ABOUT ME

Course: Concept Art BA(Hons)

Biography

I am a graduating concept art student looking for either a full-time job or an internship in concept art or 2D animation as these are my primary interests.

For my final year project, I combined my two passions in creating a 2-minute long animation where the focus was on teaching myself both a new software and skillset: animating.

From this, and the research I carried out alongside it, I learnt how to use TVPaint Animation and the profession process for animating.
