Character Development




Define myself? I'm weird, and I have certain humorous imperfections that make me who I am. For example, when it's raining on a Sunday, I get really sad. I don't really know why but I think it's because there's school the next day and it's raining so I can't go to the beach and there isn't much else to do. Another character trait I have is that when I get hungry or tired, I have a meltdown. Another thing I tend to do is when I'm walking in public, I start thinking that other people are judging the way I walk, so then I start automatically walking weird and I can't stop. I have many of these imperfections, and they make me, me.


The character traits I plan to exaggerate are the way my character walks and moves. Another character trait I plan to exaggerate is how big they smile and how happy or bubbly they are. There are many different character traits I plan to incorporate. Just kidding I can't think of any but maybe more ideas will come lol.

First step to creating a personal gif is cutting out your body. Then you animate. Puppet warp is difficult, but watching video tutorials makes it a bit easier. Animating was not my forte. Every new movement you made, you had to have made a new frame and duplicate the layer.After you're finished animating, you have to save your file as a gif. I don't really like my finished gif. I made a pretty swaggy background though. I just don't really like how it isn't super creative.
