Jalil Rabaj - Art School Journey

[elturcoloco2010]

Hi, I'm a new student at Marc's Art School. I'm a 28 years old jack of all trades, master of none sadly, due to different jobs I've had in the past. I'm a 2D animator mainly nowadays, but I've also done inorganic 3D modeling in the past.

My goal it's to be able to do art and animation for videogames, I'm specially fond of the cartoonie aesthetic in games like Rayman Legends, Yooka-Laylee, Wonderboy The Dragon's trap (2017) and Iconoclasts.

I'm starting my journey a little bit late due to my job, and probably I will be going a little bit slow for the same reason, but I'm really excited to start learning all the contents, and I will be working hard to find time to work and improve.

PS: Since english is not my native language, sometimes I mess up sentences. Have patience with me please.

I'll leave the last image I made before starting with the program to have a starting point c:

In the last days I been working on the assignments for Nude Figure Drawing, something that had always been a struggle for me. Here're my results so far.

The gesture drawing one gave me flashbacks from when I was studying animation some years ago. It's always a fun activity, but I can't avoid getting nervous with the timer every time.

Wow! And now we have a working professional to put us all to shame here
Very impressive entry art. Looking forward to see how you approach the rest of the assignments and learn from you as well.

Thank you a lot! Though I'm not that good yet, I been working in so many different things that haven't had the chance to polish any skill so far.

That has always been my problem... a Jack of all trades, master of none. Guess at some point have to pick what brings you the most joy.
