Blowing a Kiss Tutorial. This tut will show you hot to make a doll blow a kiss. for example, I'm using the doll below. This doll, blowing the kiss, is made up of these 3 frames. FRAME 1... FRAME 2... FRAME 3... Take frame 1, and duplicate animation. DO NOT touch the first copy of frame 1, this stays as it is. Work in the second copy, the one you duplicated. crop around the arm, and rub out everything around the arm When you have only the arm left, click ANIMATION>ROTATE And rotate to the left, 90 degrees. The arm will look like this. Put this to one side, you will use it later. Again, duplicate frame 1, and this time, rub out just the arm, nothing else. Use the 1...... 'DROPPER TOOL' to select the colours used in the dolls hair. and 2.... 'THE BRUSH TOOL' to draw in the hair, and body, where you have rubbed out the arm. This now becoms your FRAME 2. It should look like this. (without the hearts) Now the hair is drawn back in, take the 'ARM' you rotated, and drag it into place in the frame. Now drag your hearts, (or whatever you are using) into the frame and position them. You now have FRAME 2 completed. To make FRAME 3, I have once again, DUPLICATED FRAME 1, and DRAWN the eye closed, this will make the doll wink FRAME 3 Now all 3 frames are ready, you need to put the animation back together. Select FRAME 1, right click, and select COPY Select FRAME 2, right click, and select, PASTE BEFORE ANIMATION. You will now have FRAME 1 and FRAME 2 next to eachother. Go to your FRAME 3, (with the doll winking) right click, and select COPY. Click on FRAME 2, (of the two you have put together) right click on 2, and select PASTE AFTER ANIMATION. All 3 FRAMES should now stand next to eachother. they should look like this. Click on one of the three frames, and on your keyboard, press the 'CTRL+A' keys. This should select all 3 frames at once. See how all 3 are surrounded by blue? Now right click, and select FRAME PROPERTIES And set the properties to 30. Right click again, and select ANIMATION PROPERTIES. Check the TRANSPARENT box is ticked, and the REPEAT THE ANIMATION INDEFINATELY box is ticked. Now save your doll, upload, and post for me to see. Tutorial by Jan, MeAnimate.
