Description
Update: Now I have a video tutorial!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how I make my squiggle animations using Gimp 2.6!
Gimp is free to download, you can download version 2.8 here: www.gimp.org/downloads/
I'm using an older Gimp though, so the layout or buttons may differ some. (I don't like updating much!)
I can't believe this took me hours to make, I really hope it's helpful! Sorry I don't have more time to make it pretty, but at least it's neat and organized. I did my best to explain it from a beginner's viewpoint, but you may still need to study Gimp a little.
This is also how I make my animated icons, it's a very simple process, just do a little experimenting and you'll get the hang of it.
Good luck and please let me know if this guide has helped you!
Check out my P2U premade squiggle linearts!

Hmm.. I might try this...Once I learn how to draw with GIMP. I bet it might be harder just because I'm a mouse user.. .__.

It isnt hard drawing with mouse in GIMP. Even for beginners. Atleast if you know what youre doing.

THAT IS NOT ANIMATION! THAT IS .GIF!!!
".GIF STORE INFORMATION FOR MULTIPLE IMAGES AND PRESENT THEM IN SEQUENCE TO CREATE THE ILLUSION OF ANIMATION."

Sarilain In reply to BlueVux [2014-06-22 18:54:44 +0000 UTC]
It is animation though!^^ All animations are made by a series of still images, it's just that nowadays we also have programs that will construct those images for you.

isnt that all that light or perception is though? just a series of images displayed to show that they are moving :V

I believe it would be easy but I only have Anime Studio and not Gimp.

I thought there was some sort of voodoo magic involved with this type of animation. Good thing it doesn't! XD I'll have to try this out soon; it looks so cute when it's done!
