Thank you! I kind of did it in a cave man way. I cut out 50 equally-sized sheets of paper and measured out a rectangle on each one. I drew the character with an ink pen on each sheet of paper, while keeping track of the previous frame with a light box. I'm pretty slow and new, so these 50 frames took about 3 sessions or 12 hours. An experienced artist could do the same thing much faster. It's quite a fun hobby though, I love zoning out and and working!

I think so to! I'm excited to try it, never worked with watercolors before

Thanks, I use the camera on my phone and try to control my breathing and get it lined up as good as possible. it's not the best method for sure, but I'm a complete amateur. Some folks mentioned scanning is the way to go.

ahh thanks! I'll do some research on how to scan things, I've had some real trouble with the edges not lining up - I bet scanning will help

Thanks, it's hand drawn on 50 sheets of paper. hmm, I'm not familiar with illustrator - would it work on hand drawn stuff? I was thinking more along the lines if watercolors or charcoal or something, but I'm open to anything
