There are quite a few free abs available. Personally, I think Camp scanner give a good result seem as a real scanner. Don't use all to enhance hman to avoid loss of details. When capture your illustrations, try to get it straight and as close as 90 degree. With that the apple, we need to do many more distortion on the image. Taken captured illustration In an evenly late environment to a white shadows on the illustration. A good sample of scanned image should be even late, not too broad or too dark. The details of breast stroke and paper texture, app reserve Also, the contrast of the result is close to your illustration. It is okay to be darker.

Click one time to feel we won't see the failed result on the main screen but a layer mask. Tommy shows the result. Remember, the white area is visible body like maybe see that that means any adjustment will make on this layer. We only affect the white area. Sean in the Layer Mosque on Selectively Amar Stomil This time, click on the image time. Now, instead, we are going to address brightness off this layer. Click control L to bring out the levels auction box. If I darken it a lot, you can see the affected area. Is Esper the previous election to balance off the explosion on this image, we just need to slightly brighter now. The shaded neighbor this time only moved the middle point.

Here are two convenient Shakaki's for navigation one. Press control zero to feed your will to the window to press control. Alternate zero to zoom in 200% 6. Decide What to Animate: first and foremost, we need to know what enemy before we proceed to dies. The illustration into pieces. Here are four points to get you through the thinking number one Things I can be bent to move or Street, for example, plans close and strings number two things that move into the position rotation and change insights in this class of only cover moving in position and minimal rotation. For example, convey about Pin bill. It's not bubble or a sleeping cat man. It breathe in and out. Number three things that appear and disappear. It has to disappear in order to make a looking animation one capacity, which means the transparency to the scale, which means the size and three We can have something moved in front of the subject, covered the subject entirely, then moved away days we called it Y animation. We can also have the subject, comes up and goes behind something in this class have only show how to enemy the cat camps out from behind a wall and then disappears behind another wall, for example, began any made transparency off soap bubbles or the sizes offer popping mushroom and a shy cat go behind curtain number four things that changes in color and brightness, for example, the flickering lanterns and lightbox traffic light that changes color and offense in your own sites. Here's a summary off the previous point. One additional point is to consider the animation time planning movements or action. They only take 1 to 2 seconds in one cycle. 7. Prepare Your Image for Animation Pt1: now the digitized illustration is nice and clean. We're going to make it usable for animation back in for the shop. This time, we will reduce the image size for automation markdown, water me, cut out moving objects, cut out overlapping objects revealed overlapped area and create a clean background plate. In this lesson, we will cover the 1st 3 reason, or reducing the image. Size is to optimize the working experience because big foul size will slow down a computer . Open the cleaned up in age. We did previously price control out in that I to bring up the image size option but said the resolution to 72 pixels. It is distended resolution for the majors, then said the height 2000 and 80 pixels the height over HD video. Click OK to apply the image size instantly, the image became much smaller. You can press control Alternate zero to view the image at 100%. Next, you can start marking down what me to be animated and to be cut out as individual pieces. T stop. It's not necessary. Become time this in your mind. Anyway, I'm showing what I want made in this painting. First I will animate these plants waving in the wind. Not that I grew up some grass leaves on the left, out of separating. Each of them gives the most real estate result, but the differences are subtle, so I decided to reduce my workload by grouping them as one second group. Off objects are the cloth curtains, and third group is the beetle and a cat that come up from the pillar and walk inside the shop. In order for the cat to appear and disappear, I will have to cut out the pillar and the wall behind to most of the time. We were missed out a few objects or parts that need to be cut out, but that it's okay. You can always come back to these Photoshopped file to make changes and create the additional pieces. 8. Prepare Your Image for Animation Pt2: in this part to video of a color. These topics first duplicate the original year name made to be okay. You can also press control J to duplicate. Name the second a K grass one salata duplicated layer named grass. One. Use lasso tool to select the object you want to enemy. Just make a rough one first with the grass one The year selected. Click on early amassed Hi other layers. The black part off Liam Mosque is transparent. Now you can hold down out in it and click on the layer mass. Tom you to switch to lay a mosque. Review out on that click again on the layer mask cameo to switch back to normal purview. Fred New layer. Have it below the grass. One layer. Feel the color on this new layer. Brief pain bucket, too. This color layer is to help us see better urine cleaner. Make sure the layer mask home. New is selected. Select brush tool, make foreground color play and start painting away. The unwanted parts benefit off. Using Leah Mosque is allow us to recover mistakes easily. Just paint with white color to recover.

If you turned back on the background the year we can see that left side off the grass, it's not crossing with any objects. It means the left side don't need precise cleaning. However, try to make more trimming around that brief lasso tool. Now one down and a lot more to clean. Repeat the process. One. Duplicate the original layer renamed it to make a rough selection around the object and apply Liam. Ask priest the selection. Use brushes and last little to delete and clean away the excess parts 9. Prepare Your Image for Animation Pt3: in this part. Three video of a koala. These topics now that we have each moving object cutout, we also need to carry out any object that is in front, off thes moving objects. The cutter process is similar is before. Since the overlapping objects are not moving, you can have them all in one layer, so I will make multi selection on this one. New layer. Use lasso tool to make selection. After the first selection, hold down shaved for click and drag. To make another selection, we will notice there is a small class sign beside the last two when you hold down shift tu minus off some selected saviors. Hold on out of the key to click and drag around the area you want to de select once you are happy with the selection. Creatively a mosque on a new layer. Hold on out on a key and click on the I icon beside the image layer to solo it in the canvas. Turn on the great color layer to have a better look at the card. A result if you want to add minus any parts. Select a layer mask. Cameo makes election off your desired area, then fill the selected area with white or black using paint bucket to next week, um, percent to do final cleanup on this layer we've rushed to with the Liam most harm your selected pain with black to clean the ages carefully as this ages are intersecting the moving objects behind them. The overlapping areas that we cut out now should be covering a big area because the objects behind will need more space. When they move, there's another tea for easy reviewing off a layer mask. Result. Shifting the Liam as Tom you to disable the Leah Maass with these talk option. You can't constantly compare your current results with the original painting. 10. Prepare Your Image for Animation Pt4: in this part for video about color. These topics have you done cutting out all elements. Next up is to check each and every cut up piece to see if there's any unwanted content. Need to be covered up for they sleep. We need to cover up the beetle. First, make a tight selection around the beetle, then press shift F five to bring out fail option box. But he fought Content Aware is selected in the content. I don't need to tweak any setting. Just click OK, well at the beetle is now replaced by the green texture around it. You know opinion dysfunction usually create a near perfect retouch. Some other defects can be retouched by minimal brush painting. When using content over feel, it works best to remove things Neha, mom or talk a so faceoff, consistent texture. For example, wires in this guy pluck on the wall, and it's that are as long as that object is surrounded by the same color or the same texture, I believe you have already familiar yourself. We've Kohnstamm toe now. Look at least another leaf covered by poll. The country first, we've content aware feel the pole is instantly replaced by the green texture. It works great because this is a month outlier. The data outside this leaf is preserved. The content of F. U is able to get color information from Abia outside of this leaf. However, the feeling still those quite unnatural. For this case, if we use a brush, the repaint it is difficult to recreate the paper texture closed until, on the other hand, helps the pain on similar texture and with more control. Compared to content aware fill, we can deliberately teachers which part off texture to use to cover out the defects. Abra. Sometimes we have to repaint some small details in outlying with brush tool. We try to modify as much with the previous methods, such as content of a few and clone stamp tool. On a bigger scale, retouch brutal will only be used to add in small details. This cloth is covered by arc. If your competitive with the original, you shouldn't notice that I have kept a big part of it, which is hidden behind the art. It is to prevent a book and cloth or having gaps appear between the club and the wall due to insufficient life. first, I use content aware field to cover up the art with cloth texture. I noticed my selection is not a burger shadow. Bottom age it is to keep the shop ages. Then I need to duck in top with the same selection on Christ control you to bring up the hue and saturation option box addressed the Hughes lighter to match the shadow tone, which is a bit reddish. Then golden likeness later called for the left to make. It s start as the shadow below. We adjust the hue to have a closer match. Then the cetera ate a big pulling saturation slider to the left. We need it. For some cases, you can add further ages to the selection before you make any color adjustment something, use a closed them or brush toe to make final touch up. Whenever the moving objects is intersect by some foreground elements, we should extend the parts that are heated as those parts were show. When it starts moving, use crimes damn to paint out exam the parts when a texture gets via a blurry pain in details, using brush to when you're done retouching and rebuilding the elements try to move or rotate the elements. As for how they will be animated with overlapping foreground later on, we can check when the item most does. It has enough surface or enough space to show press control tea for free transformation in for shop, we can skill, rotate and moved. Item. Go back to retouch or extend more, but needed. 11. Prepare Your Image for Animation Pt5: in this part. Five video of a color. These topics and last selloff prepping illustration for animation is to remove all moving objects from the background plate. A background plate is a base layer that is not gonna be animated. We will use the same set of tools first, use content of I feel to clean away as many objects as possible. Second use clones them toe to clean up the ages that use brushed through to pin in details and outline. - While cleaning the background plate, we will need to repaint and abuse as well. Two steps clone stamping and minimal brush painting. So here is a clean background plate that is, without any object that moves next up. We are finally bringing all materials into after effects. 12. Import Photoshop File Into After Effects: in this lesson about color these topics no aftereffects. We often need to bring in many items. Follow arrangement. It's very important for smooth workflow. Here is my way off. Managing a folder wants to get the idea became customized, one that suits your workflow on the project panel. Click on the photo I can't below to create a new photo press. Enter another to rename it first Voter Is cop to keep all composition. Composition is a container that stores layers of video, audio and etcetera. You can see it as one separate movie project. Next Further is pretty calm to store the subsequent compositions in the main cop, pull the further out from the com for them when you click at for the for selecting a folder , the new folder will be created inside the selected folder. To avoid that, click away toe Un. Select any photo before you click at noon for the Resource folder. Any video image and audio that will be using the animation, including a photo shop foul. We have a pet earlier with Days Resource for the selected go to menu file Import, Select foul or simply press control are too important. Fall select a photo. Shall we have a pet and click import? Make sure the import kind is composition and quick. Okay, you will see a composition is created. The's icon means this is a composition. It comes with the holder we've seen Founding inside the folder is all the layers one before the shop. If you import the foreshore file as footage, it will appear as one for the shop image. Everything iss much. We don't want that. Go to the bottom and quick to it. Double click on the composition. It will open up in the timeline panel. Samos Photoshopped Press Space Bar to move up and down the timeline. Uncheck the I icon the height layer or check the DOT column to solo the layer. You know the preview panel. There is a button to Targo. Transparency. Quit. Uncheck the dot column toe. Undo solo view back to project panel. Selected My last composition. Go to menu foul. Dedicate a press controlled E. Remember these short cut key as even need these action frequently move the duplicated calm into the com folder, while the rest move into a resource folder. The name that you get that one into Maine called double click on it to open it in timeline panel under attack Icon can choose Akal Attack It will reflect on the timeline as well. At some point, there might have multiple compositions opened in the timeline call attack. Allow us to navigate mean calm easily. Next, set the composition setting. Go to menu composition, composition setting, check the width and height. I'm gonna make it a square video, so ever change the way 2000 and 80 picks off. Check the frame rate. I will keep it as 25 frames per second. Next column is the duration. You can set the frame second minute and our lastly, the background color Click on it like a desired color. I'm keeping the default black first, the latest two layers us we will not use for animation. Just select impressed. Delete. I'm going to remove the brown frame. Select the original ear. Go to toolbar on top, select rectangle to when the leery selected by tango you create will end like a mosque. Only what's inside the rectangle will be visible, click and drag to make the shape the rectangle. Wolves, now to the guidelines. Once done, go to many view clear guides choose to move toe with the leader selected. You can still address the moms by drinking on each point. Next, I would create a background go to menu layer. New select solid solid is a color layer can set the size and color, but before he follows the comb size, now move it to the most bottom. Next I was killed. These illustrations are the touch of top and bottom H. To do that, I will need to connect all layers to the original In A we use parent tool to parents char layers to parrot layer. Select all in the years except origin. Oh, see the koi icon. Click on any of it and direct to pull out to weep, drag them point to the target layer, then release now. Any transformation on this parent lier will affect the child layers. Press s to bring out skill property pointed a features a two headed aero appear, click and drag 11 right to adjust. You can mental again. The number two one important. Always remember the safe your file. Every now and then, it's a good happy to save in staggered versions for safety. Let's certain background color. Select the solid layer created earlier Goto effects and precise panel on the right top in field is a puck into feel color on the entire lier. Select and drag on top off the layer and released. Apply on the left and effect control panel. Appear sure is the something off the field. Plucking. Click on the color picker. Go to the painting to select the pill. Agree Now I see the mosque ing on the image. It's not good. I can still see some dark lying at the age. Go back to the original layer that I know named it base selected with the layer selected a bounding box appear. Make sure move toe, select a click and drag the point. I address the mosque. Make sure to points are selected by holding shift to maintain the straight line. Once done, rename the solid lier to background. Now the A project is well prepared and organized. Next up, we will learn how to animate objects by bending them 13. Bending/ Waving Objects Pt1 | Grass: in this pot. One video IBO color These topics. Let's start with the grass on the left. Select grass one you will find. The anchor point is that the needle anchor point is a transformation center transformation , centuries rotation and skill, AKA around it. You should always set the anchor point before you begin animating to move the anchor point . Go to the tool panel on top. Select the pan behind, too. Check that the grass one layer is selected quick on the anchor point at the centre. Dreck it to the base off grass one go to effect. Present panel typing Ben Select CC, but make sure grass one layer is selected. Double click on the C C. Bennett. To apply the effect on the left, you will see they fax control first thing.

Click one time to set this. That point next is to set the endpoint. Put it at the top off the grass. You may see that the top part off the grass. Come back and do direct the endpoint higher. If the image is still cropped now you can test the bends lighter. You may adjust the start and end point. If the bending looks were reset it to zero. Click on a stopwatch to set a key frame. We should be at a start off timeline at a first real quick on the triangle to expand the properties CC bend it if it who appear in the least, Click on next, try and go to expend. You will find more properties a day and the key friend that you have just set on one second drag on the number to create a slight bend towards right. A key frame is created automatically onto a second bent slightly to the left at tree. Second set it to zero, which is the same as the study, apparently animation to end a trees again and look from the start with the time indicator at the 32nd press end to set the render area, go to the preview panel click to expand. You can click the play button or press space bar, as indicated here to preview what animation, said the resolution to full. Let's have a preview. Let's clear the guidelines. Go to view. Clear Good night's Go back to timeline. So, like all key friends, hover your cursor over one off a key frame, right Quick, go to Key Frame assistant Select. Easy is See the key frame icon Changed Disease gives a gradual studying and ending motion that make that mission look smoother. I just a band amount a few times. Once the animation looks good in preview, move the key frames, so they looked last uniforms. You can also add new key friends in between. Just make sure the end and start key fame has the same value. Repeat the same process for on that aggress, adjust and appoint. Apply CC bended address. Start an endpoint sat bending key frames here city. To speed out the animation process, copy the key friends from grass one and place it on grass to select all the key frames. Press control See To copy, select grass to layer, place the time indicator at a starting from press control V to paste key frames, then shift the key friends so that the second grass do not follow the 1st 1 Exactly. Next. Modify the values make it slightly different from the first crest, continuing to shape the key frames and modify the values until the result looks good. Do the same for all the other grass. For the Leafs on the right, we will use the same animation that that using cc bend it. 14. Bending/ Waving Objects Pt2 | Leaves: in this part to video about color these topics. Now the grass animations are done. Select all four of them. Change the call Attacks on the left Color tags are useful for layers management. Next, let's start animating the leave with the beetle. Only way need to parent Be Toto the leaf. Select a beetle later, Pickwick it to the leaf. Now the beetle is parent to leave. People follow the leaf. Let's undo that first set anchor point repent behind tool. Second applies to see by that. That said, the start and endpoint. See the crop. Just drag the endpoint further away, said a key frame at a band slider. Now press you to break now. Any key friends that are in this layer bring the time indicator to the and free, which is at a 32nd click on the diamond icon here. To create a key frame at current value in this case is the same value as the first frame. Go ahead and set a few more key friends how we do it on the grass, but this time you will add in rotation as well. Press are to bring out rotation Property, said the first and last cave, then continue with the in betweens. Once the key frames are set, select all key frames. My click on one off key frame and apply Easy East. Check the preview, make adjustment and repeat on their satisfied. Now move on to second Leaf. Repeat all these steps when on the steps are done, simply copy the properties from the first leave by clicking on the properties names. Then select the second leave layer properties priced Contrave to pay solve properties, which are the ben amount and the rotation valleys. Start shifting the key frames, timing and values. Repeat. Same set off steps until leave 10. Next up, we will animate the call using turbulent displace. 15. Bending/ Waving Objects Pt3 | Cloth: in this part. Three video about color These topics All the greens are done. Move on to the coughs. Press control plus sign on minus eyeing to zoom in and out off a composition window. Press space bar to move around. Select Club won the wider banner go to effect and preset panel typing. Turbulent, select, turbulent displace.
