This project was the second animated gif that I made on my own. We made one as a class and after we had finished that, we worked on one on our own for practice. Once we had the idea of how to make an animated gif, we started working on this project, the animated avatar. I chose to try to make an animal that wouldn't be very difficult to draw. Once I decided on my animal, a ferret, I started drawing one using fireworks. First, i drew it with one of its feet facing out and in the next cell with the other. Once i had the first two frames of the ferret made, I made each cell with it moving slightly more each time alternating which position of its feet I used.
