Hello everybody :) Time for a tutorial !!
I animated this fox being surprised (it's a part of the animation) and this is how I preceded : Don't animate full body by full body on the frames, and especially on only one layer ! It's really dangerous : 1st because you can get lost with the many details you will add even the little they are, 2nd if you have to correct something on only one frame it means that all the frames (or a major part) of the frames before the corrections are also false so you will have to correct all of them, and on one layer it will be chaotic and hard to focus and advance fast, you will lose more time that gaining (and I know what I mean :') )
Make different layers for each parts of your characters, exemple there; I made 6 layers for all the parts at different places of the character, so if my eyes are wrong, no problem to delete them separated to the rest =) Also I can move each parts so the animations is never totally fixed, I can still put another effect if I want (head going forward, tail moving less etc etc !)
Alright, I hope it will give you an idea when you create an animation and how to built the body =)
Don't hesitate to ask me a question if you need !
More tutos will come now :D Thank you for your amazing support !
