Hey guys - I'm making an animation for practice and I have a character, 3/4 view with eyes as a separate bone on the head. How can I get them to blink and become small properly? I've tried scaling but it looks really odd and skews them rather than shuts them. I'm really new to spriter so this might seem dumb but I'm having trouble finding answers for my specific problem on the youtube channel or forums. Can someone help me? This is what I mean: http://1drv.ms/1W3J31M Thank you!
