So first of all, you're going to have good days and bad days. Like wise, you're going to have good drawings and bad drawings. Doesn't matter how they turned out, the important part is that you drew something and learned from it, even if you're in the worst drawing mood ever.

Draw everyday, or at least the majority of the week. Each drawing doesn't need to be done in hours long sessions. When I draw, they're normally 30min to an hour. Sometimes 90min depending on how much time I have. Sometimes, I break up my drawing sessions throughout the day so I don't feel so stressed out. During a day a few months ago, I had one page I wanted to fill and I just spent 10 min here and there doodling on it. Do what you can despite your time constraints. Although I will admit that due to my overwhelming time constraints, there were a few weeks where I hardly drew anything at all. Sometimes you just have to let it run it's course in order to get back on track.

Resources:

http://drawabox.com/ I just started the lessons on there a week ago. Revisiting the basics is always important for intermediate artists and for beginners, is a much needed foundation. Use this website as your starting point. The site also has their own subreddit for critiques.

For images to draw, I use FB pretty heavily. No idea if you're on there, so you may have to do some of your own research if you're not.

Daily Drawing Challenge They post an image a day to draw. There are albums that has images of past days, so don't feel restricted that you have to draw that day's image. I normally draw past images.

Hi Resolution Paintings Re-drawing master paintings is a good learning tool.

Today's Inspiration Group I don't use this group to draw from things, but it's a nice group to join regardless. The stuff shared has strong compositions, emotions, and storytelling most of the time.

Draw This Just found this one recently. Has some good images to draw and a wider variety than the Daily Drawing Challenge group (at least to me).

Line of Action This website is used by EVERYONE who wants to draw figures and poses. Bookmark this or remember it forever.

Instagram is another good tool, same with tumblr for looking at photos to draw.

The best way to learn is not from photos, but from life instead. Draw the objects in front of you, the scene on the bus/park bench/cafe/etc., flowers, buildings, people, food, whatever. If you draw objects in front of you, you can draw it at multiple angles and really study it. With photos, it flattens the image out for you, so drawing from life gives a greater sense of challenges, understandings, and advantages. Sometimes it's hard to draw from life, so you make do with what you have.

But man, drawing and studying photos and from life can be pretty boring. There's that creative juice that you just need to let out at times.

Daily Spitpaint Daily drawing prompts that should be done within 30 min.

300 Drawing Prompts I personally own this book and draw in it once in a while for like, a week straight. Definitely something I recommend to everyone. They also have a 500 drawing prompt book, but the 300 is easier to carry.

Never be afraid to redraw something over and over again. Through each iteration, you'll improve each time, even if it sucks from the previous version. For every good drawing you create, there's a lot of terrible ones that followed behind it. Don't be afraid of those drawings.

Last but not least, if you can get to the library or buy some books, I would also recommend looking at books about the basics of design and color theory. Those can be looked into later on though and shouldn't be the main priority. Getting yourself to draw is the first step.

I hope my bombardment didn't overwhelm you. Draw a Box describes that drawing is going to be a long process to learn, so take your time with everything. Go at your own pace, relax, and enjoy it.

The art in you game is really good but the walk cycle is a little stiff. I think you need 4 frames per step (left and right) for a total of 8 frames. I assume by the title of your post that you don't have a lot of practice with walk cycles. [This] (http://i.imgur.com/BXrVtHZ.jpg) might help.

That picture is taken from [The Animator's Survival Kit] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Animators-Survival-Kit-Revised-Edition/dp/086547897X). Really good book with a lot of walk cycle stuff.

Edit: So i made a walk cycle real quick with the 8 poses(two each, contact, down, passing, up) with a representation of your character. [This] (http://imgur.com/AxmxXhE) is what it might look like.

Thanks. That's too bad, it would be pretty cool if you could do custom orders, or even if you could request specific game pallets. Though now that I think about it, I bet this wouldn't even be too difficult of a DIY product, if you can get large blank magnet sheets. This looks like it would work. Just need to figure out how to best color them, and how to reproduce the colors I want accurately.

Great style kinda a pixel art Steve Ditko thing going on - much respect.

Got any more ?

If you want some great tips on proper animation, you HAVE to read Richard Williams' The Animators Survival Kit. It is considered the Bible of the animation industry... AND it's a really fun read... and there is no way you'll come out of it not knowing most of what you need to know about animating anything.

He has a very confident strut.

As soon as I saw it, I immediately thought of this song.

But yeah, you don't bend your elbows that much while walking.

Also, the hands and feet don't have as much movement as the limbs their attached to, which leads to weird stretching and waviness.

I'd recommend 'finding' this book if you want to learn more about animating.

For anyone interested its an animated promo I made for a board game called Super Hazard Quest.

Oh my god that's so cute! I've been pining after the new tamagotchis forever but they're so expensive. I had no idea you could import your own backgrounds?? How neat!

To confirm, it's one of these right?

Honestly, I don't know much about graphics tablets, but the Wacom Intuous Draw is currently £49.99 on Amazon UK.

If you really want your mind blown, check out the story behind them.

Each frame was taken with a separate camera, and I honestly have no idea how he got such good results working with 1870's cameras and having to time the shots.

Also very useful is this amazing book by the director of animation for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, amongst other job titles, but that one should let you know he can animate damn near anything that moves.

I have bought it twice; the second time after someone stole my first copy.

This is the one I have and I can't recommend it enough.

u/alphtrion · 2 pointsr/PixelArt

will ask the GF, doesn't look like it's customizable though :/
it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Paladone-Products-PP0824TX-Asobu-Pixel/dp/B00CBUN694

These parallax scroll as an intro.

The game is an NES style vertical shooter based on this dumb book, sort of following 8 bit restrictions but I'm cheating whenever I feel like it.
