  • Good software to create 2D animated sprites?

I've tried GIMP and Aesprite, however seeing as I suck at graphic design, I need something a bit more newbie friendly.

Can anyone help?

I am aware of Google.

chemscobra Thanks, however, I downloaded the Linux flavour, and I can't get the file to run, I've extracted it in Ubuntu's files app.

HELP!

    Fun fact: Pixelorama is made with Godot.

    There is Piskel https://www.piskelapp.com/ in case you want to create pixel art.
    You can use it in your browser or download it for windows, linux, osx. Compared to Aseprite it is a lot simpler.

    I managed to get Pixelorama to run, I just suck at drawing sprites 😢

    I know Halloween was the week before last, but I have an idea for a little platform game using a Dracula sprite.

    I know it's been done back in the early 90s (Kid Dracula on the Gameboy) but it'd be an original twist.

    Well here's my first attempt at a Vampire sprite, rubbish innit? 😆

    It was done in Piskel by the way, thanks for the recommendation 🙂

    Here's an updated animated GIF, Dracula to a Bat, I tried.

    Hi! I'd recommend reading Pixel Logic, TBH you could find most of what it talks about online for free, but it's only $10 to have it all in one place and nicely presented. Pixel art has an advantage that if you're working on a tiny canvas, you really don't need to know how to draw that well to be able to make something nice. When I was starting out drawing I learned pixel art techniques before I learned basic human anatomy 😆
