blog project 1

This is my first blog project. so i have no idea if i am even doing this right but oh well here it goes.
what i learned this week was basically how difficult being on a computer really is. i learned a lot of new terms and techniques that i didn't even knew existed. i found using illustrator quite easy and i was really surprised on how well my first animation character turned out! i learned that there is a lot of art in this class and thats what really enthused me to continue in this and strive to do my best. to be completely honest, i was really bummed that i was put in this class. but i decided to give it a shot and i'm so glad i did.
something i would wish to learn in the future is mastering 3D and really bring the characters to life.  something that has always inspired me is Tim Burton films. my art work is very similar. considering how i don't like to use color because kindergartners are better at coloring in the lines then me, and considering the imagination of each character and how dark and mysterious they are. i like to make a sort of creepy feel to my art work and i would like to show a lot of it in this class.
something that frustrated me was learning the new tools i was not used to using. also discovery how complicated making every line perfect really is. you need to be persistent and patient and unfortunately those are two traits i do not carry. but eventually i ended up being really good at it and i am the master, or should i say, mistress of the pen tool! the repetition is something i am not found of but it helped me learn how to use it extremely.
something that made me happy this week was when i was finally done with my animation! it looked so good and i was so proud of myself! my character is very unique and i plan on using more of it in future works. something that also made me happy was learning how much creativity and art was put in this class and those are two things i am really easy at! i really think this is going to be a great year for me.
so for my final paragraph i am suppose to put in a link of interest. what i found interesting and relatable to this class was Tim Burtons new film Frankenweenie. yes i know it is a children's movie but Tim Burton is my inspiration and the animation in this movie is awesome. he does almost all his works in black and white or very dark tones.
