4# TALENT CHALLENGE ENTRY - @ediah

Hello Steemit Family! I am trying my luck again through joining @kid4life's contest. This is my entry:

The GIF quotes, "Steeming high, having fun, we're all in this together!"

Meaning, you may be a minnow, a dolphin or a whale, Steemit is there to lift us up. I chose the hot air balloon because it's an open ride where we can see the beauty of the surroundings while riding on it. Together, we all are having fun while we explore and learn new things.

By the way, I also submitted this entry to @steemcreations' creativity challenge. Hoping to win to help my account grow and be able to help others too if I'm lucky enough.

The process:

First, I took these four pictures from Google.

(Credit to the owners of the pictures)

Next, removed the white backgrounds of the drawings, by using the 'Background Eraser' app. So the picture will turn into a PNG image.

Then, I opened my Autodesk Sketchbook Pro app and imported all the PNG images from my Gallery.

Took a Steemit logo from Google again and made it as a design for the balloon.

I put all the sea creatures inside the basket and colored everything.

Painted some clouds as the background.

Lastly, I used the applications 'GIF Maker' for the GIF and 'Picsay Pro' for the quotes.

My watermark is written on the balloon's basket.

That would be all. Please support my entry! Thank you.
