I downloaded ‘Animation Desk’ but ever line I drew shrunk so I had no clue where everything would appear. Do Y’all know of any other animation apps?

Firealpaca. You can use it for frame-by-frame animation. It's a lot like drawing every frame out on paper in a flipbook, except firealpaca gives it the convenience of easily moving, deleting, and editing frames since it's digital. I'd recommend looking up a tutorial.
It's also free, but if you're willing to pay money there are some even better animation apps out there that I could suggest.

Ohhh I did not know Firealpaca could do animations, I’ll check that out! Thank you!

No problem ^.^

Yeah I've used fire alpaca to animate before, I know you can animate on krita as well you can even add audio and bring up the timeline for it. I haven't played with the krita one much though.

Oh I didn't know you could animate with krita lol, I might check that out later today if I can remember

Yeah you just have to change the layout of it or something, I can't remember how off the top of my head but theres tutorials on how to do it online

Krita’s great for animation but it has a bug that makes the audio speed up or slow down slightly, it can be fixed by changing the animation speed but it’s a bit of a pain. I prefer it over FireAlpaca though because it allows you to render the animation straight from the program (if you download the plugin, of course) unlike FA where you have to save each layer as an image and import them slowly into AlpacaDouga just to make a .Gif that can only use about 64 frames before it gives up on you. Pencil 2D is also good, and I’ve heard a lot about flip a clip.

Oh yeah with Krita the tutorials are good but the one I watched forgot a detail that you have to remember in order to turn off onion skin, I can’t explain it right this minute but I can later if needed

We downloaded Krita but we don’t actully use it because it’s to difficult, the brush controls are hard to use and there are way to many.

Well that’s my favorite part about it because I sit around in my room making brushes al day, which is how I’ve ended up with white out pens and toothpaste brushes that I will never actually use in a picture

Yeah in krita I have about 10 brushes in my favourites and I don't venture out much from those haha
