Animating the book cover idea

 This started off as a book cover design but then I decided to animate it and see how it looked. Overall I really like it and think that it could tie into my animation really fluidly and nicely. In particular I am really enjoying the simple aesthetic and the revolving Earth. I planned to animate the design using adobe after effects but unfortunately due to covid-19 I am limited to using Procreate which means my animation frames are all hand drawn digitally. However, I am really pleased with this aesthetic and will definitely be taking this forward.

Animating the fish

I animated the fish by drawing rippled lines and then moving the fish along the lines. It’s not a natural fish movement but it makes the animation really nice and fluid which is what I am aiming to achieve.
