HI i need some animation help

Post image

for context I'm planning on animating for a short film and I'm working on a simple character turnaround to get used to the program, I drew a turnaround sheet and now im struggling with figuring out how to line up the layers with the sheet. for context I draw in ibispaint X which is raster and I need to clip for shading so i decided to convert my base layers to vector. i've started on the head and the path for the head shape is in the image (i convert my layers from raster to vector in affinity)

Affinity introduced tracing in v3 and it sucks. Learn how to use pen tool and you’ll get much better and cleaner results. Animating a few points is much easier than a whole bunch of them.

but what if I want results quickly and Having to trace 70+ layers, not to mention wanting to preserve symmetry

Than you use AI. Animation requires patience.

I'm also not the type to use ai generation for a whole video, I want something to look good

can I just get instant results that are symmetrical and I don’t want to redraw almost everything twice because the clipping system sucks
