I have been working on some GIF's for my website and social media. Adding moving parts to illustrations even something as small as eyes blinking or looking left to right draws the eye, especially when part of a gallery surrounded by stationary images. I think that straight away the gallery section of my website looks much more appealing and engaging. Using movement also gives me more options for demonstrating character, emotion and narrative, bringing my characters to life could make them more appealing to clients, publishers and agents. Developing new skills can also benefit my practice massively, I am only starting out learning animation but when I become proficient at it I can complete a wider range of jobs. I am seeing animated illustrations used for advertising and marketing more and more so if I am able to do both I will make myself a more appealing option for clients rather than having to pay an illustrator and an animator to complete a project. I am going to continue working on animating more of my illustrations. I already have ideas for some more complex animations that I am not skilled enough to make yet but I want to use those ideas as a target to push me forward.
