Animated Elephant

This is an animated elephant. My very first try of creating animated illustration.

Tutorial to Create an Animated Image
**********************************
1. First of all, get an image that you want it to be animated. I drew the elephant on a piece of paper before I captured the image using a camera. After that, the image was outlined and colored using Adobe Illustrator.

2. Create two different view of the elephant so that you can see it animated in the scene later on. Save them as two different images.

3. Using Adobe Photoshop, go to Window ->Animation. Now, a new animation frames can be seen at the bottom of the Window. Open both of the images in the window.

4. In the Animation Window, click at the small arrow on the right. Choose "Makes Frames from Layers". With this, an animation will be automatically created depending of the number of layers available.

5. Select the delay time for each of the frames created.
