Responsive - Cute LoopdeLoop

After making sure the motion for the bird was believable, i then began colouring in the frames. To do this i created a layer underneath the linework and used the magic wand tool to select the area i wanted to apply colour to. Then i coloured the frames on that layer.

I found this process very easy on Photoshop and will definitely be making use of this method on future projects.

Underneath is the coloured animation and the final finished animation. I got some peoples opinions of it before i thought of it as finished. The majority of feedback i got was to add some texture to the colours to give it a greater depth. I did this by adding a fur texture over the colour layer with the colour layer set to multiply. I also added some simple sound to the finished animation because i thought it could use just abit of ambient sound instead of being completely silent.

For next time i would try making the linework thinner because i think it looks fairly messy and amateur with thick linework. I would also maybe add some simple background elements to make it more interesting but not too much to take away from whats happening in the scene.

 

 

Below is my animation on the loopdeloop website for proof of submission:
