Watch out!

Today I started drawing the sharks that will go into this scene :) At first I found it really hard to draw sharks so it took me ages until I finally drew a shark that looked like a shark haha! I thought that if I made each shark look different then this scene would be more interesting compared to if there were three similar looking sharks. Next lesson I'm hoping to finish drawing my third shark and add in my fish! 

SHARK BAIT

After finishing working on Fish Vegas, I started working on the shark cave scene! What will happen in this scene will be that my fish will swim up to a mysterious cave and realise that it's being inhabited by three sharks! The sharks will ask what the fish is doing outside their home before the fish explains that it has lost it's colour and needs to find it again. The sharks say no they haven't and that the fish better scram otherwise it might turn into their dinner so off the fish goes into the next scene. 

Here is the beginning of this scene, except i haven't added the fish in yet because I find it easier to draw the background first before I draw the foreground.

 

Transition #2

I made another quick transition scene in today's lesson. It only took me about 2 minutes to do because it is the exact same as the first transition scene since I copied and pasted its slides. After this, all I needed to do was just add another colour to the fish's scales, which I chose to be a bright green. I'm thinking about adding another special feature after the fish visits another place in search of it's colour, so instead of just it's colour changing, its mouth could slowly change into a smile as well. I might work on changing this next lesson :)

Bye Vegas!

Today I finally finished my fish vegas scene :) I added in the characters and made them speak so after that I had finished! There weren't really too many difficulties with this scene except I struggled a little bit to get a good effect of my fish moving up and down in the current of the water without them looking rushed. However I overcame this so now it looks much better. As you can see my main fish has some of it's scales in colour.

Fish Vegas

Today I finished animating the background for my Fish Vegas scene. I kept the ferris wheel from last lesson but I changed the sign and added in some buildings and a roller coaster (which will have a roller coaster running on it). The ferris wheel has lights that spiral around the inside and change colours after every slide, and the lights outlining the Fish Vegas sign change from orange to yellow every 2 slides. I went to vegas when I was younger and I remember there being lots of lights everywhere so I tried to make this scene kind of fit into my description. Next lesson I'll add in the characters. 

Viva Fish Vegas

Today I started working on the second destination my fish visits, which is the famous fish vegas! I only got up to drawing a ferris wheel and a sign saying 'fish vegas' on it because that's all I had time for so next lesson I hope to become near finishing it. To give the ferris wheel a lighting up effect, after every two slides I changed the colour of one of the pink ferris wheel poles in the middle to purple. So it gives an effect that the wheel is lighting up in a circular motion. I'm not too sure if the sign looks right though because I did it in a rush so I'll probably modify it a bit next lesson.

Is that some colour???

Today I worked on the transition scene that my fish will swim from one scene to the next in. It was quite simple to make because it just consisted of my fish swimming across the screen. However.........there are some sneaky scales of colour that have appeared on my fish!! Because the main point of the story is that after every place my fish visits, it'll get a small part of its colour back and at the end it'll be more colourful that it was to start with!

I didn't end up getting a screenshot of its colour but there are two scales that are now a deep pink :)
