My 11-yo ninja spent ages animating this. 😍
Yes, there’s Midjourney and Dall-E and all the other AI art generator.
However there’s something really magical about the sweet creative process of bringing an imaginary vision to life with your hands.
This 2 second animated gif (had to turn it to a 3s mp4 file for LinkedIn) has 24 frames which she drew individually using a stylus and Clip Studio.
All self-taught I might add. I use a far more simplistic tool called PENUP on my Samsung for my doodles. 😁
She took suggestions and would keep on trying again and again until she was happy.
The heart was initially white but she coloured in with expanding shades of red which I thought looked really good.
And she did try sticking in “Sending Love” text in the middle but it didn’t quite work so that went.
At the end of all that effort I was able to use it ‘in production’ on a WhatsApp message to a friend who caught covid for the 3rd time 😣
Anyway I’m super proud and I had to share.
So whatever you’re doing this weekend… Here’s some love from my ninja and me. 😘
