I suggest you locate the head on columns O and P and rows 21-23. Select those cells: Select the cells for the first part of the guy: his head. Right-click on the selected cells and go to Format Cells… (or press Command-1) then go to the Fill tab and select a dark color, You can use a custom color but since you’ll be doing this many times it might be preferable to stick to the theme colors. The character’s torso will be 4圆 px, his legs 6 px vertically and his arms 4px across. You can increase selected cells and blocks of cells by holding down the Command key. We’ll add a shadow using the pattern option. You could also use a light grey for the shadow but I like the retro feel the pattern gives. Patterns are in the same Format Cells > Fill tab but they’re in the Foreground options. The changes for frame 2 would be the man flexing his legs for the jump just by shortening them by 1px, and also bringing his arms down 1 px at the shoulders and another 1 px at the middle, like this: Select all the cells from that page and copy them, then scroll down to the second page, select cell A1 and paste. In frame 3 we’ll have the man flexing his legs a little bit more, so we cut the legs short by another pixel. And we’ll lower the arms a little bit more, so that they are diagonal: You can move large portions of the graphic by copying and pasting blocks of cells rather than editing all the cells manually. In frame 4 his arms will remain the same but he’ll be already in the air, legs fully extended to 6 px tall and the whole body 1 px above his shadow, which stays in the same place throughout the animation.įor frame 5 we’ll extend his arms horizontally again.
