Cooking loops for Lottie files, starting with aubergine because I like them loads...
I always start with a sketch, some loose drawing with pencil and paper. At this stage I don't really concentrate too much on the details or think too much of the animation. Everything else evolves later on...
In the next stage I jump straight into Illustrator to create vector character and background. I normally go to Adobe Colors for some inspiration.
I added some hand drawn background elements and the auberigne in Photoshop using Kyle's brushes.
Back to to Illustrator to name all the layers for rigging in the After Effects.
Now the fun begins: First rigging the character and then animating and seeing the character coming to life.
