Any tips for creating 2d?

I’m currently working on a 2d game and I’m finding it difficult to design and animate 2d characters. Does anyone know how this can be done fairly easy? I currently use inkscape to design and draw my characters then I use gimp to create sprite sheets. I’m finding it really difficult to animate them. Any tips? Software? Thanks!

I personally use a combination between algodoo and photoshop. In algodoo I mainly “animate” my sprites :slight_smile:
