Lesson 2: Batch Editing


Once you've got yer custom sprite (from lesson 1) it's time to make some frames of animation for it. Yer gonna need at least some walking, shooting, and jumping sprites, usually.


If you'll remember, I started off with Megaman

And made this guy:


When you want to make frames, it's smart to base them off the same guy you started with, in this case, Megaman
This time, I'm making walking sprites, here's Megaman's sprites:




I made these from Megaman's, using my custom guy as my guide.

Always make sure to be consistant, and change the details according to where his arms and legs and stuff are.

So then we compare them
   

And there you have it! Some perfect walking sprites of your character. Use the same method for other sprites! That's it for now!
