Pixel Joint Forum: How do I do animation for Beat-em-up sprites?

Message

   It has been nearly two years since I stopped doing pixel art, so bare with me because I'm trying to learn how to do it again.

Even when I was doing it before, animating stumped me, how do I draw the next series of frames? Its all very trying and I don't want to be left in the dark forever.

So how would I go about doing the animation? What are tips and techniques for doing it?

I do have a concept image:

Thanks in advance.

	Tsugumo's "So you want to be a pixel artist" tutorial is the best I know. See pages 9-11 for animation. Feel free to come back with specific questions.
