help for a fellow poc gifmaker!

  • hi guys! i’ve been trying to get back to giffing, even with the busy days i’ve been having due to uni and just, gaining motivation slowly. i have decided to open commissions on my ko-fi page, because i thought this would be a chance to earn a little if possible and sustain myself a little bit. please feel free to buy me a coffee and support me! i am yet to decide regarding the specifics of commissions, however i think i will definitely do something like creating gifsets with some gfx exclusively tailored to the person, create headers and icons!

    i post my gifs on this blog ( @fawad-khan ) and @kiimtaehyung !

    again, any help and boosts to the post are always appreciated <3

    With you on my arm, the world will believe I have finally found
    my Duchess. Every presumptuous mother in town will leave me alone. And every suitor will be looking at you. You must know men are always interested in a woman if they believe another, particularly a Duke, to be interested as well. I presume [Lady Whistledown] will deem us precisely what we are: Me, unavailable. Youโ€ฆdesirable

    You know, when you're young you think that everybody out there really, really gets you. But, you know, actually, only a handful of them do. All the people who like you, despite your faults. And then if you discard them, they will never come back. So, when you meet those people you should just hold on to them. Really, really tightly. And don't let them go.

    Coloring anon here, yes, I would definitely like to know more about how you color frame by frame and the other techniques you mentioned! It would be much appreciated, thank you!

  • answered:

    Hi anon! Iโ€™d be happy to go over my preferred methods for colouring!

    First resort (ideal):

    • Painting over shots with little movement (the first method in this tutorial)
    • Colour manipulation using selective colours (the second method in this tutorial; alternate tutorial -> i also sometimes add a hue/saturation layer on top to manipulate the cyans/blues as well)

    Second resort:

    • Keyframes for shots with consistent movement where itโ€™s easy to hide โ€œimperfectionsโ€ (tutorial 1, tutorial 2)

    Last resort:

    • Frame by frame colouring -> DISCLAIMER: the way I do this method is the easiest way Iโ€™ve gotten it to work for me but that also means that itโ€™s very inflexible when it comes to editing any of the colouring afterwards. Once you start colouring in frame animation mode youโ€™re basically locked in so you need your gifs to be exactly the way you want them prior to adding your colour
    • So in this tutorial Iโ€™ll go over how I do my frame by frame colouring as well as how I create actions to automate the repetitive parts of this process! (Some resources that explain how to create actions are here: 1 2)
    • To use the select subject feature you will need Photoshop CC 2018 or later
