Welcome to Part One of The Absolute Absolute Beginners Guide to Pixel and Traditional Animation! In this first part of my animation series we are going to start at the very beginners level of animation, animating dots. In this class you will learn to animate dots in various different movements from simply creating a wandering dot that moves around the screen to a dot with advanced movements such as dashing and bouncing and how these principles apply to both pixel and traditional animation. In every lesson there is a clear exercise for you do follow along with and then repeat on your own to develop the skill in the same way athletes run drills to perfect their technique in their sport.
This class uses Aseprite as its animation program, its a very affordable and user friendly program and offers a trial version of the program with restrictions.
