Autobiography

My passion for drawing and animation started when I watched my first animation film - Spirited Away. I remember my mom putting it on for me when we were traveling and I was scared about being at a place that wasn't home, she put it on becausee she thought it'd distract me - it did. Ever since then I've grown a strong interest towards animations and drawings. I first started doodling with my finger on my iPhone 4 when I was in elementary school but I wasn't any good - I watched more animated shows with curiosity and a degree of jealousy. After I moved here from China, I started drawing more on my iPad with my finger, after 5 years of self-studying I finally improved and made a lot of art friends online who encouraged me to get better everyday. As of now, I am a verified digital content creator on the drawing app I used since middle school - HuaBar, and I was featured on the homepage 3 times. Animation class has helped me to be more comfortable with creating art in general and also experimenting with different forms of art medias. The applications I use most to create media at the moment are Adobe Animate, Adobe Photoshop, and Medibang Paint Pro. Right now I am most comfortable with 2D drawing, character design, and 2D animations. I plan to further these skills in the future and make works that are of amazing quality and unique ideas and achieve a sense of contrast in my works! In the future, I am also hoping to gain internship experiences in local companies such as Rooster Teeth to expand my skillset.

I am probably going to major in marketing during college as it is a good combination of communication, design and business!! I hope to further my interest in animation and 2D illustrations in the future.
