So I’ve just done an assignment within one hour; now if all of them were this quick and fun Either way, I was given a model and a selection of sound files to use to make this animation to display show how I can animate the mouth to the words. The sound file probably wasn’t [...]

Well, here we are guys; an entire afternoon’s worth of typing and we have the essay completed! I do feel satisfied, though 50 words short Still, I don’t think that will be much of a problem as I can get it checked by my tutor before the deadline this Thursday If only I had some [...]

Anatomy I

This week, the work seemed a bit gross since we had to draw all the bones and innards of our cute characters – gross! Still, it had to be done… NB: By this time, we had received feedback from our first animation. Our group was not allowed to use Angry Birds, so instead we switched [...]

This week was so nostalgic for me, as I remember doing this in year nine for Art!

What do you [...]

This week, which I rather did enjoy since it made me feel like an artist, we used negative spacing! Basically, all that this is “is the space around, between or within the subject(s) of a picture”. All that this does is just to bring more definition to the subject. Observed Drawing using Negative Space For [...]

This week for Technology Context, we had to learn how to draw! Surprisingly everyone can draw, even me! At first I thought that this was going to be a pointless semester, mainly because I never thought myself as a good drawer, and never really enjoyed it (I thought my work was rubbish), but after some [...]
