Once I had designed my own character designs I then started to experiment in photoshop using the video settings. I recorded the process of how I can make a moving drawing through photoshop. I started with a simple shape and then proceeded on to drawing a running person. However, just so I could get used to the idea of making something run and how the legs work to do that, I tried it out on a stick man. I did find doing this quite tricky though because I lost track of which leg was supposed to be what. I feel that next time I would have a more solid running man to work with and make it run a little more smoothly.
