Pixel Art Class - Making Pixel Art Worth Animating

Heya Pals!

Today I've got a good chunk of content for you all about preparing your pixel art (and yourself) for the animation process. I initially was just going to cover some basics for sprite design, but ended up going down the rabbit hole on animation methodologies too, so I hope you enjoy the ramble haha.

Let me know what you'd like me to cover next!
Thanks!
