Description
I don't have much to show, but, I want to give a lil gift as a 'thank you' for those who reported the art thief in Newgrounds...It's not really useful, but, I just hope i'm able to show some things for people to learn... It's recommended to know how to use Photoshop and AfterEffects first before looking at it...
I've also added an animated gif showing how a scene was prepared element by element... (Click 'Download'... 6mb tho)
Video: [link]
Edit:
'Kay, i tried counting and the total frames are approx 964... (that excludes the frames for non-animating elements)
Edit2:
Due to sudden changes DA implemented regarding GIF files with preview image, I decided to remove the gif to make the tut show up again

i love draw with me i think it is one of the most cutest/sadest love stories i have ever seen it makes me cry everytime i watch it
but wow if i were you this would have taken me years to finish
who ever your girlfriend is must be lucky to have a guy like you
i just wonder how many months did it take you to finish this, and how many hours a day did you spend making this?

this was a completely stellar peice of artwork, it made me cry so much. If this isn't the best present she's ever received then...then that'd be crazy because this would totally be the best gift anyone could ever receive, ever.

So you did all the frames in photoshop? and then just import them in after effects o,o?... I gotta try that...
You know... I had the same idea of you, back at 2007... an animation for the girl I loved... I tried to make it on flash but god that was impossible for me, can't handle it's brushes, I did the bg's at photoshop thou but the flash file was getting to big xD.. and my pc crashed on me...
Too bad everything went to heel in that relationship and she doesn't wants to see me again, and even worse I still love her -.-.. *sigh*
But.. anyways, I want to make an animation, so I?ll give it a try with after effects, since I suck badly at flash, and now I know I can make it in photoshop
Thanks for sharing!

Okay, so I first watched this on Youtube and I thought it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g! ITS SO CUTE AND INCREDIBLE! Im so glad I found this cause I was really wondering how you made it. And, although most of the technical stuff flys right over my head, I can tell its a whole lot of work but it cam out beautifully!
I was wondering, is there going to be a squeal? Because I REALLY LOVE IT!

I didn't know you could animate using Photoshop o_O. It looks really complicated though. Thank you for this tutorial! I've wanted to try animation but I thought I didn't have the program for it; but it was sitting right in front of my nose this entire time!
Now I just have to learn more about Photoshop...
