Finally FAQ guys! Thanks btw to people who asked questions on my poll! *v* Feel free to ask any questions that I have not answered here in the comments, thank you~ Heart 

SWEET-ness Heart Divider #2 by Gasara

 What programs do you use to draw?
  -Updated Nov ‘17 I currently mostly draw on my iPad Pro with MediBang (best mobile drawing app, no joke! And it’s free!), though on my PC I currently use Clip Studio Paint EX (CSP)!


What programs do you use to animate?
  -For my sketchy animations, I usually use AzDrawing2; for cleaner animations, after sketching the frames, I would line them in Sai and put them together in Photoshop.
  -UPDATED 05/05/2016 - Lately, I use a free program call Krita for all my animation needs 8D It's great!
    -Updated Nov ‘17 I mostly use CSP for all my animating needs but I occasionally still use Krita. Both are recommended for those who want to get into frame-by-frame animation! (abut Krita is FREE!)

What is AzDrawing2? I've never heard of it before.
  -AzDrawing2is a free drawing programs than can turn your layers that you draw into a gif animation. It has onion-skinning and playback you it makes it easier to draw out your frames. It is NOT a spiffy animation program. It doesn't do anything cool. Just what I mentioned above.

Will you join my Project/Manga/Animation series?
  -Updated Nov ‘17The simple answer is NO. I reject 90% of inquiries (especially unpaid, because I have mouths to feed OTL) I will most likely reject ALL animation projects because I simply don’t have time for them (and my attention span for them is pretty small; which is my I stick to short gif animations lmao). But I might accept non-animation project! Either way, you're still more than welcome to note me if you want to take your chances (animation or not). I won't bite 8D 

 Do you do commissions/requests/etc...?
  -I usually take Sketch Commissions. I do not take animation commissions although I may occasionally take YCH animations; in general, I am a lazy human being and animations are something I casually do for fun and I don’t quite want it to really become work yet OTL I might open them in the future though, if I feel good enough (or I’m poor enough lol)QAQ9

 Do you answer to every comment/thanks for fav every time?
  -I read all of my comments and appreciate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM QAQ and I try to answer ALL comments and questions//// ORZ Unfortunately, I don't have much time to thank all of my faves/watchers BUT THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME from the bottom of my heart. Srsly guys. I'd be nowhere without your support.

 Do you use references?
  -Uuh... Not very often. Unless I'm drawing a specific character or I just cant get a certain hand position right of something, then I'll look for refs *shrug* For animations tho, I try to finds refs for the movement I'm trying to execute. If I can't finds refs, then I'll just wing it 8D

When/how did you learn to animate? CAN YOU TEACH ME!??
  -I get this asked at least twice a week. I'll start off by saying I'm the worst freaking teacher in the world. I'm self taught so I learned by trying it out and testing to see if they work. (trial and error, y’all. That’s my secret). I look at looooooots of different animations to see how movements work (its fascinating, really, to see how putting together a sequence of images can make a character come to life). I'm still very much learning myself OTL So to properly answer this question, I learned with lots of hardwork, selfstudy, and dedication, and no, I probably can't teach you.

So I'm just starting to try and animate in CSP but haven't a darn clue on what I'm doing.  Trying things and it's fun but um yeah... I've been binge watching videos and such but do you recommend any in particular for help on animation?  I don't even know how to export once I do finish something lol. Never knew it took so much to get so little movement but I'd like to be able to create movement flow like yours without pulling my hair out or chewing all my pencils to nubs before I'm done.
