The steps I took to create my animation of myself was sketching a draft of how I would want it to look. Once I got it perfected I took a photo of the drawing and import it in adobe illustrator. After that I traced my avatar I started to color it in. while doing that I made sure each part of the avatar were seperate pieces so i'll be able to move them around when I start to animate it. The types of tools I used was the curvature tool to create the hair. Shape builder tool to created the pants, shirt and shoes. The shape builder tool helped me combine shapes into one piece. For th eyes I used Fx to give the eye more depth.

​

The most challenging part of creatin gmy avatar  was the hair because I was very precise on the detail. It was also difficult due to the sharp ends of the hair.

​

My avatar's movement contained head movement and body. More spacifically the head because i wanted my avatar to look like it was jamming to music. To active this I had to copy the art board and move the head little by little, and repeacting the steps. A way you can copy and past the artboard it holding "option" and dragging next to the previous artboard.
