So I saw someone post of a handmade spinning sprite gif that was 18 frames. It looked amazing and inspired me to take a crack at pixel art. Tried to google for tutorials but when I typed how to draw a spinning sprite I kept getting results for programming. I took some advice from one video and drew a basic sprite with colored limbs. Unfortunately the video was just basic tutorial on the steps on how to draw a sprite and it didn't really give me an idea on how to show a sprite from multiple rotation points. I attempted this as practice and the only real thing that I kept in mind was that the height remained the constant.
It needs a lot of work
The legs look the most correct to me but the arms seem to go up and down
I think the thing I need help with the most is how wide limbs should be at various angles I think the side view should be the narrowest torso but other then that I am completely clueless. Is there some type of math or basic rules for these kinds of things?
