Objectives and Targets
Education...
So far, the most popular software for animators is "After effects" and " Photoshop" so I need to learn about it and get used to it. Nowadays, I am just using procreate so I need to exaggerate my tool. I will enroll online class and focus on to expand my skills.
Furthermore, I'd like to start cartoon account(or charter design) and upload my daily or past stories once a week(or two weeks). In addition, research many story boards to become a storyboard designer.
Finally, in my opinion "mimic" is the best way whether I don't know what should I do so I will watch the Simpson(or other commercial animations) again and draw such styles. Moreover, by observing each scene, I would like to know the details of that.
Personal...
To work in front of the monitor for a long time, I should have to do home training at least 30 min to make my back stronger. One of my main reason that I avoided drawing work is because of back pain so I have to put stretching in my daily routine.
Working with stand monitor and this is really good for back and easy to focus on. In addition, I am using 'Time timer' that can make alarm easily to make people focus on. At least 20 min of work and 5 min break is a easy way handle my time properly.
Experience is also good thing to become an artist so I would travel to somewhere else out of London and meet new people.
Industry...
I will keep in touch with Hannah and London based drawing community so finally become a 2D animator (and storyboard artist) at SEED animation so I want to collaborate with many artists.
One of the best wishes is that I have my own cartoon (or children book) in the future so I want to become a book writer. To become the artist, I need to write down any single events in my life and my emotional feelings about that in memo. Also storyboarding skill is really important. Young children really like to do something repeated event so I need to keep that in my mind.
Actually I am taking care 3 years old boy at nanny job and that experience inspired me to make a stories about him. Sooner or later, I will draw some picture and write down proper stories.
