Conclusion Questions 
1. In as much detail as possible record the steps it took to create this project in Adobe illustrator. Use complete sentences.​ Try to recall as many of the different tools, shapes, and keyboard commands as possible. 

- The first thing I did before I started animating is that I tried to find a picture of myself that was easy to trace using the pen tool with stroke and then searched up a hoodie and parachute pants sketch to trace once more. Then I used the shape builder tool  to select my face to fill in the color of my skin tone, and then did the same process with the hoodie, pants, and shoes. Then, I used the selection tool to move the shapes around to the desired place I want them to be on. After I created my avatar I grouped all my traces and shapes together so they won't move during the animation process. The animation took a lot of copy and pasting, adjusting the shapes into widgets to make them look smoother and blend in with my avatars clothes. I created my animation by using multiple artboards and adjusting my avatar to jumping positions. Lastly, I exported my project into a GIF maker, and turn it into a GIF, then turned it into a PNG to be able to post on my wix page.


2. What was the most challenging part of creating your Avatar?

The most challenging part of creating my avatar was mainly the whole process because I had to be very careful with adjusting my avatar during the animation process, and especially when creating the avatar before animating. 


3. What ways did you move the arms and legs to create movement? Did your Avatar move like you wanted it to? 

- I made my arms and legs do a jumping motion. My avatar moved the way I wanted it to do. 


I created movement by Adjusting my avatars arms and legs.


4. Are there any improvements you would make next time? Why or why not?

- Maybe a little bit of improvements but it is not guaranteed, as I really found this project very stressful and would want to move on a different project. My honest opinion on this project is that I would not want to do it again as it got very intimidating towards the end.
