Hey guys, I'm windy! I currently animate sprite animations right now, but when I saw this forum I got more interested in doing stick animations. I've tried to do stick animations once or twice, but I can never draw a stick figure properly despite looking at Hyun's tutorial like 10x xD

feel free to add my skype if you want to talk about animations :D @aspiring.boss2nd

here's my youtube channel with all of my animations I've posted - www.youtube.com/thewindyfan

Welcome to Stickpage windy!

I suggest you use Pivot if you don't know how to draw.
Open up the stickfigure builder and viola = instant stickman creator!
All you have to do is edit some lengths and widths, swap out a couple shapes here and there and you're done!

Official site = http://pivotanimator.net/
Program download page = http://pivotanimator.net/Download
Instruction manual download page = http://pivotanimator.net/pivothelp

With all the patience you put into sprite animations, all the posing in pivot should be no different! (I think)

I love your animations windy! :D

If you're going to animate with stick figures, I suggest you use Macromedia Flash 8. Their lines are really compatible with RHG stick fights!

Anyway, welcome to SP!
