In this article, we use Photoshop and ImageReady to create a familiar QQ emoticon animation of a black and white villain kowtowing.
My work is a bit rough. All you need to know is how to make it. I believe you can do it better than me. Experts, please give me some advice!
Take a look at the renderings first!
Next we start making this QQ emoticon animation.
1. Create a new 300*200 file in Photoshop, create a new layer 1, use the pen tool to draw the person’s head, body, hands and feet, and fill it with black.
By the way, there is also a ground. Use the rectangular marquee tool to create a selection and fill it with black. The first layer is for the kneeling ground.

2. Create a new layer 2, and also use the pen tool to draw a man hitting his head on the ground.

3. Duplicate layer 2 to get a copy of layer 2, select the brush tool, and set the foreground color to red.
Adjust the size and hardness of the pen tip appropriately to draw the blood splashed by the impact. You don't need to draw a lot of blood on this layer because there is still one more layer to draw.

4. Duplicate a copy of layer 2 to get a copy of layer 2. Draw more blood on the basis of the previous layer to achieve an exaggerated splatter effect.

5.OK, the Photoshop part is completed. There are 4 layers in total. Close the small eyes of layer 2, layer 2 copy and layer 2 copy 2. Only the background layer and layer 1 are displayed. Prepare to go to ImageReady to start production. animation.

Next, copy the impact bleeding (copy of layer 2) and exaggerated blood splatter effect (copy 2 of layer 2) to the animation panel, using the same method as the first and second frames, for a total of 8 frames of animation.
