Character Development

There are many different ways to define me. I am unique, funny and that person who you can talk to and trust. One reason why I say I'm unique is because, everyone is different. No one is perfect and no one is un-perfect, we are who we are. I say I'm funny because, I make a lot of my friends laugh whenever I can. They also tell me that I'm funny :D. You can also trust me for various things. Another way to define me is clumsy. I have a lot of imperfections, everyone does. Such as me tripping over almost everything xD. One relatable one is I can't fix my bed perfectly. In the morning when I have to fix my bed, I feel like the sheets are just too heavy to lift up and it feels like it's gonna take forever to fix it. Another relatable imperfection is brushing your hair. Sometimes my hair doesn't want to cooperate with me and just wants to stay down. When I try to brush my hair, sometimes the brush catches some of my bangs and it just  messes up everything about my hair. Same thing happens when I try to put my hair in a bun or ponytail. I think these imperfections are somewhat relatable :) 

I don't really plan to add much traits to my animation of myself honestly. I plan to add the main traits about me like how I'm very weird or how I'm funny. I could also be sociable and happy. I could do this and add all of these by simply the way my character acts. Maybe I can make myself talk a lot and, just that person who wants to talk and meet everyone. I could make myself very clumsy, like I am 24/7, and trip over a lot of things in the path. There are many traits about me and I could put all of those traits into my character. The only problem is, its might take a while to put all those traits into my character. 

The step-by-step process of creating my GIF is kind of confusing to me. First you have to crop it the correct way. If you don't and, it ends up being 640 in by 720 in when it's suppose to be pixels... Your PhotoShop might crash. So, your have to make sure you put pixels and not inches. To be honest, I don't really enjoy making a GIF animated character because, it's very hard and confusing. After you make it the right size, you have to start animating. Honestly, the animating part was actually pretty easy. The only hard and confusing parts about making my GIF was everything else, even putting in the background.
