Learning to Animate Simply - Portrait of @yusaymon - Art - MusicsteemCreated with Sketch.

My eyes are melting... but I did it. I used an Animator phone app to learn how to make a piece of art, in honour of this awesome person: @yusaymon

Where it started:
Ok so I was having steemit-withdrawl because the heartwarmingly special 'songwriters challenge' ended. And there's just so much cool art happening on steemit right now. (Including yusaymon's) I commented on an art piece he did a month ago which had vividly stuck in my mind:
https://steemit.com/collaborativeartjourney/@yusaymon/dreams-of-existense-artwork-and-fiction-story-collaborative-art-journey-aspects-of-existence-no-30#
and I found he had resteemed my recent song with The Post-Beat Steem Band. With @basilmarples and @ewanduffus:

He also replied saying he had added my song 'Sweet Farewell' to his playlist. What a legend!

This was fast curing my withdrawl symptoms.
Also I have been wondering just how to introduce myself in a post. So I downloaded an Animator app, and set about making a couple of fairly terrible testers using some recent pics:

I have no idea why my tongue is flashing.

Then I found this feature where you can record something and it captures some of the details (in this case, the face). I added the hair/head shape and colours:

I was starting to enjoy the possibilities of simple animation. It made me remember this picture with that awesome hairdo:

Cool pic right? Screenshot done. Then I traced it using my fingers on the touchscreen (no tools):

Then I went a bit crazy trying to make some kind of hair-blowing-in-the-wind-effect... it got messy:

I thought some banging music/drums might go with that.

Eventually I realised that less is more... 2 to be precise. 2 frames is all you need. Maybe next time this knowledge will keep my eyeballs from falling out.

Anyway thats what I did this evening.
Keep it Crispy guys.
