We had to first create our characters with whatever technique we wanted especially by 1st sketching them out and using different techniques to get the effect er wanted. I liked the idea of simple character in a vintage collage style so that is how i created them. 

I chose to create only the three main characters and some support elements for the circus theme as we had to produce a 2 min animation. 

This was he mood-board that I created to help me understand the colours and the themes of vintage circus posters and charters.

Here is a circus horse and seal created with paper collage technique and then taken into Photoshop to get the desired effect. 

These characters were created by a rough outline on paper and then i added newspaper to create the collage effect. After that i experimented with using inks to get different effects but finally created the final characters in Photoshop. From left to right is Pt. Barnum,  Philip Carlyle and Anne Wheeler. 

Here is a very rough storyboard that I created so that i had an idea of how the sequence would turn out.But i also edited the storyboard along the way so this is not the final version.

Here is the final version that i came up with. This was  college assignment and most of the project was done during the lockdown due to which there were many things I would have liked some help or guidance with which was difficult to obtain due to the lockdown.
