Share your sketch or your finished animation!

Follow Abbey's process to create a colorful character moving through a scene. Sketch each element in Photoshop, animate your character, then hop into After Effects to put it all together.

Some questions to consider along the way:

What scene do you have planned? Which elements will be in the foreground, middle ground, and background layers?
How will your character move through your scene?
How will you use color to create contrast between your character and background?

No matter where you are in the process, share your work! We'd love to see your initial sketch, your color comp, your character animation, and (of course) your final GIF.
