(Other specific kinds of animations I've done can be found in other posts below)

Ever since a young age, I've always been fascinated with drawing one picture after another to give a drawing a life of its own. At around the age of 16, I realized that I wanted to pursue a path in my art career through the illustration and animation route. After graduating from the University of Tampa, I plan on attending Graduate school. For my future goals, my home lies in Burbank, California, where I plan on becoming a either a concept artist (mainly in character design) or animator for Walt Disney Animation Studios. I also have a personal project that I have been working on since the Summer of 2017. This personal project is a story that I plan on pitching to Disney in the future to become a future Disney movie.

Spring 2019, Program Used: IbisPaintX

Spring 2018, Program Used: Illustrator 

I've been doing digital art since Fall of 2015, so I have slowly improved over time. I like to render 2D cartoon art, realistic portraits, and 3D style art, where I tend to give my artworks that feel of being a 3D sculpted character, as seen in many 3D animated movies. I get my inspiration from watching the wonders created by many animators and artists in animated movies. I always achieve that effect in my drawings by mainly using the pen for small details and the airbrush to layer colors, which give it that smooth and three-dimensional effect.

Kinetic Typography

Fall 2018, Program Used: FlipAClip

Having experience since the age of eleven, kinetic typography is something I enjoy doing. The above example was made from scratch by drawing frame-by-frame. I think it gives kinetic typography much more liveliness to it and you can animate to do and move in any ways you desire.

Fall 2018

Last year alone, I learned about the magic of stop motion animation. As a group (Other members were Taylor Guyton and Jennifer Snook), it was our task to create two short stop motion animations. In the first video, I helped move around the shapes to make paper cut-outs come to life, and in the second, it was my task to give the bunny its movement. Both were fun to create and they have helped me come to appreciate an animation style I was never really into before.

Rotoscopes

Spring 2018, Program Used: Photoshop

Fall 2018, Program Used: FlipAClip

As time-consuming as they are, I always enjoy creating a nice rotoscope. I have worked with various programs with rotoscoping. Both examples above are stylistically different due to different ways of working. The first of my examples is a Harry Potter rotoscope, which was made in Photoshop, and a challenge to create due to the challenge of having to use a mouse for drawing. The second example is a rotoscope of Brendon Urie that was made in FlipAClip, which is a program I can easily use right on my drawing tablet, making the overall style much more stable. Either way, I enjoy all styles of rotoscoping.

Coding Experience

                                   

Program Used: Komodo Edit

This piece allowed me to develop my skills in coding. This artwork is referenced from the design of one of my original characters for my personal project. I first drew it on graph paper to get a sense of where all the curves and lines were. During the process, most of the points were adjusted to get a more refined and closer look to the character.
