I’ve always loved anime, been watching it for over 30 years now. The skill and dedication of Japanese animators has always inspired me. They bring such wonderful worlds to life. I found out early I suck at drawing lol. As a kid you don’t see the benefit of repeating a task and failing over and over. Its not seen as a learning experience just failing which leads to frustration. Drawing quickly lost its appeal unfortunately. I became interested in CG and 3D modelling in my teens. At this time though, learning 3D modelling wasn’t an option at school for me. So the dream takes a backseat and life takes over. However, now in my 41st year on planet earth. I have time to dedicated myself to learning 3D modelling and Blender being a free program gives me this opportunity. The instructors on CG cookie have taught me a great deal in a short amount of time. I’m still very much a beginner but a good foundation for understanding the fundamentals is provided here. My hope is within a year to make a short 2-3 minute animation with characters I’ve created and animated. I’m late to the party, hopefully this old dog can learn some new tricks.
