New Blog: New Start

Today is the day I have created this blog, its the main blog I will be using for posting about my work on my Animation and illustration course at Newcastle college. I started this course because art is a major influencial factor in my life, I love to generically draw but so far I am enjoying learning so many new things that can be used within the creative industry such as how to animate and how to illustrate using software. I am interested in various styles and artists ranging from manga artists to abstract artists. I mainly love a simple cartoon like style like series such as Adventure Time or The amazing world of Gumball, I mainly love these styles as some of them can be quite obscure and creative such as how Ben Bocquelet creates a semi-realistic environment within the animation this occurs through the use of having 2d characters move around freely within a 3d environment.

What I mainly hope and want to achieve is that I can improve my skills further through experiencing so many different types of animation and illustration software, also to develop my own type of style so I want to get as much sketching and illustrating done throughout these 3 years, mainly I hope I can develop the skills to become a skilled illustrator, possibly make a story book as I love the idea of making up stories and telling them and sharing them with people.
