Pixel artist, how do you animate? 2025-11-09 18:27:07


Wassup guys,

So i do pixel art animations, and im kinda new. I've been doing it for like a month (i have some experience animating, just not pixel ones), and i feel like the process is very tedious (I know animating is tedious itself tho)


I just wanted to know whats your method, maybe i can learn or try something new :)

Mine is:

  1. Draw the silhouette, and animate it
  2. Coloring and some shading frame by frame
  3. Adding details like hair, faces...

Pixel art is just an artistic style; the method doesn't have to be different. Besides, your knowledge transfers to other fields; it's just a matter of getting used to it.


I have two methods.


1 - Create a storyboard and animate it in one go.


2 - Animate it in one go.


I'm a bit of a simple person; I don't like to overcomplicate things.


My art :) - My art thread :3 - Some of my OCs :]


If you're reading this: have a nice day!
