Adobe Animate

Adobe Animate 

I'm finding using this program actually pretty difficult. It's confusing to me because its very similar to Photoshop. We were told to create a cat or dog. Below you can see the cat I drew, I wanted to keep it simple because It will make animating it easier. I found the drawing part quite easy because it was just like using Photoshop, I clicked on the pen tool and free handed the cat. 

Here you can see my finished animated cat gif. I struggled to animate because I wasn't familiar with the software. I planned to animate a cat walking, I used the 'bone tool' to do this by selecting certain pivot points and articulating the motions. I still really struggle using this tool as you can see, he isn't walking he's pushing himself on a skate board.
