The finished thing can be viewed on my DeviART here: darkmanethewerewolf.deviantart.com/art/Cat-Treadmill-Also-on-Youtube-562435909

Not neccessarily a speed-draw since it took too long. Some footage of how I made the loop of "Cat Treadmill" to show how I animate things. A lot was subsequently cut out so the video wouldn't be excessively long for me drawing essentially the same thing, the most drastic cuts are where i've faded to black.

Often I plan by stages and by key frames where I will start with the legs first at extreme points and fill in a few frames between them, making sure that the 4 keys work fluidly. Next, I work with every other frame, slowly filling out the legs, tail and head (Again, starting with the extremes where the head is furthest left then furthest right), then filling how it gets from one extreme to the next. Only when these frames work do I then interpolate the remaining frames so it runs smoothly and at the speed I want it to.

Software used:
Gimp 2.6.10
Hypercam 2
Adobe Premier Pro 2.0

Left side is my drawing space only, right side is the whole screen so you can see more of what i'm actually doing.

The reason my screen is sideways is because I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet PC and turn the screen and lid sideways to draw on. In this configuration, my left hand can easily press Ctrl/shift/etc when I need to while I draw with my right.
