Color and texture test
Color is one of the most important parts of the animation creation and rendering the whole animation atmosphere. In addition to completing the animatic, I also did a color test in week 5. After comparing the cool tone and warm tone, I prefer to use warmer colors, because warm colors will make the picture look more lovely and cute, which is suitable for my animation. Secondly, I use low saturation and the low value, which will make the picture softer and the audience will feel more comfortable.
When comes to line work, I was going to use a textured brush(such as a pencil brush), but I think the sharp outline is more suitable for my style, so I use the thin line. I also tried light color and without line drawing, which is blurrier than black line.
For the texture, I tried texturizer function in TVPaint. TVP can directly track the color in the color layer, and create a texture player to fill these areas. This is a great help for me in adding texture because I plan to add different textures to different parts. If I use After Effects, I might export a lot of layers respectively, and it is difficult to recombine them.
