*Sigh* There are a few assignments or tasks you get at school/ college/ university that make you feel really depressed and uninspired, they seem like huge unconquerable obstacles that want you to fail. The first time this happened was in primary school during fractions- i was so bad at fractions. The second time was in secondary school where we had to take an exam in French and were expected to speak for over three minutes fluently - luckily i got the two easiest topics to talk about. The third time was in Sixth Form in Film Studies during a micro-essay on Kill Bill, where we had to analyse everything in a thirty second clip and write five pages on it - I actually did well on this one but the assignment seemed huge. And the fourth time is this assignment: The Message. However, this assignment isn't going to do itself and there is no point in just putting it off so i better get started.
I decided recently that i wanted my animation to have a hand drawn, simple look, but as it has to be a digital animation, i will have to settle for a hand coloured look instead. So i scribbled the basic colours down with a pencil crayon and scanned them.
I then selected, copied and pasted each colour individually in photoshop to get a full block of colour that i can use later on to colour my flash animation. Here are the colours in more detail, i think this will look pretty good when it is added to my drawings, hopefully it turn out ok and doesn't look like a hot mess at the end of the assignment.
I particularly like the orange as i added small circles in it, this is because my character has curly ginger hair and this will hopefully translate from the JPEG to the actual animation. I also like the texture of the purple as it is different to the other colours which is good as this is the colour of the dress which needs to stand out from the background.
