GIFS and Loops such as the one in the video above are great ways to showcase short, repeating animations. Both video clips or series of still images can be combined into the GIF format. These can provide opportunities for artists to demonstrate specific animation techniques, or just enhance an illustration. In the past I've incorporated pre-existing GIFs into my digital drawings, included below. This is another example of art being expressed through digital formatting. I consider videos such as this one to be a major inspiration.
