MY 2D JOURNEY (2021-2023)

by Monima on 1 Jun 2023 for Rookie Awards 2023

Welcome to a fun yet professional documentation of my 2D Digital Art journey so far! (Post college) I really want to get more into animation, but that doesn’t mean I won’t fire out the odd sketch every so often. Come, stay a while. Find out what you want to know and save all questions for after the show.

MY 2D ROOKIES JOURNEY

(2021 - 2023)

In this video I created, I go over the various challenges, styles, and lessons I faced in my 2D Digital Art journey.

After I left college in 2019, I wanted to continue to teach myself concept art, and storyboarding through a digital medium.

I purchased the photoshop package and started by drawing characters from shows I enjoyed such as DreamWorks’ She-Ra and demons like those from Helluva Boss

(Both images from Summer of 2021)

I set up an Instagram page where I could post any progress I made to keep track of where I needed to improve and what my strengths were.

I even posted breakdowns of some more detailed pieces I finished.

(A final piece I completed and posted 2nd February 2023)

While I do like to work REALLY hard on one big project and see it through, every once in a while I also enjoy tiny doodles and sketches to keep the mind going and the followers happy.

To help with this, I developed a simple and repeatable art style that saves time while also looking very solid.

(Various quick sketches from 2023)

I have also dipped my metaphorical toes into the big-boy pool that is 2D animation by using a free trial of Adobe animate. While my skills are currently very limited, I can’t wait to keep learning!
