Hello! This is Chi-an Yang. I am a second year student at SJSU, majoring in Animation/Illustration program. I have taken art courses about perspectives, storyboarding, figure drawing and traditional animation. Also, when I was at community college, I had some anatomy and biology classes as well. Right now, I am getting into the area of 3D animation, trying to learn more professional techniques and skills. I am interesting in visual development and storyboarding, but animation is also one of my favorites.
The first piece is called “The Cube City” from my Ani12 (Light& Optics) class. I spent four days on this piece trying to get the atmosphere and lighting work.
The second piece is the final for my Ani55 (figure drawing) class. We had to choose an artwork from the professional as a reference to show our knowledge on anatomy. It is done by charcoal on a tonal paper.
There are some location studies from my personal sketchbook. It is done by markers because I forced myself to solve problems without using erasers or white out.
Finally, two videos down below is a brick
drop practice and a short animation I did in the traditional animation class.
