How to Draw and Animate Hollow Knight Characters - PS and Unity BEGINNER TUTORIAL (2019)

Hollow Knight + a great tutorial :D, count me in ! Great job, keep it up :)

But what if i want it in that position like hollow knight ? Should i start directly to draw it from the side ? Or better all poses from behind front and sides ?

Great tutorial. Well explained, and I have been using Photoshop for years and never knew how the Pen tool worked nor did I know about expanding selections... That's a process improvement for my workflow!

However, I have 1 tip. Skip the reference dot for pivot point. Instead, simply set the pivot point on the first image wherever you want it, then, (since all the images are the same size) copy and paste the X/Y pivot point coordinates to the new images. This is much easier, and will give you better, more consistent results, and you won't have to worry about getting rid of the dot after.

Cheers. :)

what a great tutorial

I can't afford PS, what do you suggest I use instead?

pen tool is the worst thing ever invented

If the character is similar to the character of another game, then there may be copyright issues? It's just that I also made a character similar to Hollow Knight...

Can you tell me the size of those sprites?

:( really

this is really really great

Is there any way to attach a path to an already drawn shape that wasnt created with a path?

For those in 2021 version, and cannot see the samples, go to the top right of animation window, then click on the three dots, and then click show samples

Thanks it helps a lot :)

Is there any other free softwares to use beside PS?

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing

Awesome tutorial! Animator here who's a fan of hollowknight and was curious - here's some tips for folks trying this at home:

- Bare minimum number of fps you need to make an animation appear smooth to your eye is 24, so you can also choose to set your animation to that FPS if you want something really fancy
- Animate on 2's instead of 1's to have a more stable and less jittery animation. In normal terms, that means have your drawings be 2 frames long, instead of just 1. Also means you cut the number of drawings you need to do in at least half. Reserve 1's for very fast movements.
- please, god, PLEASE use the timeline animation in photoshop instead of frame animation. It works more like a video editor such as premiere, letting you drag out the length of different clips & such very easily, rather than having to copy them to an entire new frame, and manipulate separate layers of animation at the same time. (meaning you don't need to do something like copy the head, just transform it vertically to bob up and down

Have fun and happy animating! :)

My animation keeps moving side to side and I don’t want it to

Hi. I understand that it is better to draw the character twice as large as the resolution of the game. If you want it in 4k, wouldn't it be better to draw it twice that size and then make it smaller? Thanks a lot.

I feel stupid asking this, but is the attack animation (as seen at the end) also a new animation set for the character, based on the weapon he holds? Or is there a way to let the character hold a weapon and animate character and weapon separate to save time?

hello i have a question do we need to use photoshop or we can use an other art app ?

Well, it’s still more detailed than hollow knight :D

So useful. Thanks mate
