See below a little bit of the creation process!

Start of the process – drawings in the notebook and on tracing paper

I had an old drawing I had done in a sketchbook on the theme of Easter. To turn it into an animation, I decided to separate the drawing into layers – so I redrew the different elements on tracing paper.

It was also necessary to draw the angel in another notebook, and I made the wings separately on tracing paper, to facilitate the animation that I would do later.

Angel with wings design

The drawings were initially made with HB pencil, and then transferred to a black ballpoint pen.


I scanned them separately and processed them in Photoshop to get clean lines. I improved the lines of the characters and colored them in ibisPaint X, and I colored and textured the elements of the scenery in Illustrator.

I used After Effects to animate them (creating light effects, among others), and I finished by adding (and editing) the soundtrack in Premiere Pro.
