Day one

Hello there, my name is Matt, and I hope to become an animator of some kind or other.
I have enjoyed drawing from a young age, and although my skills are not that great, I hope that over the coming months I'll improve a bit, and that it'll show here.
I expect it to be insanely hard. The bits I've done so far have been, but a sense of extreme calmness and aliveness comes out when I do it.
I have a rough story for my first animation, and pretty much all my ideas are animations wanting to be made.

I did a quick test last week, animating over a couple of afternoons to ease myself into it. The software I'm using is called Toonboom studio, and although my first test is far from perfect, I'm fairly happy with it.



I'm also reading 'The Animators survival kit' by Richard Williams, which is both easy and educational to read. A brilliant book to get if you are interested in this like me.

I'm off to a life drawing class later, the first one in over six years. I'll try to post a few on here if I can.
