i enrolled in this class along side Mimi Chao's Make Your Own Chat Stickers! A Character Design and Vector Coloring Exercise.  I used this class to work through the XCode and to see how to animate the stickers. Thank you Jesse.

Here's my concept and description:

Lula Mae says it all! Just like you, Lula has the heart of a fun girl and keeps it real.

Quickly communicate with the girl who speaks your mind! Let this cute and sassy sistah express what words just can’t punctuate.

Lula’s playful personality enlivens daily text threads with a sticker pack of 50 stickers and animations!

-18 illustrations that celebrate, support and affirm your sister friends, from coffee and prayer breaks, to wine time!

9 emoji style faces to give the “side-eye” or gentle smirk response

13 quirky and everyday quips to let your sister friends know “wassup”

16 animated illustrations to send love and touch points throughout your day

 

 

Here are some sketches of the stickers I wanted to animate.

 

Here's how I set up a couple in Illustrator. i handlettered my own font.

 

The process to upload to Apple App Store was fairly involved, but I did it!  Thank you Jesse for your insights in the class.
