I am an art student studying in the field of animation. I've been drawing all my life, and creating animations has been my newest and most favorite form of drawing. I've been doing it for about five years now, and I can say that it truly is my passion. I've lived in the Bay Area all of my life, and I absolutely love it here. My dream is to open my own studio someday and produce classic 2d cartoons.
Math is more important than art" is what I grew up with. It's funny, because even with this kind of philosophy, there was nothing I was more horrible at than math. Maybe it's because I covered the word problems with doodles? Or maybe it's because I'd outline scribbles done by other people on my desk with a sharpie during lecture? For a subject in which its importance was constantly stressed by my parents, I never could focus. If anything, the longer and tougher the classes got, the more my creativity thrived, until one day I tossed my accounting books out the window and decided to take an art class instead.
I draw because it makes me feel like I'm in control. Everything is created through my own decisions. Even when photoshop crashes before I saved my work, or when I knock over my water cup all over my painting, in the end I decided not to save my work early enough, and I decided to put my water cup next to my arm, and that's pretty cool. I want to continue what I do, and achieve ultimate happiness.
