How to create an animated GIF image
Step 1: Open Scratch, paint, or any other drawing program
If you use Scratch
Step 1: Get rid of the cat and open up the paint new sprite window
Step 2: draw the first part of the animation
Step 3: Hit OK and copy the costume of what you just drew
Step 4: edit the copied one and make the needed changes
Step 5: repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have at least 3 pictures, and 10 or fewer. Shown below, I used the minimum number of pictures.
Step 6: choose a place to save your pictures. It can be your my pictures, in a scratch folder, or even in a new folder
Step 7: Save them there. Only save the costumes, not the sprite.
If you use paint
Step 1: draw your first picture
Step 2: save it.
Step 3: Make the changes you need to the first picture.
Step 4. Save it under a different name
Step 5: repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have at least 3 pictures, and 10 or less pictures.
Picasion.com
Step 1: Afterwards, you go to Picasion.com. If you can't find it, click the link-> http://picasion.com/
Step 2: Fill in the separate sections with your pictures.
Step 3(optional): Click on add one more picture until you have as many blanks as you have pictures.
NOTE: You must fill up the 3 blanks you already have, and you can only put up to 10 pictures in those blanks plus the other blanks,
that is why I keep telling you to only have up to 10 pictures, and more than 3 pictures.
Step 4(only if you did step 3): Repeat step 2 with the extra blanks.
Step 5(optional): You can change what the size and speed will be with the two categories above create animation labeled size and speed
Step 6: Click on create animation to get your GIF image.
DONE!!!
