Hi everyone, I've started drawing a character for a small game I'm starting. It's my first time drawing art for a game. So I'm looking for some advice on how to animate my character. The design is very basic so its development wouldn't be too complicated. It's a stickman version of number 1 or something similar with a single layer (with vectors), but when it comes to making the following frames to create an Idle animation, for example, I can't quite see how to make the layer move :( . As well as the rest of the body.

I've been animating for years but more first introduction to animation was the Spriters Resource when I was 11. I learned that a lot of sprites are very simple, for instance Mario only has 3 frames of animation. You can do 3-4 frames of animation for your character and use something like mario or other sprites to get started and to give you an idea of what each frame looks like.
