  • I recently did a thread over on Twitter where I posted a bunch of small things I've picked up over the years.
    Original thread here: / 1435600476666482689
    Since people seemed to like it, I've combined them all into a single 8-minute video to put here, hope they help!
    I elaborate a lot more on these techniques in the thread I linked above: when I use them, why I prefer them over others, etc. So, if there's some confusion surrounding a few of the clips, I'd recommend checking the original posts out.

    6:36 you can also just type "/4" after the width or height and it will divide it by 4 for you so you don't have to do any math. tons of great tips in this video though! i didn't know about several of these.

    Hello, thank you very much for this tutorial! I found new things thanks to your help :) However, I have a doubt, how to make the pencil despite the fact that the canvas is very large, still be made 1 pixel? Every time I enlarge the brush, the lines made are increased, and I only want the drawing to be made by 1 pixel, I hope you understand it and I await your response, thanks!

      Awesome, I'm glad to hear it 👍
      The clip you reference is something I do when I want to create animations with somebody else's pixel art.
      Most people increase the size when they upload their animations, and so this is how I bring it back down to normal size.
      hope that makes sense!

  • @shirakage_
    @shirakage_ Год назад

    I decreased duration time of my few frames but When I export the animation, they turn into the normal speed frames, how can I avoid it? thanks.

    • @nootall
      @nootall  Год назад

      Not sure about this one! I usually try to use the same duration for each frame.
      If you're trying to make a few frames last longer, then your best bet is to duplicate the frames.
      If you're trying to make a few frames shorter, you may need to make all the frames quicker, and then duplicate the frames you want to last longer.
      Although, I did just experiment with exporting an animation with different frame speeds and it worked fine, not sure what's causing your issue

    @draymations Год назад

    whats your recommended canvas sizes? I want to make pixel animations for yt.

    • @nootall
      @nootall  Год назад +1

      I usually go for around 170px x 120px - somewhere in that ballpark, but it all depends on the style you want to go for. For many people, 50px x 30px is enough space, for me, it's not.
