Cute. I like it.

I would believe that That took 3 hours. Animating is hard.

It gets easier if he were to use bone animation, takes 10h to draw the base model then around half an hour to create a video several times longer.

Also i draw a lot with mouse. Is all about guide lines. Use the predetermined shapes (circle, rectangles, triagles etc,) and use them as invisible layers

oh ok, I'll search up some videos about that XD. I couldn't use guidelines cause it took FOREVER to cleanly erase them. Now since you introduced invisible layers to me, I'll start using them XD!

It basically two different drawings put on top of each other. (kinda when you use really thin paper that you can see though and copy the contour) I learned when I was learning CAD but when I started doing digital drawing I used to do sketches by hand and then just trace the lines back on a computer after a quick scan, problem with that technique is that it was messy and way too tedious. Then I started using the basic shapes as guidelines and I improved quite a lot (mainly because of my refusal to use digital pens).

Bone animation is done by animation software, the learning curve is step but if you are truly up to animations then is probably your best option. I personally like Anime Studio but there are a bunch of software ranging from different price tags depending on what you need and if this is a hobby or something else.

if making animation is just a hobby, you could also try stop motion animation. Very old tech but quite cheap.
