00:17 pdurbin hmm, Krita is going to take some getting used to: http://i.imgur.com/UEJZIJR.gif :)
04:15 sivoais awww, a crocodile :-) I used to think I drew *the very best* crocodiles ;-)
04:16 sivoais Having a Wacom stylus might be worth it at some point :-)

12:58 pdurbin sivoais: yeah, my laptop has a Wacom tablet built into the screen: https://plus.google.com/+PhilipDurbin/posts/Hb8qfjoRVSZ
14:53 pdurbin hmm, maybe I'm using the wrong software. This looks good: Pencil Animation Tutorial #1 *The Very Basics* - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n18lavQK60g
14:54 pdurbin Pencil2D – opensource animation software | Community about the 'Pencil2D', an open-source animation software in development. - http://www.pencil2d.org
14:55 pdurbin what's in my head is how in 1990 this guy could create 12 cells/frames in 40 seconds using Disney Animation Studio (DAS): https://youtu.be/qSeYivHZpB8?t=30s
17:01 pdurbin he made a drip like this: http://i.imgur.com/imkgt0B.gif
17:02 pdurbin which I just made in Krita. out of the box Krita doesn't have enough keyboard shortcuts for my use case of quickly creating frames like in that DAS video. but Krita is configurable so it's easy to add them
17:02 pdurbin out of the box the Delete key is used to create a new frame (which is weird to me)
17:03 pdurbin then I set up my left and right arrow keys to go forward and backward in the timeline
17:03 pdurbin once you get to where you want to be next in the timeline, you hit delete to create a new frame. works great
17:04 pdurbin my use case is basically an old school paper flipbook. what I want is a new clean piece of paper each time (for each frame). I don't mind re-drawing stuff at all
17:06 pdurbin basically, my feedback is similar to "quick feedback 2: it would be better if we have an option to choose whether we want the Auto Frame Mode to create a new blank frame or a copy of the previous frame. I like it to auto-create a blank frame by default, though." by Boonsak Watanavisit at http://kritaanimation.blogspot.com/2015/07/playback-and-export.html?showComment=1448551071745#c5799529400788043814
17:07 pdurbin oh, and I just found https://krita.org/item/going-wild-with-animation/ which is a great post with examples
17:08 pdurbin incidentally, I did try pencil2d but it seems pretty buggy on ubuntu anyway. oh well
17:09 pdurbin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2D_animation_software does list some other open source options though
17:09 pdurbin Krita should be added to that list once the animation feature is out of beta. It's awesome!

19:55 pdurbin being able to export animated gifs would be nice: Bug 342479 – APNG and GIF export support. - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342479
19:56 pdurbin but as I mentioned yesterday at http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2015-12-05#i_150252 this is a good workaround: convert -delay 3 -loop 0 *.png out.gif
23:09 pdurbin heh. my kids helped me with this one: http://i.imgur.com/XEyh7hE.gif
23:27 pdurbin ok, all of my thoughts on Krita in one place: http://wiki.greptilian.com/krita
