Works in Progress
Right below are the drawings I am working on right now! As soon as their done I'll put them in a gallery on my site!
The Passion
If there is anything I love a lot, its anime. Whenever I have the time I just love to glue my eyes to some shows and movies. Everything about them give me goosebumps and make me happy. What better way to express that love, then to draw it out on paper? For my capstone project I decided to find out if animating and drawing is my passion.
Just take a look below at the amount of time I've spent watching anime, if just saying I love anime doesn't convince you!
Why I didn't do animation:
いいえ
I really wanted to challenge myself by aiming for the toughest goals. These goals consisted of animating an anime-styled commercial for my smoothie business, but it didn't necessarily work out. Even though I got a tutor, my drawing skills weren't up to par. I was someone that only knew how to draw stick figures, and starting there for animation makes things even more difficult.
I had to drop the animating for another time and decided to work on developing my drawing skills. Drawing well is of course, key, to doing well in animation.
Going to Drawing:
With countless research, I was searching for the best way to teach myself to draw better. At first I was just binge watching YouTube videos, then it went to looking at apps. I noticed there wasn't much growth when I looked at my sketches. One moment I realised that I needed to find a better way to teach myself, so I researched on someone named Mark Crilley.
He's a legend when it comes to anime drawing tutorials and I loved how he taught. I bought his books and some others along with other art supplies. At this point I started sketching and sketching for extended periods of time. From that day I've been trying to make my own drawings and hope to stop till my hands fall off.
