I NEED AN ANIMATING AND SPRITING TUTORIAL, PLEASE!!!!!!

The title basically says it all. Need I explain?

BTW, I practically suck at spriting, sooo.............
I don't even know HOW to animate! Help, please?

by spriting tutorial what do you mean? there are many things in the world of spriting~

and i can make an animating tut for you~ do you use gimp?

I have a Mac so I can use eithier Photoshop or Appleworks. Also, I don't know what GIMP is.

By spriting I mean, like, adding details and making them look like they've always been there. I can only do recolors, sooo.........

well gimp is awesome (and they have a version for mac)

(too lazy to make my own)

Serebii's sprite guide really has some... click the link below to go there.

And many more of it, just browse around the spriting/drawing section.

Anyone got a tutorial for Appleworks or Photoshop? THAT'S what I need.

photoshop would be pretty much the exact same concept as gimp~

okay, good to know. Thx for the tut.! I haven't checkedc it out yet, though. but I will.

Photoshop are mainly for graphics, but paint is awesome for spriting, just use photoshop if you wanna color your sprite, or other things (:

or use gimp for everything

and photoshop is mainly for editing photos >->

T~T i went fail making banner with gimp.

I don't think my dad would let me download GIMP. =p

but it's free >.> and safe and easy to use and and awesome and awesome and and..

?_? why not download GIMP? it's free, unless you download your dad's trap application.
<_< and unless your compy still have some memory =3=

Some parents don't want their kids downloading ANYTHING...because they're paranoid and don't know enough about computers >_>;;;;

Anyway I hope you find what you need!!!!

My dad knows alot about computers, but he would be all skeptical about GIMP and I doubt spriting and animating would be a good enough reason to download it for him. =p

My mom knows "a lot" about computers too, but not enough to know that its OK to download certain programs, assuming it's gotten many positive reviews and no complaints about viruses. Just make sure you go to a trusted website ^^
