Why did you make this work:
'Self-Portrait' is an animation gif about me and how I was feeling during the second year of the pandemic. The brief given by Animest; 'Animated Women' was to create an animated self portrait gif in any style for their exhibition in Romania.

How was the illustration used:
Animation for the Animest 'Animated Women' exhibition in Romania

How did you make this work:
I drew rough sketches of my head moving and brought them into Adobe Animate. I keyed out the roughs for the gif then cleaned up the animation. I gave myself the task of working with minimal colours so I used different shades of grey and soft reds. I brought the animation into photoshop and added a soft grain and blur to the video to make it more dreamlike and added a soft background.
