how i create a gif:
i make a layer in paint tool sai for the first movement/drawing. and i draw it!
when it is done, i put that layer on opacity 40% and then i make a layer over top and draw over it and change it a bit.
i change back that layer to 100% and then turn it off.
i then put the new layer i made at 40% and draw again.
if i have an unmoving element, like text or a background, i make that layer and then copy and paste it into every single layer.
then once i am done, i put it all in photoshop and export it as a gif.
