#csssa animation application

wHOOOOOO your girl finished her application (ft. my animation)

I’ve been working non-stop the past few days to get this done, I hope you guys enjoy. I’ll write a few descriptions too! Feedback is also very appreciated, welcomed, encouraged, etc. So yeah! 

Here goes. Maybe I’ll even be accepted!

A. Living Vicariously - Digital

A drawing about how I become extremely emotionally invested in the media I consume. (Plus, my cat is there too.)

B. Visions of Sugarplums - Marker, Colored Pencil, Magazine Clippings

The conception of this piece began with my love for the magical girl genre. Shows of this genre were my first independent exposure to animation and comics. Similar to many artists my age, I realized my passion for drawing as a young child while sitting on the computer trying to draw the best anime eyes possible, inspired by my favorite magical girls. With my base in mind, I designed the rest of my collage, as well as the design of my magical girl, around an assortment of my favorite things and aesthetics; plants, fruit, food, and everything cute! My memories of watching magical girl shows and crafting my elementary school art projects will always stay with me, and I will forever appreciate and embrace their influence on my work.

C. Personal Work (2017-2018) - Various Mediums (Digital, Colored Pencil, Conté, Charcoal)

I feel like this is my weakest. I’ve never taken any art classes and I feel like the fact that I’ve only self studied really shows… It’s definitely not the greatest compared to every other applicant but hey, I’ve got spirit.

D. Rainy Days Are My Favorite - Pencil

My first time animating! I thought it turned out pretty cute. I wanted to do something more story based, but in the end I wanted to really show an understanding of motion.
