First Blog

Hi,
My name is Lia and I am a sophomore at UT majoring in animation. I'm from Bethesda, Maryland (right outside D.C.) and I came to UT because I love Florida and the students and faculty on campus are very genuine and welcoming. I decided to major in animation because I have a passion for movies and tv shows. I want to be a CGI/3D character animator more specifically, and I got my inspiration from Marvel films, Game of Thrones, and Disney movies (such as the new Lion King and The Jungle Book).
FMX 210 will be my first digital arts class, and I'm very excited to learn about how different styles of art are combined with technology. I expect that this class will help me get a better understanding of how various types of software work and how they help generate art that is seen throughout our daily lives (such as films, ads, etc.). I'm excited to work on each project this semester, as they seem to be unique from one another and will allow me to be freely creative. Ultimately I hope to better my skills in drawing digitally, as well as my knowledge on different types of software, so that I can incorporate those skills into my work as an animator.

Coming into this class, I had no experience with Adobe and editing, and now I feel pretty comfortable creating my own digital projects. I'd like to thank professor Roundtree for helping me learn and giving me feedback on my work so that I can further improve my creative works, and excel in my career path.

I did not copy the calligram directly over a preexisting image (because I was having issues uploading an image and I did not know how to get rid of it after I were to finish the calligram), but I did use images of clownfish and blue tangs as references (posted down below). I drew the outlines of the fish with the pen tool, and then added the type on path tool to add the words "just keep swimming". I chose the text colors according to the colors of the fish. I also drew different shapes within the fish with the pen tool so that their  details are noted (fins, gills, patterns, etc.). I drew their eyes with the ellipse tool, one in black and a white one on top. I also used the ellipse tool to create the bubbles, filling them in with a gradient blue fill to make them look like they have some sort of dimension. I chose a blue blue backgrou...
