I get to love you, it’s the best thing that I’ll ever do I get to love you, it’s a promise I’m making to you. Whatever may come; your heart I will choose. Forever I’m yours, forever I do. I get to love you, I get to love you. (x)​

How to go from these :

to these : 

Light backgrounds

1. Extend the size of the work area to the top :

2. Select the color at the very top of your image :

3. Use that color to create a solid background, you will place that layer at the very bottom of your layer column : 

4. Add a basic coloring, try to lighten the background color (with selective color for example) : 

5. Add your black and white coloring. [green framing; I have the habit to use a solid red layer with “color burn” as blending mode, it allows me to tone down the gif or make it a colored gif if I want to] : 

Tips: You can use selective color and boost the “black” in the black section to darken the characters :

Black backgrounds

1. Extend the size of the work area to the top and add a solid black layer at the very bottom of your layer column : 

2. Add your basic coloring and your b&w coloring; tips: use selective color and boost the “black” in the black section (it will help you erase some of the background details that you don’t want) :

3. To erase the remaining details of the background, I usually use selective color and boost the “black” in the black section (the same tool as in step 2.) except that I concentrate it on certain areas not on the whole gif. You can also use the pen brush and use black to erase small background details that are not in contact with the characters :

It goes without saying that it’s very complicated to achieve this kind of gifs if the background is too detailed and if the characters are cut at the top.

👻 Ghost: Do you get scared easily?

fffffffffffff-- yes, omg. i am so weak when it comes to scary things and i’m not ashamed to say it, lmao. i think i’ve gotten a bit better lately, but i will not willingly do anything scary, like watch a horror movie (i do like buzzfeed unsolved though. that shit is creepy but ryan and shane make it easy to watch, lol) or go to a haunted house or whatever and if someone scares me, i will scream in their face.
