Animated GIF Illustration


Description: Three illustrations about note-taking, modified and made into a gif animation.

Brief: The goal was to create a visually stunning animated GIF illustration for a blog article that would not be too distracting to the reading of the article. The topic of the article was note-taking for artists.

Technique: The sketches were done in pencil, then traced and colored in Adobe Photoshop. Each moving part was put on a separate layer, and all the layers were imported into Adobe After Effects, where everything was animated.

Year: 2023

Estimated time for completion: Approximately one to three days per GIF illustration, depending on the complexity of the animation.
