Public tutorial "The way I animate sprites"

[Marko]

My way of doing sprites (atleast how I prefer to do it.)



Each Frame from a scratch.


1. Draw one frame outline.
2. Drawing 2nd frame outline from a scratch and continue same with the rest of the frames.
3. Checking the outcome, to see if its smooth enough.

4. Coloring the frames.
5. Checking again the animation, to see if its smooth enough.

6. Shade frame.
7. Also you can check all frames after shading one part.
8. The outcome.


+
...You get more experience in animating by drawing each frames from 0 (some may take need just edit)

-
...Takes some time to finish but outcome looks good.



Other ways which I prefer not to use.
Copy paste is not realy good way because you can easily overuse most of the details and it may look halfass.
Copy paste mostly does not looks natural. Some parts looks strange unless you edit them.






feel free to post yours.





Thank you Simoneon for moving this to tut section.

Actually this things helps me.
I always thought ppl just "free transforming" some parts of body in different ways.(then change details like inclination of the body etc. in "spriting way")
I might try that, your outcome looks good. but you're skilful indeed.
