I love the advice of counting pixels to track volume, that's actually really helpful!
@silphv
@silphv 5 ай бұрын
I don't get it. The character, like almost every other 2D character, is moving like a 3D character projected onto 2D. Sometimes the sword is behind him, sometimes in front, etc. Conserving "volume" is just not how that works. Just look at any reference that inspires you where you like the pose, see how things like clothing, limbs and weapons become foreshortened in space, and do what looks good to your eye. Don't be constrained by conserving pixel count unless you're trying to stylize the thing as a literally flat (a shadow, or like paper mario) creature that for some stylistic reason can't change proportion at all. Penusbmic doesn't always follow this rule in the video itself, it doesn't always look good to do. (The general rule of "the end of the cloak has to go somewhere" does make sense but it's not about counting pixels. "somewhere" might mean behind another pixel, like how approximately half the cloak is in theory behind the character's body.)

I really like the note about keeping the volume of an object the same when talking about the cloak. But at the same time, your perspective will change what you can see, so for some things it makes sense to just sort of remove pixels.

I think that’s the coolest thing about the human mind. Learning something almost completely different can actually help so much thinking better when doing the main thing you are learning. I started learning pixel art by thinking about it as 2D sculpting, this helped me understand the form and how to block in the art without difficult lines :)

Holy shit. I'm in the middle of a game jam trying out making stuff for the first time and my friend, I can tell you with authority that uh... well let's just say baby's first animation is looking preeeetty gnarly. And this video taught me SO much about the tool, the workflow, and like... just how to think about the process in a way that let's you iterate through from a static image to a finished animation. I seriously can't thank you enough. I feel like I went from knowing nothing to being actually confident that I can do this. First I'm sharing this with my team, and then I'm gonna go binge the rest of your content. Thank you. ❤

Woah, I really like your process! I’ve tried using rotation and lasso tools on Aseprite before but always end up needing unnecessary amounts of cleanup work. I think this is because of how I don’t utilize layers the way you do. I’d be interested in knowing how you choose to split your character’s components into different layers, hearing your thought process out loud. Great video, thank you!
