Description This is my very first tutorial made, I hope it's not too hard to understand o_o But guys, please read it over slow and carefully. You need to experiment in Photoshop as much as possible! I have the basic guidelines for you here, how well you absorb the information depends on how long you spent testing things Good Luck!

*P.S.* In older versions of Photoshop, animation only works in a seperate program called Photoshop Elements. Thank you *Zedna7 for reminding me to tell everyone that

Final look of the blink:

Oh and please this if it helped Thanks!

the proper and legal term for this animation and art style is "bit animation" other than that great job.

np, its a common error in the community, pixel is cell shading at the pixel level where bit is more like the graphics of a GBA and older.

hmmm... but mine IS cell shading at the pixel level? I looked up GBA graphics and they don't look as sharp as my pixel arts..?

But I have a question; does this work in Photoshop Elements?

wangqr In reply to MsGingerBreadCookie [2012-03-31 18:23:30 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I don't have PS Elements but I think as long as it have the pencil tool and animation box then yeah, it'll work
