Who am I? Why am I here? What do I want to learn?

Some of my recent character designs:

I chose to study on this Animation programme for the reason that I thought it would be great for me. Illustrating, creating characters and stories of my own have been a part of my imagination for almost a decade and I have gained a great interest in 2D animations over the years. Imaging not only having the skill to create graphic novels for my characters but also have the skills to bring them to life within my own world and story would be beyond amazing for me.

During my time on the programme I would enjoy learning how to 2D animate well and create the illusion of a 3D animation, similar to some animated series I watch and adore. I would still give other ways of animation such as 3D a go just to widen my knowledge if they manage to change my mind and enjoy other ways of animating as well.

Skills I think prove to be my strengths are that I am good at drawing well detailed or simplistic cartoony characters and have realised I am good at drawing from what I see in front of me like a picture of an animal or life drawing (which I don't do much of recently). I am also able to do my own typography when creating titles for my own stories.

When making poses with correct proportions they aren't usually a problem most of the time for me, but I could definitely do with more improvement when I try more ambitious poses. Also, I should get used to creating even more realistic looking characters.

To evaluate my progress I will compare the work I will end up creating on the programme with what I created in the past and notice any improvements made since then. I would like to compare my work with past animations on the programme to see how well I managed to do compared to previous work, whether I did as well or even better.
