Touhou 15 Teaser Trailer Update #3 (Patreon)

Base coloring for Junko's frames and layers. The first three frames are to be layered underneath the next eight. As you saw on the previous WIP, Junko is seen from a distance as she zooms into the camera. I figured I can get away with just reusing the same three frames rather than drawing them from scratch due to the distance. At least until a certain point where I need to draw the rest of the zoom manually.

I think it looks good but I must be honest. I've been continuing my studies on hair and I feel like I've learned a lot more since I started this small teaser. So I'm kind of not feeling the hair anymore. But at the same time I still don't know what exactly to do about the hair because hair is complicated to animate. I'm still trying to figure out a good process for animating hair so I'm not certain what exactly I'm suppose to fix. But I feel that maybe I can do something about it during the detail and compositing phase of the art as I'm still trying to figure things out as I go. Not to mention this teaser is also just a way for me to experiment before the real thing, so I'm just going to throw every dart at the board and see what gets the bullseye.

But it appears that I am now stuck. I don't know what to do next after the base coloring. I've been going through tutorials, examining other people's art, and experimenting on the side. I'm kind of stuck at this point until I understand what I must do before I can proceed. So what I'm going to do is put aside the trailer for now and continue to study until I can figure out what it is I must do next.

I'll have to leave it at that for now until I can figure out what I can do to take my art to the next level.
