I love producing the backgrounds and I like how they turned out at the end. I use brush tool mainly and some filters in photoshop to make it more watercolour looking. To fit the topic, I use cold colour but a pitch of red in the woods in order to make it more natural looking.
I have learnt to use clipping masks to draw on the area I want which is very convenient and speed up the working time a lot . I also learnt to start with a darker colour first then work the colour from dark to light which allows more depth and save time when layering colours on top of each other. But I do not know what to add on the ground and it seems a bit too blank. From the snow white background reference, there are rocks and chopped tree which I do not want to be included in my animation so I add a layer of watercolour texture instead which make the ground more grass like and texturised.
I like the truck very much! Studying from real pictures really help to draw more realistically.
I am very impressed with the transformation from line work to the final outcome. I think my digital painting skill has improved and it also allows me to use gradient colour to show the depth of the environment.
Studying from reference, it is a good way of showing depth by having some light penetrates the trees from the back to the front. It not only allow a sense of distance within the illustration but also a feel of mysterious of the forest.
At this point, I need to finish colouring the animation and then it is finished. I do not think music at this stage is needed since it is only a part of the animation. It is very hard to choose a specific music for only one part of the animation whereas it is the only product I am producing. Might be at the future when this is completely finished, it deserves a background music.
I also try so hard to make consistent quality of line which took me a lot of time doing so, but in schedule wise, I am very up to date and ready to finish the animation and the blogs for submission this week.
