Illustration: Colorful creations for my stories

purple conch shell with light pink interior

Gif (moving picture) of girl in green raincoat, laying on the ground toward the sky, with rain falling. she's holding an upside down umbrella. as water bounces out of the umbrella, it waters, an acorn, and oak tree leaves grow. The rain is pink, blue and purple.

I produced my rain GIF in Adobe AfterEffects. The GIF is designed to be a banner for an article about finding joy in each day. In the rainy scene, water bounces to create an oak tree plant.

During the creation process, I designed the animation effects that the illustrations experience.

yellow umbrella with purple handle, with green leaves and rain drops around it. the umbrella is upside down.

Here is the series of passes that I created on the way to the final illustration.

yellow umbrella is open on the ground, upside down, with pastel rain and acorn growing into oak plant

the drawing now has a girl in a green rain coat and purple rain boots, but her head is outside of the frame

now we see the entire girl, with her arms stretched out in the rain. her eyes are closed and she is smiling.

the girl's eyes are now opened. she has purple hair bows.

now the light purple sky is more of a dark navy blue.

the girl is now laying down on the ground, holding the opened yellow umbrella. the ground now has a layer of dirt under the green.
