In our last session with Jon before Christmas we were taught how to animate in Photoshop using frame by frame animation. To make drawing our frames easier we plugged in Wacom Intuos drawing pads into the computer so that we didn't have to draw with the mouse but rather an interactive drawing pad. To make the process easier ‘Onion Skins’ were turned on so that we could see the frames from one prior and one later to help track our animation as well as tracing what had been drawn prior.
We were then told to draw the journey of a firework being set off and exploding and here is how mine came out:

And here is how my second animation came out:
