Who Am I?

I am a teen trying to break out into animation, as well as film in general, and suck at introductions. Lately I have created a large number of drawings, small doodles like the one above, and have developed an art style I enjoy developing. I use sharpies, drawing paper, and pastel to create these doodles then scan them, and sharpen the images in Photoshop. I feel if I expand to a digital art the quality of these drawings could improve tremendously. Reason for my choice in digital art is I have aspirations to create animations, as well as comic strips, of these characters I create in the hopes of building a portfolio to help in the upcoming college years, and hope to incorporate this hobby into a future career.  


Where Does Funding Go Towards?

This campaign is set at $1000 due to the specific drawing tablet I am hoping to acquire, the Wacom Brand Cintiq 13hd. The reason I am aiming for this tablet is due to to its portability as well having a screen to help in animating. Having used Adobe Flash with a mouse this tablet would be a great step up, gaining more control over brush and pen strokes.  

If the goal is not met I would use the acquired funds to put towards the tablet, or try and acquire a tablet that's similar in functionality, but lower in price. Since I am not a professional artist I can offer a small random doodles with notes for contributions, and anything else feel free to contact me to work something out. As far as the doodles are concerned they are in the same style seen in the gallery, can be sent as scanned image or the original, whichever method you would prefer. I greatly appreciate any contributions made, and if none are made well it was great to take a chance.  If by some small chance I exceed funding by a relatively large amount, I will most likely put some money towards a college saving, donate some to charity, and would be open to any suggestions, assuming that even happens.

The Impact

I would improve tremendously in my work if this campaign is successful, as I can finally start to build a portfolio of animation  to branch out to new internships, and colleges in the upcoming months. As with any new medium I would take the time to hone my skills with the tablet, and hope to venture out into new art styles. My dream is to be an animator to incorporate my love for film in a fun way, not only to have fun, but challenge my skills in screenwriting, drawing, and video editing. It seems everyone breaking out into animation would want to become as successful as someone like Don Hertzfeldt, Ralph Bakshi, or Matt Groening, albeit that is something I would love to achieve I would be happy in just having this new hobby, and if I could make a living from my new hobby that would be amazing too. Like any other campaign you are taking a chance on someone you don't know, I understand the need to be hesitant in supporting someone new, and with that said I hope you can take a chance in helping me open new doors in life.

Risks & Challenges

The only challenges would be meeting the funding goal, but as I previously said any contribution is greatly appreciated. If you are curious in knowing whether or not the funds actually went towards acquiring the tablet I would be more than happy to post proof of purchase on the campaign page, along with photos of purchasing the product, as well as the actual product itself when it arrives.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't fund this project that's fine I would greatly appreciate you spreading the word in any way you can. If this campaign does not succeed, whether I acquire not enough funding or none at all, It's great just to put these small sketches out there in the world, and if you spread the designs around to people to generate interest, that's awesome too. If you read through all of this I greatly appreciate the time taken, and thank you so much for any help you offer or simply reading this.
