I gotta start saving up, animation commissions sound awesome!

So if I'm reading correctly, static background plus flat shading for one character is $25 per sec?

Isn't toon boom really expensive? It looks like such a cool program though x.x

Yeah, it's pretty pricey. I have the cheapest version (Essentials), and it was $375. Then it's Advanced at $975, then Premier at $1975. There's a bit of learning curve to it, too, but that's to be expected with a new art program.

It could be worse, though, it could be OpenToonz. *Shudders* I never even learned how to SAVE A FILE in that program. It's the complete opposite of user-friendly.

D:
Yeah I was looking at Toon Boom at one point but I couldn't afford it. I'm kinda interested in animating but I should really learn more before I spend money on something I may not use often

Hmm... try Clip Studio Paint EX when it goes on sale again. Normally, it's $219, but I bought it when it was only $87. They even have tutorials on how to use everything.

It's a bit complicated at first, but it becomes second nature pretty quick and turns out being EASIER than any other way I can think of.

PLUS, you can do more artsy stuff in Clip Studio as opposed to Toon Boom Harmony (you only get one drawing layer in TBH Essentials).

oooh, that's good to know. I'll try that first then and get practice in before spending more than I need to

Honestly, you could just stick with Clip Studio if you don't need to sync your animation with sounds (Clip Studio has no sound features).

I just needed TBH for my Markiplier Animated.
