I See Faces - Dog Catching Paper Gif

After drawing out my dog figures in fine liner from my roughs on newsprint, I scanned them in to clean them up on Photoshop and also cut them out so they were ready to put onto each of the frames. 



I used one of my rough gifs as a template so I just had to place the new image of the dog over the old rough and then delete the old ones. It was confusing trying to remember what each of the layers was for and I had some complications in figuring out which ones I needed to keep and which ones were roughs that I needed to get rid of. Once I got my head around this I got into a rhythm with it and the gif came together quite smoothly. 



This is one of my rough gifs with the new drawings of the dog in the right places. Doing it this way saved me having to measure out where each piece needed to go all over again. After deleting the roughs from the gif, I had no background so this is where I imported one of my edited mono prints as the background layer and I kept this exactly the same in every frame so that it was stationery.
