A couple of days ago, I randomly said to myself, "I want to start animating again even though I have lots of other things I should probably be doing instead!" So I ended up staying up at midnight yesterday and tonight making this little animation. I'd say it was worth my time since it was fun to do. Honestly, animation is a lot more fun to do than flat drawings (or I have more patience with animation than I do with flat drawings, at least).

This is my first colored animation, I think? Adding color is really annoying since I'm using Medibang Paint Pro to animate (I don't have an actual animation program), so I have to use layers for the frames and stuff, and there was a lot of coloring on separate layers and then merging the layers, and THEN I had to save each individual frame as a PNG file, sooo... I also had to use This Website to put it together, so that may have lowered the quality a bunch - sorry about that. Animating with an art program is kinda tedious, but it's better than nothing, lol.

Anyway, I wanted to animate a relatively simple movement, but nothing super simple like hair blowing in the wind. So yeah. I'm really happy with how this turned out! It's not super smooth because I was too lazy to add a whole bunch of frames, but I still think it looks okay. The facial expression and the little hair bounce was fun to do. :3

By the way, I would love to hear constructive criticism since I'm still really new to animation and don't know much yet! So if you have any suggestions or anything, please let me know!
