 PERSONAL   STUDIES, ETC

 PERSONAL PROJECT    MEMORY LANEA series of illustrations based on different parts of my childhood with the intent of helping me heal and cope with the concept of growing up.
These images are digital collages made from important figures of my past, pictured from photographs and modern interpretations of my memories. The overlayed and overwhelming colors, symbols and patterns emulate the feelings of a distant memory, similarly to old photographs having light leaks or fading away.

  SOFTWARE For my animations, my go-to programs tend to be Toonsquid for IOS devices, Clip Srudio Paint EX, andAdobe Animate for desktop.
I tend to fluctuate between versions of Animate/Flash based on my workflow.I mostly use Clip Studio Paint for illustration but recently I have been adapting to the animation layouts of the program and learning how to work in advantage to the pros of the software.Post compositing, editing and rendering of the final animation is done on Adobe After Effects and/or DaVinci Resolve.

  EXPERIENCE I am a mainly self taught animator, most of what I have learnt have been through online resources and insights from other animators.Currently studying rig animation on Adobe Animate at the art school Pandora.I have participated on online animation and art projects for community spaces such as the Warrior Cats fandom.
