I've always drawn as a kid, so my mind's always been set on being an artist. I made a lot of comics before I learned of digital art. Soon I was on to animation! I've fallen in love with it, and it's amazing to be able to bring my drawings to life. Now, as 15 years old, my goal is to work in animation in the future.

I first realized that I wanted to work in the entertainment industry during my Junior year of High School (2020), and have been learning and creating ever since.

I have been drawing all my life but when I first realized that I wanted to make characters and stories was when I was in 6th grade.

Art is the love of my life. I’ve been in tune with my creative side for as long as I remember but when I was around 11 years old, I started really taking on my art as something I want to do for the rest of my life. Coming from a family of workaholics, I thought if I’m going to put a chunk of my life, energy, and heart into a professional career, it should be something that I can passionately put a great deal of time and effort in.

I don't know. It is something that I am good at and have fun doing.

When I was 10, I was introduced to Japanese animations. It fascinated me and I was immediately drawn to the art aspect of the animation. From then and on, I self-taught myself to draw, animate, and illustrate. In high I took a motion graphic course that introduced me to blender. Shows like arcane inspired me to work in the creative media industry. I wish to further expand my knowledge on 2d/ 3d animation, and be able to sufficiently utilize them in the future to support myself finically.

When I wanted to work on the creative media is when I was inspired by a minecraft youtuber, Now I upload video on my YouTube channel and want to blow up and act like I don't know nobody.

sophomore year of high school when i realized it was both what i was most skilled in and most passionate about. when i realized it was the best way to expend my creative energy, i set on it as a career

I have always wanted to work in a creative field - especially in film. I got inspired in middle school to learn and study animation.

In elementary school, I've always been artsy and really thrive off of creativity. Cartoons and comics I had been exposed to as a kid really enhanced my motivation to become an artist of sorts, even now I'm inspired by the many childhood shows I used to watch in the morning.

When I was younger I was more or less obsessed with cartoons and video games. After a while, I realized I wanted to create something much like those things I'd enjoyed, so I began taking steps to achieve that goal.

I realized I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I looked into development process of video games and animated movies years ago. It was always interesting to see how crew members worked together and the many ideas people made before deciding on the final design for a character or scene. I've been working on my character design and concept art skills and trying to convey a clear idea to a viewer of my work.

In middle school I started to gain confidence In my art and since freshman year of high school I've been interesting in pursuing a career in animation and art.

It was in my first Industrial Design course in my school that I learned about my passion for this field. Since that one class, I have taken 3 Industrial Design courses, 2 Engineering Design courses, and will be taking AP 3-D Design next year. On top of that, I took several product design classes on Saturdays to further my education. A catalyst for my design was self-teaching myself Autodesk Fusion 360. This allowed me to quick prototype all kinds of designs with perfect precision.

I've like drawing all my life but it was about a year ago that I decided i wanted to be an artist in a professional way, I have decided it is what I want to dedicate my life to

Animation and animated shows were my passion as a child. Recently, prior to Covid quarantine, thanks to a friend I rediscovered this passion: I ended up enjoying this media way more than expected, binge watching several series, mostly anime. The more I watched these shows, the more I found myself analyzing and critically appreciating the fascinating work that lays behind them.

Never really thought of it til recently, but I have been doing 3D animation for about a year now on maya

Recently became interested in the creative industries
