Animated *wink*, Image Ready

1. I started this in Image Ready, but you can start it in photoshop and just switch to Image Ready when you're ready to do the animation.

2. You can use the same image I'm using or you can use you're own for this tutorial.


If needed Zoom (z) closer to the image.

3. Make a new layer CTRL+SHIFT+N, press (L) or click on the Lasso Tool and draw around the eye that you want to wink.

4. Click on the Eyedropper Tool or press (i) and try to match w' the same skin color. For this image the color is #E6B28D.

5. Click on the Paint Brush Tool or press (b) and try to draw around it to form a closed eye, then press CTRL+D to unselect the Lasso Tool.

6. Press "x" to switch the foreground and background colors. Then click on the Eyedropper Tool again and click on the image eyelash to try to match the color #7C675C, draw a around the bottom part.

7. Click on the lil eye and then duplicate the frame two times. Select Frame 2 and then click on the lil eye so that you can make you're wink visable. Use desired time for the frame delay. I used (.5) sec on all of them.

8. FINAL RESULT


9. You can try to do it to both eyes, just follow the same steps.
