Then click 'Export Layers (onion skin mode)' and click your new folder. Now, go back to Firealpaca and click 'file' again. I personally like to name it 'Anim (and then a random number). Now you're done with the frames, go to your desktop and make a new folder. Now you have 2 layers, your final frames. Merge the layer with only the head and the layer with only the body together. Now get the moving tool (i dunno what it's called, it's like 4 arrows pointing to each side, not the hand one) and go to the layer with ONLY the head. Turn off the layer with the body and the head (click the dot beside the layer). After that, Merge only ONE head layer and ONE body layer together, so you have 3 layers, 1 of the head AND body, 1 of only the head and 1 of the body. Duplicate the head layer and the body layer, so you have 2 head layers and 2 body layers. Make a new layer and draw your character's body/neck. Step 2 : The Drawing Part (draw with the pixel tool)ĭraw your character's head (not including neck, only head). After that, click 'view' and click 'onion skin mode'. Set it to transparent if you haven't already, and click 'Done'.
It might be white, and it might be transparent. When you click 'file' and then 'new', you'll see 'width' and 'height'. Would not recommend this as an alternative software but I would recommend this to new artists who's still learning how to use digital art softwares.Just for funzies, I'm going to make this. If you're into using this program for graphic design like making infographics or posters, you can utilize the tools i guess? but fair warning that the tools/interface can be VERY restricting. But strangely enough, it does offer a preview button and you can make simple gif animation on their official site. Instead, you'd have to export your individual frames and import it to any editing software you have to animate it. If you're thinking of installing this for animating or something close to that, it can feel a tad time consuming since you can't really animate here. It offers layer effects like what you would see in Photoshop but unlike the latter, albeit it does have some cool brushes installed, you can't fully customize the brush or canvas texture here. As far as free drawing software goes, FireAlpaca is user-friendly, as in it has a vv basic tools and functionalities.
