Animating, it's hard


I have a very strong love-hate relationship with animating. I love working really hard on it to see it finished, but I don't have the patience to sit still for a long period of time working on one thing. I would not call myself an animator. I made one animation and it looks awful. It's a marble soda Meme and it's the one and the only thing that
I have ever animated. Now I am fortunate enough to be able to use Adobe products and I made this by drawing the frames in Photoshop and sending them to Premiere Pro. This animation was made on a weekend and honestly, it is one of the most simple a shortest things you could ever make. At the time I was so proud of it. I put in on Youtube and everything. But looking back on it, it doesn't seem too good. That's totally fine though. If I were to remake that same animation today, it would look much better, even if I haven't done any animation since. My art had improved and I am much prouder of it. Maybe I will start animating again, but for now, I'm going to stick with drawing.

Art Supplies

As an artist, there are several different types of tools I use. Yes some of them can be expensive, but there are some cheaper alternatives. For example, I use Finecolour, TouchFive, and Prismacolor as alternatives to Copic alcohol based markers. There is a difference, but for beginning artists or artists with little money (like myself) they work fine. So here are some of the things I use in most of my drawings. If you couldn't tell, I use alcohol based markers. They can make traditional art look almost digital. Except for when the fine line decides it wants to bleed and ruin your freaking drawing. But it's just the type of fine lines I'm using. I know Copic makes fine liners and I'm sure there are other types of alcohol-based fine liners that won't make your pictures, that you spend hours on, bleed. There are other things that I use as well as markers. Gellpens, colored pencils, and washi tape are some other things that I use in drawings. Th...

My first musical - part one

This year is my first year taking any sort of drama or acting class. And so far, I love it. I've made so many new friends because of drama and I've become a much more confident person. My drama class has helped me in many different ways.  Every year, the drama program puts on a musical in the fall. Anyone can join, but you need to audition. So that's what I'm doing. I'm not necessarily hoping for a big part, I honestly could care less what part I get; I just want a part. It seems like fun. This Tuesday and Wednesday are try-outs. On Tuesday, we have to sing a song from a musical. On Wednesday, they teach us the choreography. I'm more worried about the singing part. You see, I wouldn't really say I'm the best singer, but I still want to try. I'm going to sing "Lifeboat" from the Heathers. It's simple, it's short. Now, you may be wondering, "Eli, what musical are you doing?" The Addams Family. Yes, there is a musical of t...
