This was my final GIF i made and the longest. I had a character in mind, so i just drew onto the template and moved it layer through layer. It ended up being 39 layers, which was quite a task.
When I had finished, i didn't like that the fox didn't have a background and was just in the white square. So then i decided to add trees and grass but it looked too much so then I shortened it down to just the one tree and some grass.
The hardest part was going through frame by frame to make sure the fox didn't have any of the background in him. If I had more time i think I would have tried to colour him in, but i think that would take quite a long time and I wanted him to be consistent.
The first few times he was drawn I used a harsh brush but changing the brush softness was a turning point and it ended up being a quite playful GIF.
Using a wacom tablet was really essential to this, I think it helped my work to be more fluid and drawn looking.
