What are we doing today?

Piskel – Layers

Why is it important?

You will be using Piskel to create the 2D art for your game.

What are we doing? How to I show I understand?

Today we are going to create a simple animated conversation with Piskel as a class. Once we finish, you are to create your own conversation with characters you create.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE A PRO! You are an Entry Level Employee at IGD Studios in the middle of your TRAINING! Training is not expertise and that is okay.

Step 1

Change the size to 128 x 128

Step 2

With your Pen Tool, draw two SIMPLE characters (you will be creating one on your own later where you can get down).

Step 3

Add a new layer by clicking the + in the Layer Panel then Change the name of the layer to Talk

We will keep the Talk layer on top

Step 4

With the Talk Layer selected, draw a talk bubble

Step 5

With your Talk layer selected, click the Flick Horizontally button in your Transform Panel. Make sure the flipped bubble will work with the other character.

If the bubble does not fit with the other character, use the move tool to place it in a position that will work for both. If it willo not work, redraw another bubble that will work on both.

Step 6

Create a new later and name it Text. This layer will be at the top of your layer group.

Step 7

We have our bottom layer that holds the art for the two characters, this layer will never change, that is why we separated it from the other two.

Our middle player is going to flip each time the other person speaks so it must be on it’s own layer.

The text later will change for each frame so it also needs to be seperate from the others.

In your text layer with the pen tool selected and using black, write “Hi” inside the bubble

Step 8

Duplicate your first frame

Step 9

Now you have two of the exact same frames.

We are going to modify the second frame so that the bubble flips and the text changes.

With your second frame selected, click on your Talk Layer then click on Flip Horizontally in your Transform Panel

Step 9

With your Text Layer Selected, delete the text and add “Yo!”

Step 11
