Dance Dance Meme! A lot of people said they want to make one too so here's how you can do it yourself! D First, you must know how to use some basic Photoshop/other drawing programs. You also need an animation program like Adobe Image Ready or Macromedia Flash. If not, you can also find some simple ones for free, just Google it. Now, copy this entire image onto Photoshop. Select, copy, and paste each dance frame 1-8 sepa- rately onto a different layer. Overlap the fame layers so that they are right on top of each other Now you can trace the pose and change the hairloutfit/flagletc to a different Hetalia nation, or just your own character. Notice that frame 7 and 8 are the same except the star on frame 8 is a little bigger and further out, so you don't have to redraw frame 8, just change the star Then color in everything except for the shirt, leave that transparent. Once you're done with that. Make a copy of each frame and flip it. Number the flipped frame 1, frame 9 and so on. When you animate it, just do it in the order of frame 1-16, that will create a loop. If your character has unsymmetrical hair or decoration, you must redraw those parts in the flipped frames Finally to add the flag/design of your choice to the shirt, create a layer beneath frame 1 and paste the flag there. Erase any parts that appear out beyond the shirt, and then merge both layers together. Do this with every layer and remember to paste the flag in the same place every time so that the design doesn't move. Beneath all the frame layers, create a new layer for your back ground and you're done!
