These kept me busy while Steemit was down until this morning... 😊
There was this coloring contest hosted by @snook and I remembered the PicsArt app that is installed on my phone so I decided to join. PicsArt is a free photo editing tool and I thought it will be easy to do the coloring using it, which I found out later that indeed it was!
I thought of making the image in .gif file format so the transition will be transparent. I did not expect the end result of my first attempt but I was very happy about it. The image looks like a lantern and it became alive when I made it into .gif format. It looks like one of those many glowing Christmas lanterns which I see along the highways of Pampanga and Tarlac provinces after All Saints and All Souls Day in November. That was when I decided to do the same for all the three images on the contest post, though I entered only one.
I did not capture the changes in between when I was doing my entry for the contest. For the purpose of this post, I repeated everything. Though, there is already a difference from my entry to the contest with the one that is here because I can no longer pick the exact gradient mix which I first used on PicsArt.
Following are the transition steps of all the three images as I was coloring them.
I used gradient rainbow color on the frame of all the images so you may notice that there is no specific color along the frame lines. The small flowers scattered around the pattern are “brush tip style” wherein those flowers will be the ones lined up when I brushed. I used S-pen as the brush. I tried using my fingers but they seem too fat for the thin frames of the images.
This is the very first one I made and was my entry to the contest.
How I wish I can print these with the animated glow. 😃
How about? What made you busy while Steemit was away? 😊
