Its a bit jittery in places, but I can try to work that out in the next few days, maybe by adding some more frames to make the movements more deliberate or by slowing the frames down?
BUT
I'm still so happy with it, and as a contrast to the digital GIF I really like the hand drawn quality, I think it emulates something more like what I've seen in Lilli Carres work where the lines look really organic if a little stuttery. I think this version of my character just has so much personality, it was easier for me to show emotion on his face using analogue media because I could change the position of his eyes and shape of his mouth really easily to correspond with what his body was doing.
So far this is the GIF method I've enjoyed so far, as I really do love the naturalness and unpredictable quality of working with analogue processes, the different textures of Ricardo's fur, and the various shades of purple I achieved with the pro marker are something I'm not sure I can emulate using digital methods yet. I also love the process of repeating the same character drawing over and over again as I feel like it means I've spent loads of time with the little guy, and I could probably draw him with my eyes closed now. But that's not to say I'm ruling out working digitally!
