another stupid .gif (and other things as well!)

I got photoshop recently (it was...kind of an ordeal but I'm happy I have it) so I've been using it for things.   It's pretty fun, but I need to figure out a way to make my own gifs without using some stupid internet website.

I've done a lot of studies and weird doodles (and some good pictures here and there) so I'll put 'em here in case anyone wants to take a gander at them.  Critiques are always welcome here, too, so please don't feel shy in commenting if something looks strange.
