I also have been working on animating robots lately too. Now the two ideas are coming together. At first I started thinking about making a portrait then trying to make it move through redrawing it in stages using the Brushes App. You can see below that I redrew the eyes by moving the irises and making them blink. These drawn, saved as steps, and complied in EZGIF.com to make an animated GIF.
Love how you can modify the KeyNote Drawing using paint in Photoshop Fix for blink & open smile (hadn’t tried that), then use liquify options scaled down to finely adjust facial expressions like cross frown. pic.twitter.com/ZN2hOawSlr

I loaded the Keynote drawing into the Photoshop Fix app and saved it (just in case the format changed. All images have to have the exact sizes to blend nicely as a GIF.

This is where I can adjust the speed, crop, and duplicate frames to customize the GIF.
The Blink
When I first started trying to animate my portrait I was using the Brushes app to redraw only the eyes. I thought it would be the most effective and easy feature to move in a portrait. So, I erased and redrew each stage of this animation, saved it to the camera roll and used EZGIF to make the animation.
