My formal education detailed how sprite sheets work in frame by frame animation and I was under the impression that I'd have to commission an artist to draw each of the frames for animation by hand which may be a costly endeavor because I'm not using pixel art. I'm hoping to build a 2D side scrolling platformer and I love the art style of the game Icey. Hello, I'm pretty new to game dev so thanks for taking the time to look at my question.
