Adding Video/Scribd Presentation Practice Post

After our Blogger FAQ's today, I decided to go along with what Phil suggested and practice embedding a video and making/embedding a Scribd presentation to my Blogger. I am slightly worried that my blog might too much of a 'theme' which was mentioned today. If anyone who reads this could leave a comment letting me know what they think I'd appreciate it. If my blog seems to have too strong of a theme I'll redesign it. The current design has to do with my sister's artwork so to me it isn't a specific theme but I know other people might see it differently.

Anyway, I found this animation 'Vagabond' a few months ago and really enjoyed it so I chose to share it since 'Steadyfast Stanley' was already posted on the main CAA blog.

I also liked how my Scribd presentation turned out of my Summer Project. I admit I could have rearranged the thumbnails in a better way but since this is just a practice post I didn't want to drive myself mad with making it perfect.

Summer Project 2015

I'm very excited to start our first project on Monday, I've begun reading about the 'Invisible Cities' and a lot of them sound very interesting. I'm looking forward to learning more about the project on Friday and getting some advice from people who are on this course/have graduated.

Practice Post

Since I'm very excited to start the Computer Animation Arts course, I've decided to start off this new blog with a practice post to help me get the hang of Blogger again. It took me a long time to sort out a basic look for my new blog, which is similar to my old one I used for my Foundation year (just for something to start out with). I'm going to post a few things I've been working on over the summer so I can practice making posts since I seem to sometimes struggle with it, especially when I haven't used my blogs in a while. None of these are in any particular order, I just organized them in a way that I thought looked decent. I might end up deleting this post, I just wanted to remind myself how to do all of this.

A really quick life drawing, I made her arm too long but I still like this piece.

Unfinished digital painting of Daenerys Targaryen...I actually got really bored of this after I did most of the dragon's head. Not too happy with it anyway, might be the colours.

I found doodling random things on this whiteboard really fun...Breaking Bad, Bulldog, and Youtuber Sips. 

Think that's everything that's somewhat worth posting, which took me a lot longer than it should have. I forgot how temperamental Blogger seems to be sometimes especially with images. Interesting to see it because it's all a lot more light-hearted subjects compared to what I normally choose to draw. It's good to try different things though, so I'm happy with it. Now to start working on ideas for those 101 thumbnails...
