I wanted to try making a Toon Boom animation with a minimalist watercolor style. This video shows the process from draft to final. The only thing not included are the first character sketches and the storyboards.
My original plan was to do only the absolutely necessary lines for the dancer, but I felt my tests looked too childish/cave painting like. I style tested a more detailed person and that was the final look I went for.
I intended all of the papers to be images of the other MAP parts, but when I tested the way it looked, it was an awful barf of colors. So... plain white it is.

Tahoma2D is a free professional program for 2D animation. Its open source and does not crash, a miracle, and I am giving you everything you need to switch. It uses an efficient node network like Toon Boom and has the best animation loop system Ive ever seen.
Tahoma2D: https://tahoma2d.org
Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. This tutorial is on Windows 11 using Tahoma2D 1.6.0, so there may be some differences if youre using other systems or newer versions.

Thank my Patreons for donating so I could make this complete tutorial and share it for free. Theres no way independent artists can afford expensive subscriptions anymore, and this tutorial will help them get started on Tahoma2D.
Ive always believed in teaching people how to make their own ideas. It seems fated that instead of creating a Toon Boom class (which was my original plan before the insane price hikes), I ended up backing an Open Source program that isnt gated by $$$.
Better outcome for everybody.
