| My name is Jay. I'm 22 and I want to pursue my dream of doing 2d animation. I have been doing art since about the age of 5. All through elementary school I would sit in class and draw pictures while the teacher was teaching the lesson. I rarely paid attention. I did this for awhile but by early high school I stop drawing all together. I would draw here an there(maybe like once a month) but thats about it. By the time I finished school I completey lost interest in art. All I did was work low end jobs, sleep all day and play videogames. By the age 19 I started searching forums and reconized people had kool graphics under there name when they'd post. At the time I didn't know that these were called signatures and they can be made. One day I asked a friend on a forum where did he get the image that shows when he post. He told me he made it hisself and thats the first time I was introduced to photoshop. I went to youtube and looked up videos about free downloads for image making programs. I ran into gimp which I used for a good 5 to 6months. After mastering Gimp people told me I'd be better off using PS. I couldn't afford that so I went around asking Art college students do they have a PS they can upload to my cpu. One said yeah blah blah blah blah blah lol. Basically that was 3 years ago. I've been making signatures on and off and drawing on and off since I was 19. Now I'm 22 going on 23. I probably could have been better If I had been persistant instead of drawing on/off. Right now I'm working at Toys R Us and I have a newborn baby girl thats 4months old. I also go to school part time at a community college. I still would like to pursue my art dream and attend SCAD(Savannah College of Art and Design) but unfortunately I dont have like $10,000 PER QUARTER FOR 4YEARS! So in the mean time I just make these photoshop drawings in my spare time for fun. Hopefully one day I can work for Disney. But right now I'm just a poor old starving artist lol. |
