Want to learn how to create fun GIFs in Adobe Photoshop? Join us and learn how to export drawings or images from Photoshop layers and turn them into animated GIFs! Follow these steps below: rep your project: 1. Download practice files (). Or, create your own! a. Use the practice files: Download the practice files which include 10 variations of a skull drawing. b. Create your own: Use the Brush tool in Photoshop to create variations of a drawing on separate layers. Include detail to show changes in ““movement““ of each drawing. 2. Import drawing variations into one Photoshop document: Open all of the drawing files and make the first drawing (e.g., skull_Layer ) the active document. Click the tab of the second open drawing file, Select All, Copy, make the first drawing file active, and Paste. Repeat for each drawing file.
