How to Make r.boo Tentacles [photoshop tut]

So today I am gonna show you how to make tentacles using PHOTOSHOP
This method is the simplest of all!!!

• Choose 400 x 400 pixels in new image.
  Name it "tentacles"  
• Use the "Polygon Laso Tool" to make a triangle.[easiest tool]
• Fill the triangle with any colour of your choice but lighter colours are better.
  I choose light blue
• DESELECT THE TRIANGLE (Crtl + D)

• Go to Filter->Distort->Shear, and select the box that says "Repeat Edge Pixels"
• Do not make it too long or stretched out,
  if the end is too small, the bevel won't work too well on it. 
• click on Layer->Layer Style->Bevel and Emboss. Make sure it is set to "inner level "and the technique is at "Smooth"
•   Depth: 60%
    Direction: Up
    Size: 5px
    Soften: 15px
• Crop the image, move the tentacle around, and you're done!

Spikes

Make a new file in photoshop around 900 x 900 px .

Fill it with black colour.

Next make a new layer above the background.  Select the circular marquee tool and make a selection .

Choose the gradient tool and select radial gradient. choose the spectrum gradient.

Apply the gradient to the circular selection.

Deselect it and then merge the layer into the background.

Go to filter menu an select filter>stylize>extrude
 reduce the size to something less than 20........ the lesser the size of the pixels the thinner the spikes.

 Now run the same filter ( Ctrl+F) a few times more.

What is animation?

Simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
There are different types of animations like clay animation, cel animation, effects animation etc.
It covers the entire process from script to screen  (short or feature).
Animation is not about moving images but moving people.
A difference between live action film making & animation is animation film tends to be pegged down
pretty accurately by the end of the preproduction process itself whereas for a live action film it
is close to completion only at the end of editing which is a post production process.
