Speed-Spriting with Photoshopby ~Kiwi-RGB

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Pixel Art / Photoshop

So you say you're good at drawing, coloring and shading in Photoshop, and you wish you could pixel as fast as you draw? This is the tut for you.

Nothing revolutionary here, but some ideas might be new to you. Any questions, please post.

Certainly a help. I think this method is much easier than spriting on Paint or GraphicsGale. (Two programs I have)

I will be using this for a long time to come. Many thanks.

Many thanks Shin, I hope to get more stuff like this done sometime. Possibly some kind of videocasts or the like?

Thanks for uploading this. Maybe I'll finally be able to do better pixel art.

Nice tutorial it helped alot

hmm i want to ask when you want to animate the sprites idle you made do you use a stick form to understand the anatomy or somthing or do you always use things like lasso tool and stuff??or maybe make seperate layers??i would like to know the basis of making my own anmations for a fighting game sprite like street fighter or king of fighters..but i know sofar none seems to want to make such a tutorial like that

~Kiwi-RGB Jan 19, 2011

if the animation is simple with small movements and few frames ("Street fighter alpha" animation style), you can save work by putting arms and legs on different layers and animating like a Flash movie. If the animation is more complex ("Guilty Gear", "King of fighters"), it really helps to draw out each frame at full size, synchronize the shading, then shrink it down and clean it into pixel art -- even though it's more work

hmm i see..so if i studyand practice street fighter alpha style animation like you say is... ill eventually be able to do more complex animations?
