OpenToonz Download
I decided to jump into the program and figure it out. So, here’s a super quick and dirty guide to all the basic info you might need.
Toolbar / Brushes
The toolbar is automatically hidden. You can get it with Windows > Other Windows > Toolbar
It will open as a pop-up and you can drag it and snap it into place.
Timeline
The timeline is a little different from Flash/Toonboom Harmony in that it reads more like a x-sheet. Layers (”Columns”) go from left to right and Frames go top to bottom.
Right-clicking on a frame will give you options to put the frame on 2′s, etc. (the “step” option).
Onion Skin
This was one of the more confusing ones. You can get to it with Customize > Preferences > Onion Skin
Be sure to check the box next to “Onion Skin ON”.
Getting onion skin to work in the timeline is a little weird at times. Like in Flash and Harmony, there are markers you can drag to expand the onion skin. If you aren’t seeing your previous drawing, try putting your frame on 2′s.
Viewing Your Work
To play your animation you’re going to need to open a new window by going to Windows > ComboViewer
It has play, loop, etc.
Anyway I hope that helps! Basically just play around with it.

shrek one: BEST
shrek two: the funniest movie i have ever seen. literally one of the funniest comedies of all time. incredible pacing and dialogue. reference jokes that were actually funny. surreal world that was so modern fantasy it actually worked. rocking score. awesome scene set to "i need a hero" being sung by the villain unironically and completely played straight. a bar of villains. just overall the best concepts ever.
shrek three: bad
shrek four: bad

Cooking show I desperately want: Professional chefs compete to wow and astound totally amateur food critics who don’t know dick about shit. Get eliminated on totally arbitrary grounds such as “I don’t like sour cream.”
“do you even understand how anatomy works”
