Baby's first animation! (Patreon)

I had this super talented Girl Scout in the comics workshop I taught last weekend, and she showed me a short animation she made (this is for some meme that I don't get because old, but check out the rest of her work, too, I love her characters!). 

I asked her what she used to animate it, she told me about FlipaClip, I realized it was free and downloaded it immediately, and in about 24 hours I made this! Pip really does love to eat butterflies, little jerk.

I started off drawing and re-drawing and re-drawing the same pose for Pip for each frame at first, and it wasn't until he sits there blinking & digesting his fluttery meal that I realized you can copy & paste a frame (you can tell I copied & pasted Pip for that second or two, because his body doesn't move at all).

This was the perfect exercise to indulge in during Art Night because it's a lot of repetition, so I think you'll see more of these in the future. :) Let me know if you have any trouble viewing it, I'm new at this!
