You can repeat actions to create an animated cycle. You can also repeat the last frame at the end of the stack.
Take, for example, a blinking eye. For this type of action, draw the cycle once, and repeat it as many times as needed.
This example shows a blinking eye as an animated cycle. You draw the frames once, and then repeat them.
To create a clean cycle, the beginning and ending images must be the same. For example, in an animation of a blinking eye, the eye would be open at the beginning and at the end. That way, when the end of one cycle is "hooked up" to the beginning of the next, the action continues smoothly.
