Bringing My Stop Motion Movie to Life: Designing Characters and Backgrounds

Introduction :

During the week, i have been focusing on drawing my backgrounds, i have been using an app called “Ibis Paint X”.

List The Process :

I have decided i wanted to do a human life cycle so i will be needing babies, toddlers, teenagers, adults, grandparents. For the backgrounds i will be needing a hospital, daycare, primary school, high school, collage, beach and last but not least! A hospital again. I will need my buddy to do voiceovers in the video aswell!

Your Design Process In Ibis Paint X :

I have been using the brush called, “Dip Pen (HARD)” for the outlines and i traced over some images from google. I have made the drawings colorful by coloring it with the colors, Red, Orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white and mostly black for the outlines!

Reflection :

I am satisfied about how my designs look like! I like the backgrounds and how the practice runs were like.

Challenges :

The challenges i have went through with this project is that i was having to learn to use a new app, and about getting the colours right/layers.

Here are some photos of my work! :
