Hi everyone! I’ve rigged these characters in DragonBones with IK, and I’m planning to use them to learn 2D animation. The joint outlines still need some cleanup, but I’d love your feedback! Any tips on improving the rigs or beginner animation exercises would be really appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

Hey everyone! I just finished my first-ever rig in DragonBones. I uploaded two pics to show the character and the setup. I’ll be animating this next! Since this is my first time, any tips on the rig or animation process would be awesome.

Hi everyone!

I'm sharing my 2D rigging practice using DragonBones. I've been working on learning the rigging process and exploring how to bring 2D characters to life through movement.

I'm still learning and improving my skills, so I'd love to hear your feedback and any tips you might have. Thanks for checking out my work!

Hi! This is my original character and the first skeletal rig I’ve set up using DragonBones Pro for my college project. I’ve experimented with posing using FK and IK, and I plan to create "idle" and "locomotion" animations for this character soon. I look forward to any feedback you might have!

First time rigging in DragonBones

Hey everyone! This is my very first time rigging a character in DragonBones. I just finished setting up the armature and bone hierarchy for this witch character.

Since it's my first rig, I wanted to share it here to get some feedback or catch any mistakes with the bone placement before I move on to the next step. Once I finalize everything, I'm planning to bring her to life and turn this into a full animation!

My first 2D character rig attempt in DragonBones

Hey everyone!

We’ve been working on 2D character rigging for our college class. While messing around and testing the rig's limits, I ended up contorting him into this completely unhinged, wide-split pose.

I stared at the screen thinking, "Why on earth would any human ever be in this position?" The only logical answer was that he was desperately wedging himself between two rock walls to climb up (yes, complete with the tank top and slippers). So naturally, I had to paint the cliff sides around him just to make sense of the pose.

Jokes aside, it turned out to be a great stress test for the rig. I’m still learning how to handle joint overlaps and clean up mesh stretching on extreme angles like this. I’d really appreciate any feedback, critique, or tips on the bone hierarchy and weighting!

¡Hola a todos! 👋

I’m learning 2D rigging and animation. These are my two characters for my university project. I made their rigs in DragonBones and tried some poses.

I’m still learning, so I would love to hear what you think! Do you have any tips for my rigs or for starting animation? Thank you! 😊

Animation arcs/ Path of action

1 Upvotes

I just started to learn animation and I was wondering when drawing arcs for example a bouncing ball, how do u guess the space of the arcs or the points of contact where the ball touches the ground. Is this entirely guesswork through observation or is there a method behind this ?
Any thoughts on this would really help!

My Original Character DragonBones Rigging Study

I created and rigged this original character in DragonBones for a class project. These screenshots show the bone hierarchy, mesh weights, and poses I made while practicing FK and IK.

I’m planning to animate this character next, building on this rig and exploring more dynamic movements. Feedback is welcome!

Critique this short video?

1 Upvotes

Hi. I’ve never posted in here before, but I’m someone who very occasionally animates and have never really had any critique beyond a couple of classes I took a while back.

This is a short bit I made for my sister’s wedding a few years ago. While I think it came out pretty decent for someone who hardly ever animates, I wonder if any experienced/professional animators can offer criticism of issues they see with it (allowing for the fact that I only had Windows Moviemaker available to use, so flexibility in timing/pacing was very limited). Draftsmanship, construction, posing, line-of-action, clarity, etc. The works. Anything you want to point out.
I know what problems I see in it, but I would benefit from outside perspectives. Thanks!
