# Nah, sort of like, each frame of the GIF is individually drawn.

# What are you asking though?
If you're working on paper, make sure the paper is thin and the drawings are thick, to give you a reference for the next frame. If you're on a computer life is a lot easier, since you make each frame a layer, and set the new layer at 50% opacity (or less) while you draw it.

Then export as an animated GIF.

I must be missing something because typing all that seems very patronising....

# It's gonna be on the computer.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm wondering if there's any tips on animation itself. Like, motion lines and stuff.

# Ah, right
Beyond me, sorry, my efforts basically go as far as "scribble and hope".

# I'm no expert, but I'd imagine studying the old masters would help
Like download some old Disney cartoons and study them frame by frame

# Hmm, good idea.
I could also potentially analyze GIFs frame by frame. ^^
