Now, if I rotate my view around, you can see that my monkey is actually a 3D shape. If I come over to the outliner, you can see I have a stroke object, that's what we initially started with even though it's blank, and Susane our pre-drawn monkey for us. And because it's an object I can come over here into grease pencil, switch to dope sheet, and move this object around, rotate it, hit s, and set key frames. So let's go ahead and do that. Let's hit I, location, rotation, scale, and let's go to about 100 and we can rotate this monkey, then hit g to move it around, and then hit i, and set another key frame.
