that’s not what he meant dawg, you ain’t need to change anything about the gradients just the layering of the segments

little tip

make it so the lower legs are above the upper legs so the gradient looks more smoothed out

Hey bro

Look into a youtuber called Mr. Onyx, his vids help alot

Watch Alan Becker’s 12 Principles of Animation. Its on yt

When animating this stuff, you have to imagine as if YOU are the stickfigure. How would you move? How would physics affrct you?

Trust the process. For me, skill just came around as I got older. No clue why.

And final tip? Dont rush. Get used to the pace of improvement. Thing about animating is that you want to get good animations right? But to do that, you have to start putting more effort into each frame.

Thing is, with improvement, theres gonna need to be time and effort put into each frame. Its hella dismotivating and it makes you lose your ambition to create things. So my advice? Dont rush to get good. Get used to the pace of improvement so when youre at a point when animation takes effort, it wont be so hard for you to keep up.

You have lots of potential. Good luck bro 👍

Happy birthday 🎂
