Haha, thanks! 😂

I made a version with all Character Animations isolated:

Thanks @Alfred! 😀

Thanks guys! @AdamStanislav @jmwellborn It was! 😀 I personally like these two and their interaction the most 😄 What character do you like the most?

This was the original drawing on paper. I scanned it using an ordinary flatbed scanner and I used the original scanned raster graphics, after isolating them, to animate:

I made this drawing 24 Years (!) ago. And it recently started begging to animate it. And so I did! 🤠 This took quite a lot of cutting, slicing and editing in Photo (around 200 parts)! Long live the Affinity Photo Clone Stamp, non-destructive vector masking and the always great exporter (thank god it's also there in Photo!) which directly exports to Spine, which is just wonderful! 😀 BTW Not only the animation on paper is endless, but the whole video is also a seamless loop! 🚶‍♂️👍 Hope you like it!

Yeah, I saw that one. That one is also pretty useful! 😀

Wow, guess I have to dive into some Photo tools and features after working so much with Designer and other software: these background removal tools are pretty amazing 😗 remove-background.mp4

@Jtyoung510 I totally get that it can be intimidating at first, but once you practise this one it's way faster AND non destructive, as you never need to get rid of a handle. I use this way faster than shown in the video and don't even need to think about it anymore. But in the beginning I had also a hard time. It was just training. In the end I think this works much nicer than having a shortcut to get rid of handles, while the only thing I want is to make a steep corner. But it's up to you how you do it of course. Good luck! 😀

When I want what you're after I rotate the handle so still never need to click the node. What I do is: - click - move mouse to second position - click and drag the pen/mouse until I get the right curve - press ctrl and alt (on windows) while still holding the mouse or pen down to change the angle and length of the last handle to make a 'hard turn' (this keystroke makes sure the other handle keeps its length and direction) - click and drag the pen/mouse until I get the right curve - etc. Hope this makes sense (you can also look in the statusbar on the bottom perhaps to see what's happening) BTW at first this takes a while to get used to, but in the end it's second nature and you don't even think about it anymore Also an important reason to doing it this way: you never loose the handle, so you can always correct or change the curve later if needed path-drawing.mp4

yes, I saw that one and liked. But perhaps you have more 😉 Up to you of course

If you want to start a new curve, you just hit escape and draw another curve. But normally you want to continue drawing a curve right? I don't get what you're after. Perhaps you could explain. What I see you do in your video is clicking the same node after drawing a segment as if you'd like to continue the curve, but that's not needed. Just a quick'n'dirty example (I'm eating at the moment, so not really working precisely, haha 😄) where you can see I never hit a node to continue drawing quick-and-dirty.mp4

I am confused. Why don't you want to continue the same curve?

@Jtyoung510 Watched the video now and see you click each node to continue drawing another, but that's not needed. You can just continuing drawing. Wait.. I'll show you

@Jtyoung510 thanks, I'll watch it. Quick tip: if you post MP4 videos we can watch it in the forum without needing to download it to see it locally with software
