Switching to Timeline mode, I drew each of the frames with the Onion Skinning icon enabled (circled). I used the Pixel Round Brush found under the brush preset menu. My character animations were blocked out with crisp black outlines and filled in using the Fill Tool (G).

I began with the Pixel Trixels 1080p template, as I’d be primarily working with pixel layers and would only need a single vector layer for the dance floor. The animation would be colourful, lively and have loopable animations of various lengths, also known as sub-looping. Each animation track can have its own short sequence of frames repeating throughout an animation sequence.įor this dance-o-rama, I wanted to show an assortment of quirky characters strutting their stuff on the dance floor. Sub-loops are a powerful addition to the Timeline in Hexels 3.1.
