Hello! I am 14 years old, and I am a new scratcher. I can animate pretty well, and I know some pretty cool tricks! I'm good with computers, pretty sociable, and I'm just starting to get to know Scratch. Just drop a comment below, and check out my first project, which is a user-friendly animated walking cycle!

Your walk cycle isn't animated very well. Watch somebody in real life actually walk, they don't stiffly lift up their legs, their knees BEND and their feet hit the floor. When you're walking, also, your arms aren't stiffly glued to your body, they actually move.

and they move up and down. it's uncommon that i find somebody's head tilted down when they're walking without any movement at all.

i also don't see what your 'toothbrush' project was supposed to go for, overlooking the messed-up timing that can be fixed by downloading, it wasn't funny at all.

sorry if this sounds harsh, maybe i'm holding your work and basically all Scratch projects to a higher standard than I should, i've never actually tried to work with it so for all I know all of these flaws could be very difficult to fix

Maybe you should try to make your own funny animation, or make a perfect walk cycle, next time you think or criticizing. And I see that your only favorite project is "pickles" which is, newsflash, just about as funny as Secteth's nonexistant toothbrushes.

From what I've seen, you spend all of your time on the forums. Try posting some projects, and see how far you get. He's a new scratcher, just like you, and he's actually doing unusally well for someone who's only posted two projects. I doubt he likes being critiziced by someone who has been on for longer than him, but hasn't uploaded a single project yet.

Maybe I'm sounding just as harsh as you, but think about what you're writing before you post something like that, next time.

I haven't done anything with Scratch, with other programs instead. My "pickles" favorite was a sarcastic one.

When I criticized it, I said that I am not familiar with the Scratch engine so I could be very off on how it works as I am used to working with flash animation

and for your information, I have made my own animation that got 20,000 views and a frontpage, though most likely, nobody will believe me because of how my Scratch profile looks and it's pointless to prove anything otherwise

and just because i haven't tried to make something equivalent to or better than what he has done doesn't mean i can't find fault in it and can't offer constructive criticism for it
