[tutorial] Making smooth, good quality animated icons

[spoopy]

This is pretty much my first tutorial, sort of. Definitely my first animated icon tutorial. I decided to make an easy-to-follow tut because I can't count the amount of times I'd searched around for tutorials on how to make animated images, only to discover nothing made any sense or I got lost along the way because the instructions were so confusing

These are so pretty. I put in memories to take in when I have more time. Thanks for this though!

Yeah, it is a lot to take in. To someone not familiar to making animated graphics, it can be pretty overwhelming. I sure was when I first learned. I was like, "HOLY CRAP, ALL THESE STEPS, WTH". But then I got the hang of it ;-)

Thanks for commenting! I hope this tut works for you. :-)

Awfully sweet of you to take the trouble. I'm getting PS as we speak and I'll give this tutorial a go as soon as I've got the time. Been meaning to get to grips with this for a long time.
Thank you ever so much!

Freaking bookmarked. I've always wondered how you made them so smooth.

Okay, so I tried it out, and after trying to figure out how to convert a few of the steps into CS3 - I got it! It worked magnificently, so thank you! You were really patient to write this all out.

OH MY GOODNESS, that is so freaking good!! Seriously, it's awesome! It's clear, it's smooth and I love the colouring. Yay, I am so glad this tut helped you!!

I wondered how this would work for people who have more updated versions of PS, lmao. Mine is like, idk. Ten years old or something ridic like that.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving this tut a shot and coming back to show me the result! :D :D :D :D
