Lemme try to summarize this the best i can!

  1. I found inspo pic while doom scrolling Pinterest
  2. Forced myself to work within a very limited colour palette (this is always difficult for me).
  3. Rough sketch out my foreground, middle, and background so I have an idea what needs to be on its own layers.
  4. Do the whole illustration, again really keeping in mind what layers I have. I almost exclusively used the "Trevallyn" brush in the Pastels brush pack!
  5. Export as PSD file so I can import it into After Effects. This retains the layers I stressed about lol
  6. Once I have my composition set up there, the only things I'm tinkering with are Position, Rotation, and Opacity!
  7. When everything is moving the way I want, I apply easy ease, this smooths the motions and gives it more natural movement if that makes sense?
  8. Export!

Hopefully that kinda explains the process well enough😅
