Super Awesome Blinkie (or really any animated pixel) Tutorial

Do you love the look of blinkies and have ideas to make your own? Are you not quite sure how to do that? You've come to the right place.

Step 1: Open any art program that allows you to manually adjust your image size by pixels. I use JS Paint, and change the resolution to 150x20 for blinkies, 88x31 for buttons, and 100x56 for stamps. Of course, you don't have to make them these sizes, this is just the sizes most of these graphics usually are. Dividers and other pixels will vary in size based on what you need.

Step 2: Draw (or paste) whatever you want for your first frame :) This specific blinkie is made with both manual pixels and copying images.

Step 3: Repeat until you have all your frames

Step 4: Find a gif maker. I use EZgif. I am not knowledgeable on other gif makers.

Step 5: Upload your frames into the program.

Step 6: Adjust the delay until you are satisfied with the result. This controls the speed of your animation.

Step 6: Upload to Imgur and enjoy using your blinkie!
