Animating a sprite for a game

on: August 01, 2015, 06:36:20 pm
I've just made a 2 color sprite for my game and will probably post it to the pixel art board, but I wanted to ask a question.  Would it be better to start adding colors to this single image, and then make my animations based on that, or would it be better to do animations of the 2-color sprite first, then color in the animations afterward.  I realize that doing the latter is more time-consuming because if I base my animations on the color version I won't have much to do, but if I do it in reverse it's a lot of coloring I could have saved myself.

But you guys might know about pixel animations better than I.

So what do you think?
