Crocodile GIFs

I've been goofing around with gifs a bit lately. Hey, I'm still in vacation mode. I'm still figuring out how to save them without losing quality. I'd hoped to make this the banner for this page, but it's not quite there yet. I'd really like it to have more of a hand drawn feel, but it got a little pixel-y. I made this on in photoshop.

This second one was cleaned up in ai, but made into a gif through photoshop. It turned out nicely!

As a kid, my dream job was to be a cartoonist. So, I'm going to relive that through my kids homeschooling, right? Of course. I think if I can figure all the tech out, the girls and I can try making hand drawn flip books, then scan them in. I'm collecting gif tutorials here.

Feel free to share any advice!
