How I made GIF animations in Adobe Photoshop from a watercolor illustration
I painted this watercolor illustration of a cactus flower πΊ lady recently with Winsor and Newton’s professional watercolor.
I painted this watercolor illustration of a cactus flower πΊ lady recently with Winsor and Newton’s professional watercolor.
And suddenly an image of her hair moving around came up to my mind.
So, I couldn’t stand without animating her.
These are the final creations.
This is the workflow.
There are basically 8 steps.
I didn’t start painting this image because I was planning to animate it later so the hardest part was cutting her hair into pieces.
And I know the time frames were only 5-8 frames, so the movement is not smooth.
Also, unlike Adobe After Effects, Photoshop is not for animating, so there is no Easy Ease function to make the animation smooth and more natural.
However, even this just a super easy process of animating, I am very content with how she looks alive in the GIF!
That’s why I can’t stop loving animations!
I think I make animations for just my selfish, pure joy.
