I use Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady CS - the best grahics program out there, which is the one that all the professionals use. I don't think that if I studied for YEARS that I could ever learn everything that program has to offer.
For the animation, I use solely ImageReady CS and to be honest I don't think it's all that hard. It's a complicated process that once you memorize, it's the same every time. Kinda like making a movie. Every movie is different but the process is the same. My animations have frames, every time you see a movement in your avatar it's a different frame. Some avatars on here have taken me over an hour! It all depends on how many characters I use for the name and how many pictures it takes to reach the set YT byte (graphics) limit.
Now I'm making it sound more complicated than it is. I love learning, though....and it's rewarding to me to see everyone enjoying their avatar so much, for me knowing I made it and help people enjoy YT as much as I do.
I think we all enjoy showing off our babies and if we have a fun avatar, it's a way to show off our baby in every single post we make on here, and that's sooo neat.
I found a decent tutorial on how to make small animations, if you have the program and would like to learn. Feel free to PM me.
