Leaf Drop (unedited)

I am an Animation/Illustration student, emphasis on the Illustration part. While I think I might enjoy animationg in a non-academic setting, for the most part, its just been a very horrible experience for me. On top of which, I can only stand traditional animating. Programs like Maya frustrate me to no end. So, I stick to illustrating, my true love anyway.

In the past, I've taken life drawing courses, traditional animation courses, learned about rendering, shadow, and design. I've mostly been taught to work with acrylic, but I actually hate that type of paint and prefer watercolour or oil. I'm a real art supply nerd and can spend hours just staring at or testing out all the paints, pastels, pencils, pens, markers and papers to be found in an art store.

As far as science goes, I tend to mostly stick to biology or earth science courses. I find chemistry interesting, but usually get stuck on the math aspect of it.

Currently, I'm taking a course on evolution, along with an acting class and the required 100W course, plus this class. This semester is the first I haven't taken any full on art classes since I started here. It feels a bit strange, but perhaps a welcome break to just work on whatever inspires me.

Once I finish school, to be quite honest, I have no idea what I'll do. I still haven't really settled on a career that I think I want, or might like. Anything that seems as if it would fit my skill set seems to have a major downside, but maybe I'll still find something as I finish up my classes.
