Well, this is what I have been working on this week. I'm trying to find a style that works for me and I'm viewing the tutorials on Youtube by Rawsueshii. She is amazing. I really love her style and is influencing me. I know I need to practice and really incorporate my own tricks and design elements. Stay tune for more.

Well, today I'm learning how to create a series bible. For me I love to get learning and if I want to create my own cartoons and stuff I was reading I needed to create one. So this next step of my animator adventure will be interesting. I'm still going to push through breaking out of my comfort zone.

Pray for me everyone I will be submitting my pitch tonight for the contest. Woo hoo I'm stepping out of my comfort zone on this one. Here is so of the concept art

Some character designs

Well, pray for me everyone I'm creating a pitch for a cartoon series. It's for a contest with Tongal and Greenlight Project to create an Animated series. This is definitely for me because I am coming out of my comfort zone. Even if is doesn't get picked I will still continue to work on the series and put it on my website.

Well, my sister and I came up with this cool idea for a cartoon. I'm not going to give away any details because it's still in the creative phase. I am excited in the direction it is going. We have our characters so far. Now going to do so research for reference.

Good Evening,  As for me this is another adventure that I am working. See my Sister and I are trying to create this awesome magazine called Sultry Reigns. You may have heard of it since it's all on the social media platforms. Everyone must check it out. It will contain the latest topics as well as inspirational stories. We  just need some positive things in life.   Besides the magazine part of my life I still want to continue my passion for animations on Facebook they have a page from https://www.futurelearn.com  This is a  free program for animation but you can pay to get a certificate. I would say check it out. I'm only in the first week and I will keep you updated on the rest of the 4 weeks ahead.

Well, today is the day I decided to create my own sketch journal. I know I'm late to the game with in comes to that. But I really feel motivated to do it. I know I want to improve my drawing skills. I just have to stay motivated and not be so distracted. Plus this is good therapy for me,

I have decided to place a page on my Facebook for AnimatedGirl Studios. I know right. I am stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to do something I love. I love being creative and learning new things. So I'm hoping and praying to bring my experience of creating my own comic book and animated films to this page.

 In this week's assignment we had to build still life figure. I decided to do pen and inkwell, magnifying glass, and clock. I'm proud of the magnifying glass because to me it was the most difficult to do. I had to build each other separate and try to make each part look like they could work together. I do feel like I'm starting to get better at modeling. Now I just need to figure out had to add texture. Pray and wish me luck on week three assignment.

This is the put together scene for week 1 large props. This was very difficult week for me because it was a short week plus, I didn't know what class I was taking until Wednesday. I actually ended missing the first class. For me I like to plan ahead and this event kind of threw me for a loop. I had to rush to make these props and I was trying to make them as close to the reference as possible.  Now week 2 should be more interesting because we have to built still life props that will be place on the large props. Wish me luck and Prayers that I will be able to meet goal and get all my props done. 

Good Day Everyone!!!! I'm so sorry for being gone for so long but there was some things I needed to work on. But here is one of the props I had to create for class assignment. It was interesting because before I was trying to find different ways of doing certain angles and last night it dawn on me how to make the triangle for the curve pieces on the top of the cabinet. It was my Wow moment!!!!! lol. I just had to move the verts and then I merge the verts in order to create the shape. I honestly learned this while watching my podcast for class. Well, there will be more to look.

I'm sorry everyone for being away for a while. Right now I'm trying to motivation in what I'm doing. I'm trying to find the motivation to pick up and start. See in this new class it deals with branding and building a portfolio and its kind of self pace. For me I need structure and this class isn't very structured. I feel like I'm just lost.

Actually this was last week's project. I had to create for class three still life models. As you can see I have picked a clock, a pen and inkwell and a hourglass. As well as having to model three still life models I also had to make UV maps of them and placed them into my scene. This was ai interesting  work because I'm still learning how to use the UV mapping. The only thing I don't understand is why I have the weird background texture but I plan on finding out.

Well, I have started a new class called Model Creation. This class takes what I have learned from 3DF Class and helps expand upon what I have learned. In this scene we had to create large props for the Medieval Scene. I had to build each piece separate compared to making it one piece. This way it would make the props look more realistic. This was very challenging to me compare to 3DF class. Instead of just modeling in 1 mode I also had to learn what 3 mode does and how to use holding edges.

This is my final project for class. I really loved the class it taught me things that I never thought I could do. My only problem is I'm not sure why all my assets are very dark. This time around I'm very proud of myself because I actually finish my final. Last time I was so frustrated and depressed about the class I wasn't able to finish. In the mean time I will continue to figure out how to do the Ambient Occlusion and the baking. More projects to come.

This week we had to learn how to clean up our geometry. This was very interesting to me because here I thought my assets or models was constructed well but some of them ended up with bad geometry. The exercise taught me that I need to watch how I create my assets. I'm so glad that Maya has a clean up feature in the program.

This is my work for week2 called Component Modeling. In class we had to take what we learned from last week and build upon blocking out the models. This week I learned how to used extrude and insert edge loop. These two tools are very useful because it can help create one object instead building everything in separate parts and the insert edge loop helps create more shape to the object.

Well, this was the first week of my 3D Foundation class. The first assignment or project was to block out our assets. This means we had to pick from a list of objects and build the models using basic shapes. These are my five models. I happened to pick a bottle stopper, a candlestick, a soda can, a jar and a drill. Praying for a good grade on this.

Well, the Holiday season is  over and now it's time to really press towards my goal. I actually start back to class tomorrow. Feeling nervous and anxiety all at the same time because I really want to do well in school. It was always a dream of mine to get a degree. I have a feeling this year will be achieving more goals than before.
