Testing out what frames will look like - using photoshop
I like the paint/water colour look of the brushes and images.
No need to animate everything, just show movement by creating two similar looking images/moving stuff around

Step by Step Process
Before going to sleep, I thought I’d try one more test run with the use of dots (influenced by Lichenstein) in the bird, just one section. This gives the bird movement without having illustrate the whole outline, making these dots will be lot easier with the use of a graphics tablet and after effects, too.
Very short, very quick test run. I’ll finish this off after I get some sleep. I’m going to look at old videos of days out tomorrow and I’d like to do something similar - but not as rough to the footage. One I know which idea i’m going ahead with I’ll create the storyboard and figure out how i’m going to convey the narrative.
I like the low quality of the images too, I added surface blur to the images in order to create this look. I really like the look of the clouds and quality of the grass. Both were brushes I created on photoshop.
Further developing my idea, I decided to give the dots one last go to see if there was any way of incorporating them to my liking. I enjoy both of these images, although after a while, I find the 2nd image a bit hard to look at. The first image is more what I had imagined my end product to look like. I’m going to start sketching storyboard/narrative ideas and then come back to digitally animating it in a day or two
I prefer the colour splashes without the dots involved with my favourite image being the largest image. In the next few days I will either find my graphics tab or borrow one from uni so i can start developing a more illustrative style - like Scarfe’s. Now that I have a specific artistic direction I want to go into, I’m going to start focusing on the narrative so I can then combined the two to create my storyboard
Experimenting with colour
Experimenting with research so far.
At the moment the narrative for my storyboard is about the adventures that my sippy cup has been on, specifically the day that I found it, broke it then left it outside. These are just test runs to see how an image would look with the dots. I decided to make my experiments as .gifs as they are moving images so I would be able to see what works even more so through doing this. So far, my favourite is the top image.
