My quest is not only to learn photoshop, but also Maya, and layout too. I've normally concentrated on creating character designs and getting proportions right - my books I write are basically one big preproduction plan for animations I want to do one day, so I guess its go figure that most of my drawings are preproduction drawings for my stories! If I can get the hang of creating fine-art pieces with backdrops, I'll be a very happy girl. This is the layout I did for my first year of animation, and was one of the only layouts I have ever done!! I was proud of myself that day; I have a new respect for layout artists that I never really thought about before I tried it myself. Think characters are what I will stick to, though! x
