I have graduated yesterday! I did it! Bachelor of Arts Honour in Illustration with 2:1! Three years of hard work in university, now i've got a degree! Yay. I was quite nervous in the morning, thinking i have bit of stage fright, worrying i could trip over, might forgot what i was suppose to do? But it was all great! Done well.

"Working drawings for animation : Animating takes a certain type of passionate obsession! Laura has a natural affinity with moving images and seeks every opportunity to bring her illustrations alive.

Finally finished the animation and is ready for the show. I even got a little emotional at the end, i thought this will be good in show, hopefully.

Scene 7/9. The quickest scene out of all. Now i'm off to bed.

Scene 6/9. I'm taking a little break, just writing this blog, it's nearly midnight, i'll probably be done by 1 o'clock and go to bed.

I have been get every work together and checked if i have everything ready for final assessment, plus i had presentation to my lecturers. Everything is done, now the next thing is build the show for Degree Show soon.  All done for summative assessment and presentation is done today. 👏👏👏

Starting the second A2 drawing. Done in about 3 hours. 👌

I finally started the first A2 drawing, so 3 more to go.

Half way to completing this animation for fmp|degree show. This actually taking long time to make each scene. Yet, i haven’t start 4 A2 drawings. 😰

I did some photoshoots of my sculptures, so i can use this professional look photographs for my portfolio.
