I create these animated paintings in Photoshop and After Effects.

I paint ONE paint stroke on a layer in Adobe Photoshop. I duplicate that layer and then paint over it. Then I duplicate THAT one and paint over it as well.

And so on, and so on and so on….

then I import the (eventually huge) PSD file into After Effects and sequence the layers…

Surely there must be a simpler / faster way to do this?

Can you think of an app/plug in or some other way I can just paint in Photoshop while SOMETHING records what I’m doing…
