how come most stick animators have a very nice timing and are good at making cartoony explosions?

it's nice, but I think 70% of all the good stick animators out there have exactly the same style, makes it kind of uninteresting to watch.

Not saying you're a bad animator though, I like it. Just start to do some fullbody, as you said.

because as stick animators we learn to master movements in a short period of time because, with sticks you can produce many frame by frame animations quickly thus improving your movements drastically. And when our movements are mastered we also learn other things like timing and explosions quickly because of the same reasons that our movements have become mastered. Do you get what im saying.
And im gonna go towards fullbody probably when i get my own computer and tablet.

good timing but yeah i'd have to agree with psi, faceless bodiless stick animations are just too stale to introduce anything new. it'd be interesting to see your style in full body

is smooth and stuff but its exaclty like every other stick fighting movie i have ever seen there really is no originality

i mean exactly with the starting pose, the 1pt line backgrounds, the explosions are the same

<+wwchicken> once i walked into the kitchen and there was a sound
<+wwchicken> but i could only hear it when i stood on one spot in the kitchen
<+wwchicken> then i turned off the light
<+wwchicken> and it was gone
<+wwchicken> then i turned the light back on and there it was again
<+wwchicken> so i thought, its an invisible alien

the jump and run at the beginning of #2 is a little slow timing-wise. instead of 2 steps he probably could have taken 1. nice little tests.

14fps? bumb that up noa boy

you do have a good grasp of timing, just get working on full body. sticks have their limits

I always thought I should learn timing with sticks, but believe it or not, I can't draw stick figures, so I always went right for full body.
I was gone, FOR SO LONG

it's best to learn timing using non-human objects. a human is too complicated and jumping the gun on animation. that's why most animators start out with classical bouncing ball and flour sack tests.

if you think thats low you should see how any different fps's stick animators use.
We range from 10-48
and i thought most people started with sticks.
