How I Animate

Next upload will be non-artsy I swear XD

READ FOR ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q1) What program is this?
A) Adobe Photoshop 6.0

Q2)Can I get it for free?
A) You can get anything for free if you know how - whether or not you can get it for free depends on how willing you are to break the law. However, if you have a shred of decency in you and want to buy it rather than steal it, I suggest getting it from Amazon.com or Adobe’s own website. The cost of the program varies depending on the version

Q3) How do you make the frame go transparent/faint?
A) The correct term in “onion skin” and you get it by setting the layer opacity of the layer you want to make transparent to 40%

Q4) Is this your character?
A) Yes

Q5) Will you ever finish this?
A) Probably not, as I’ve improved a great deal since this was uploaded, and I have no inclination or time to go back to working on this one as of yet

Q6) How do you save this as an animation?
A) I complete all the frames, and save them each as an individual file, before importing them all into Windows Movie maker and saving the final thing as a movie file

Q6) What’s the name of the song?
A) The song is called Voodoo People Remix by Prodigy

Really quick stupid thing, but I felt like uploading something. A few people have asked how I make my animations and although this doesnt really explain it, hopefully someone somewhere might find it interesting ^^
I’ve only made 3 frames of the animation for this vid, but if peopel want me to finish it, then by all means I shall ^^

Also, I appologise for the attrociosus lack of editing, but if theres one thing Sony Vegas doesnt like, it’s really long clips

Character is called Kaiya BTW ^^

Anyways, enjoy dudes! :D

Song is Voodoo People

Duration : 0:5:4

    lol dw about it - I think a lot of artists suffer from itchy hand syndrome XD I sure do
    Well tablets very hugely in price, depending on the size. There is about £2000 difference between the most expensive and the cheapest. The smallest ones are about £40 ($60-$70). You can get them from Amazon, Ebay and most online stores although Im afraid I don’t know about retail.
    Tablets will work with every program you have on your computer (with the exception of some video games) so the answer is yes

    1. How much is a graphics tablet?
    2. Where can I get it?
