LAUAN602 - Study Task 1 - Who Am I Now? The trilogy.

Who am I now?

I am a character designer, with other skills including clean up doing lineart and 2D animation. I specialise in character design as this is something I enjoy doing and it is something I am good at doing. When considering my clean up skills, I am quick with line art and I do it to a slandered. My animation skills have improved and feel comfortable to say I am an animator. As I have a specialism in character design, this is the path I plan on following for my future. I am active on twitter, instagram and I do have a linked in account but I am less active on it. I feel I need to be a lot more active on each account this year as It is my final year. Last year In a presentation I stated I would be active on my social media, which I have not upheld. This year I plan to hold myself to that statement.
