But my animations so far suck. :'(

...I think... The delays were wrong.

You should just write the basics. Like "How to use functions that you need in AA style animating". You don't have to be specific since Yamija has already coveded that part but many don't even know how to open animating window (I'm not even sure if it has a specific window for it :XD: ) in GIMP etc.

Ah, so that's what you mean. I could do that, I guess. And no, there isn't exactly a specific window for it. If my requesters are OK with it, I could do it before finishing the requests; if not, I won't. :)

Kinda feel dumb cause I see this problem a lot around the internet...
How do you get the extra chin pixels in the Open set not show when the mouth is closed?

Sorry, lemme explain: sometimes when people animate, they leave the previous' frame visible as they move on, creating a sort of "(The) Flash" effect (you know, where the superhero appears to have several bodies of himself in a row as if he's running really fast and the eye can't follow.) If you need a better explanation, tell me. I'm a beginner animator, so I need to know this simple info owo"

EDIT: Nevermind! (I feel like an idiot.)

I like to scratch sprite. Feel free to ask if you need anything :3
Not very experienced at backgrounds, action shots, nor evidence, but I'd love to try.
