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!

    Hi anon! I’d be happy to go over my preferred methods for colouring!

    image

    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 it’s easy to hide “imperfections” (tutorial 1, tutorial 2)

    Last resort:

    • Frame by frame colouring -> DISCLAIMER: the way I do this method is the easiest way I’ve gotten it to work for me but that also means that it’s very inflexible when it comes to editing any of the colouring afterwards. Once you start colouring in frame animation mode you’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 I’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

    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
