your ankle, after your back leg and front leg end up being near eachother, you want to zoom in so you don't get confused with which is which, this is the biggest mistake that i made. Basically, my stickman's front leg was hiding my back leg, which made me confused and made me reposition my back leg into my front leg and my front leg positioned into my back leg. like they switched places. Zoom in so you know which is which. alright, so. After your front leg finally reaches it's destination and your back leg is behind your body, You restart. Repeat. After your front leg makes it's step. You repeat. Don't forget to keep moving the body. The back leg is supposed to get abandoned into one place then start to reunite to it's family. Then the front leg starts being the one who is abandoned by your whole body. and the back leg is repeating the same process that the front leg had. And that's all. I hope you found my comment appealing to you and that you could understand. I tried my best. A more effective way to animate practically anything is to replicate real life. Walk across your rooms looking down at your hands and feet. You realise your back arm follows your front leg. and your front arm follows your back leg, They have the same movements. If you appear to have the arms not looking fluid when they are going back, contract them then move them back.

Thank you I do make all those mistakes 😂 I even stopped making because of that problem

Two mistakes I’ve noticed are bad grammar (seriously, everyone has this problem.) and only moving one node each frame. (This occurs in most beginner animations)

I’m your one thousandth subscriber😁!!

I really do love your tutorials 🎉😊❤

might have to remind you about the "if you animate a lot stickfigures" one because mainly people just messed up the movements in a group so it looks "trashy"

I ruin my animation in walk and run animation and the fighting animation

what song are you using?

Thanks! This felt like some animation tutorial (which it kinda was) and it helped me with my animation, Thanks man, and also, you just earned a new sub :D

How Do u make the Stickman look like that?

Thanks dude, I do all this problems, mostly the lack of patience

I’m very “Mr.perfect” so for the walking thing, i Cant. Having partially floating frames makes me DIE, and plus i use “Tween (8)” because im not very advanced yet

4:12 if somebody did that kick, they’d break their foot. It also looks very unrealistic, you clear don’t know anything about martial arts by the time you animated that

whats the music i like

the only thing that i understood when watching this video is. im a big *N O O B*

I want to know what is name of music

This video helped me a lot thx

Can you help? İ try to make animation or fight animation when i.The i'll do my all force to make good but my animation being slow or fast

yo what's that app called ( when you touch something and that little circle thing comes up) sorry for bad English/grammer

my worst mistake was supposed to removed from my mind but instead keep comes back....So i get back to this video and sit

Believe it or not I’m your 800th subscriber!

The "aesthetic" isn't an option, it's a clear mistake that everyone should fix Per example; some guy makes the most FLAWLESS and realistic (in movement wise)-good animated animation ever, but looks like absolute trash (in visuals and aesthetic) making it that so nobody likes it

Now, 2 years before i comment, becareful with the excesive use of tween or frame interpolated

Thx for the tutorial kinda thing.. now everyone will stop calling me trash

What stick figure do you use in your video..? Lol. I tried to find it. What do I do wrong?

If you learn physics before in school, then you’ll get it basically

Thanks for the tips

Músic name?

another mistake is easing to much 6:40 sometimes you'll mess up, but keep trying kinda funny how he messed up a bit with the text

On my first time on sticknodes I already know how to make a walk cause my first animation was on stick fighter

Yo bro what is the stickfigure you used on animating called? İ want a stickfigure that can get long like rubber.

This helped alot since i really had no patience and there isnt any flow in my animations and it looks very fast, i put patience and faith into it and now it looks like its alive!

Example of flow: Make a character high kick Then make that high kick turn into running Tan that running, make the character land a strong punch or something.

Dang, I’m gonna make another RU-vid acc and create stick node animations, thx for the vid!!

If your using a fast up 20 and 15 Speed or frame per second use 6 frames As a charging up And boom Add some effects camera shakes and Done

Music?

Wanna hear something funny I used to animate in stick nodes like 3 years ago And I was good not great Now, I don't even know how to animate anymore 😂

Whey

i think maybe like animating someone like sans or somin. non flow is acouly looking cool rn for animating sans

Helped alot literally my animations looked stupid and i had no idead what was wrong now they look amazing thx

Are you using pro? If so, I'd have to figure out how to switch my files over to stick nodes pro

what if you could lock parts of the stickfigure?

Im making an animation but it was only supposed to be a test i added a boss fight to it and it became into a full animation

Mm i am beginner so i wanna ask wht the tween use for

If I ease more and worked on dotting I would be golden thx for tips

Como animas tan fluido yo uso interpolación y no me deja Aser hamme hame ha, y si lo quitó me deja, dime cómo lo ases tan fluido

Why wouldn't it show the guide option on my screen?

This is the sacrifice sanctuary theme (From roblox)

You made a typo when you was spelling "still" 4:28

I know how to do it but I still don't know How to make Those kinda Of Characters.

Another common mistake is using the "add tweened frame" button on movements, and actually using auto-tween.

Thanks for the tips, now I will not follow most of these.

I just don’t when I should use the add tweeted Frame. When the attack is finished or starting?

9:18 n o

*I need the song* *I have been searching it for 2 years*

I remember the first time I animated and it sucked af it was so bad lol

I don't have sticknodes pro ;( I really need it for my channel ;(

I mastered animating using Stick Nodes so, i don't have to make a mistake animating. Right?

Number 1 can also be useful (if you want a character to slide)

Song name?

I think easing is not for me bcuz i dont know how to ease :(

Thanks for vid it helped me tell me if something wrong about my animation on my channel i need the help

Gosh, you made this 5 years ago yet a chill person (you) is making me want to make a non-auto-Tween video rn (that Music put a smile on my face too lol)

More common mistakes 1. Overusing tweened frame and pretty much animating in tween itself (if people get pissed off me because i said it, tween is pretty much your comfort zone but if you go out and watch tutorials and basically follow them you'll be surprised) 2. Lacking flow is not that common, but for newbies... it is flow is how you make the movements fluid and satisfying, also it decreases the grumpy look in an animation. The video pretty much also sums it up so i can't think of anything now lmao

Meanwhile tweening in the background :Am i a joke to you

do you have to use three lines for the body to make your animations look good? or it is not needed

you kept on mispelling background

Sorry thanos you don’t fit my aesthetic

For some reason i animate better when i'm tired. I woke up at like 4:00 am in the morning for no reason at all. Then watched a flow and ease tutoriql. And get this, I didn't copy it cuz it was just a ball moving. And my animation looked surprisingly good, And that was when i was freaking TIRED! Next thing you know. I'm refreshed and then try to animate again and my animation looks like garbage.

The mistake that I hate: Forgetting to move the character so he doesnt looks like a doll

The music is, And so it begins, by Artificial.music on apple music

Your a legend if you animate like this ( i can make animation like that I have to zoom in ) 0:45

when you realise this was all made on mobile.

Lol I'm looking at a lot of stick nodes tutorials so my animations will be a lot better

It’s been three days idk what the heck I am doing still XD

i still dont know how to make a walking animation 😭

I have no clue how to even use tweened frames.

as a Stick node animator I can say this really helped.

I post small stuff cuz it's funny and I have no ideas

I have a question! How do you save the Animation after its being done?

*me who doesn't use tweening* do I really have to use that feature
