LO3: Animate Assets★

This is the duplicate tool, which allowed me to loop a set of frames. I did this for scenes where I would otherwise have to draw each frame individually, such as the scene where Petal is running and the one where Dad is dancing. This saved a lot of time because it allowed me to only have to animate the action once before I could loop it.

This is a screenshot of me sketching an image out on layer 2. I did this so that when I inked over it, it would look neater and would save me the pressure of having to freehand it. I did it on layer 2 so that I could clean up the lines on layer 3 as well as add color, and so that I could add the background to layer 1.

This is me using the copy and paste filter to copy and paste images from one layer to another. I used this for places where I only needed a slight movement, so that I could copy and paste the picture without having to draw it out all over again, which is time consuming and not ideal when working under a time constraint. It also means that the moving asset can be uniform to the previous frame.

This is a screenshot of me using the opacity tool to change the opacity of my brushes so that I could get a sheer layer of color for scenes such as Petal blushing. This was useful because it let me build up colour gradually without having to find different colours that would layer on top of each other to give me my desired effect.
