Hey, guys. I'm currently trying to figure out how to animate the main character for a game I'm working on, but I honestly have not a clue how to animate pixel art. (Art is not my strongest point. I'm a programmer.) I have looked all around online for animation tutorials, but I can't seem to find much. Anyway, here is my character so far:



I just wanted to know how to give him the normal animations (walk, run, jump, fire a weapon, climb..) I am not asking you to animate it for me or anything, I just need to know the basics and where to start.
Thank you!
