RE: Animation | It's the Little Things that Count (Observation)
I have a daughter that wants to study animation. She draws really well, and has her head in the clouds so this may be her future vocation.
What can you suggest for her? Keep practicing? Specific schooling?
Thanks for the post regardless though, it will be good to share with her
Well, there are a few things you can do.
Definitely Keep Sketching. Drawing is the most fundamental and basic skill to have when it comes to anything art/creative. Instead of just scribbling on a piece of art block, maybe give her a picture and ask her to draw it. Could be an object or a human figure.
Play with software. She can download a free 3D software called blender and watch some tutorials on youtube for beginners. She can start off by learning how to model a 3D object from scratch. Shouldn't be something complicated, something simple like a snowman or a simple spaceship.
Schooling. Find out whether the area you live in have local art/3d academy for her to take short courses during summer break. When she's really serious into it and have decided to pursue this as a career. Find a university that offers a 3D course.
Thank you for the advice. She draws all the time and is getting really good at it too
I will pass on the advice and get her moving. Thanks mate.
Would enjoy seeing some of your work however.
