Animated Illustrations in Photoshop: Create Unique Atmospheres

“We have come to the end of this course and I wanted to thank you for taking it! Now is the time to prepare your final project. For this, we will review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you could show me a picture of each phase of your project and add a brief explanation of what you did in each one. Search for inspiration Choose the scene you want to illustrate and make a mood board with several references that will serve as a guide in the composition step. I suggest that you already think about the elements of the illustration that you are going to animate. It is better to stick to two or three, so that this work is not too complex. Sketch First, do some research sketches for your artwork composition and select the one that you like the most.

Once done, you can switch to colors. Make a first solid color, then test different lighting (and therefore different atmospheres). You will have to choose one of these atmospheres for the rest of the project. Switch to clean Make a line drawing, more precise than your initial sketch. Specify the shapes and consolidate the perspective. Then place the local colors using different layers, making clean and crisp shapes. Finishes Use your color sketch as a reference and brighten up your image. Add details, correct imperfections, and finish it off. Animation Finally, animate the few elements of the image that you planned to move. And There you go ! I can't wait to see what you will create. Share your work with other students on the Domestika forum. Also feel free to take a look and comment on other people's projects. It's always great to get feedback from different people on your work! As for me, I promise to visit you regularly to see your creations and also to give you feedback and advice. A big thank you and see you soon!”
