Onion skin is like a ghost frame thing where you are on your second or two and more frames/costumes that you can see the frame before this frame and so on. It would really make animating easier if you guys added onion skin.
The second topic is about when you draw something on the costume thing. When you draw something on that, on the left picture it shows up but not in the same position your drawing is. You also cannot draw a line all the way to the left side you can on where you are drawing it on your costume thing but not on that other left drawing thing.
I hope you guys put onion skins and improve the costume thing. I hope this suggestion didn't make you angry.

Support for Onion Skin, not for the other one.

Semi-support for onion skin, Scratch isn't animation software.

Not sure what the second suggestion means.

Okay I'm trying to send a picture to you guys and I confirmed my account I am a “Scratcher”. I keep failing. Ugh.

I suppose I will have to wait one week or more. *sighs* Instead I shall give you the web link. Not the image link. Wait aren't they technically both the same? I'm not sure but here. http://sta.sh/01w1alkrdkm3

Now I know what you're talking about. Are you sure the sprite is at 0, 0? Try using this-

go to x: (0) y: (0)

By the way I told my friend to post that that is not my account, the devianart one I mean.

Thanks. Gonna go try that now.

Scratch isn't for animations, but interactive ones are encouraged.

Eh? Why not? In my understanding, Scratch is for whatever you want it to be for… like Legos. I would say animations are entirely acceptable on Scratch. Is that against the design goals or something? Who said animation was discouraged?

People like to say Scratch isn't “for” a lot of things. Technically, it's for educational purposes!

I believe onion skin has been suggested before. It's a good feature, so it has my support! I think it would be OK to just have a simple onion skin feature, where checking a box shows a ghost image of just the last costume.
