year of professional experience
In summary most of my experiences are from classes that I've taken from Glendale Community College (GCC). I've taken nearly all classes in the art department which include, Drawing for Animation, Introduction to Animation, Fundamentals of Art I, II, and III, Character Design, and Digital Illustration to learn as much as I can. As for my experiences outside of school, I’ve been drawing and making things since I was a little kid, and I've practiced constantly to get better. I have worked with both digital and traditional sketchbooks and have created multiple art pieces which you will find in my portfolio, mostly focusing on character concepts and world-building. A lot of the work that I have presented is conceptual drawings for characters and settings. These are settings that I have created over a good couple of years. My process for creating them isn't just about drawing or limited to character conceptions; I spend a lot of time writing the backstories and researching real-world history, philosophy and mythology to make the settings feel real.
