Elizabeth is the first gif I have made so far. She's made mostly on photoshop but with a mono print background.
I started by scanning in Elizabeth from a drawing I did in the boxes. When I was making these drawings I used tracing paper to get her placement boxes, so when I scanned it into photoshop Elizabeth was more or less in the right place.
Once in photoshop i adjusted the levels so that the image was more black and I could use it as a base. I then started to colour it in.
Before long I had finished and started thinking about the background.
I decided to use my mono print from the early workshop as my background.
I scanned in the red round cicle first because I wanted it to surround the character. once I had put it in, i realised I wanted even more background.
I then copied in the blue moon and placed it in the background as well. After tweaking it for some time, the two lined up and formed the perfect back group for the character.
I went back over the character with stamp tool to make sure all the white zones that could be fixed were fixed. The only thing I would change is the small black rim in the GIF that is a result of the blue red overlap. Otherwise I'm really pleased with how Elizabeth the tea drinker turned out.
