Tangled and torn pages

Hola everyone! 

For the first time in my life, I have started a YouTube channel and uploaded a video! Yay!

It goes by the same name as this blog (Little Amateur Artist) click here to visit my YouTube channel. 

I did a page in my art journal and this is how it looks like 

Initially, I had something else in my mind and started to paint the background black and in the middle of it my black paint ran out and I mixed some navy blue with it. It turned out to be a complete disaster when my navy blue decided to dry out into a very lighter shade. Still unmindful of it, I continued by sticking some silk thread on the page. Now, the glue (maybe with some kind of evil intention 😈) decided not to dry clear! Oh! Heavens bless my soul!

Then to add insult to the injury, the page got torn!😢

That was exactly when I thought of writing this quote "Tangled and Torn is pretty" (though I don't have a copyright, you can rest assured that it is my very own one!)

I added tangled to torn just because it started with the same letter. 😉

Well, I also took video of the process! I have attached it here. Watch and have fun!

Since this is my first video, I haven't quite figured out how to add voice or music. (Alas! My camera doesn't record my voice well!)

Hope the upcoming videos will be way better!

Have a nice day!

GIF using Flipaclip app

Hello everyone!

It's been a bit cloudy over here, a kind relief from the harsh Indian summer sun! Whew!

I spent almost the entire morning (more than 5 hours) in making the above GIF.

So, I thought of sharing a few steps of how I made the above video.

I am no expert in animation. So, I hope it is not too bad!

I used "flipaclip" animation app. I kinda love it because, you get to add even the smallest details (since you do it frame by frame). And I don't have the paid version. Only the free one.

12 frames per second.

Just used the pencil tool (of maximum size) to create the background. Added one dot per frame till the end.

Had emojis in my Samsung keypad. Used the plane emoji.

For the word "little", I added each letter per frame.

For the word "Amateur" I made them zig zag and by each frame, I aligned them.

For the word "Artist" I made them in a fade style. By using the option below.

Viola! At last I finished the 71 frame gif!

Have a wonderful day! 

Yellow and Green pages

Hola! Another awesome weekend came to an end😩

And how did I spend it?

Doing a page in my art journal!

Yellow and Green is one of my favourite colour combinations. (The other being Black and Gold).

Filled my page with it! Ah! Now I feel the bliss😌!

Just take a look at the finished product!

The side view of squaresand rectangles.

Whispering winds!
Chirping birds!
My happy soul!

Literally, the winds were whispering and birds chirping

And my soul was too happy that I decided to paint it and celebrate it!

Step by step process:

1. The background.
     I did the background with yellow paint and then gave a dash of green here and there with my brush.

2. The spider web:
     I decided to bring in a spider web effect. So, with my black pen, I drew the cob web like thing.

It reminded me of the giant spider webs in The Hobbit.

Squares and rectangles!

I know the squares and rectangles aren't perfect. Life isn't perfect too!

Tada!

Have a wonderful next week!
