Ok, I'm making an animation and it takes a lot of time, (I don't mind but my parents do) so I thought probably I wasn't doing it the proper way, to make the stickman walk (for example) do you do it frame by frame or using a movie clip?

If you are animating a fight, would you use graphics to make stickman or only paint them and then make a shape transformation?

Thanks.

You should use yourself because YOU'RE A TOOL!!
joking.

For better practice I recommend frame by frame with a medium sized brush zoomed into 200 or 400% (depends on if you can see the entire character in the window while doing 400%.)

OK, I'll try, I've already started an animation using shape transform between non joined frames (I don't know how to say that).

Thanks.
