Wht software is best and easy, for Graphics, Animation for RPG Character games

DaGreatness

I wanted to get into doing graphics myself, but i have been going around asking, what would be the best software to use and easy to make RPG characters, I know there are alot of pixel softwares out their, but i wanted to know, i would want my characters to look not so pixelated but nice and smooth which i dont think if i use a pixal animator it will accomplish. IF it can i would love some insight. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance

@DaGreatness, it depends on what you want from software like that.

I would go for one of two options:

Raster graphics -- Pixelmator, as @mounted88 said. It is great, flexible and gives you all the basic tools, plus more on top and nice effects.

Vector graphics -- Sketch. While Pixelmator can work with vectors to some degree, you just cannot compare it with Sketch. This is a really powerful tool. And vectors are non-destructively scalable, meaning you can easily generate sharp larger-size graphics from your source files.

A third option would be combining the two, creating the basic shape and color in Sketch and then rasterizing and finishing in Pixelmator.

Both tools are very reasonably priced.
