🌸~About my Genius Hour Project~🌸For my Genius Hour (GH) project I'll be trying to teach myself the basic's of 2-D/Drawing animation. The program i'll be using is called Clip Studio Paint (version EX). I chose this because I want to go into animation as a career and hopefully animating some of my own stories too. That being said my plan is to animate a tiny introduction scene of a character in a story i'm currently working on. I haven't gotten very far with the plot but the character in question is one of the main villains. The scene I have in mind will be showing off their abilities and their villain name, Masquerade. What I want to gain from this project is at the least the basics of animation along with some story/character building skills. I don't usually write down or fully finish my stories, just draw important scenes or the characters I made for the story. So i'm hoping this will help me improve on that even if it's just a little.

~My Weekly Goals~A few goals I have include finish at least one or two frames a week, learn a new trick or basics of animation, or do some story/character building. At least one of those 3 things if not all 3. |
🌸~How This Website is Set up~🌸
The home page is the introduction to my project. Sketches are any concept art or other drawings I've done of the character Masquerade and characters involved with her. Blogs are were ill be trying to upload weekly videos of my drawing process, whether its a frame for a story board (story board being rough sketch of frames for an animation) or just speed paints of characters or scenes. And story info is as said info about the story/Masquerade's part in the story.
About Clip Studio PaintPersonally I find the program easy to use and set up the settings to your preference. Plus along with being able to normally draw and animate, it also has different webtoon and manga canvas. So you might see some comic strips mixed in the sketches page.

Recording SoftwareClip studio provides a way to record and speed up a recording of your drawing process. But i'll still be looking for some kind of software just in case I wanna do something more complex.

Editing Software
I haven't had much time to look for something that works for my laptop (Microsoft Surface). But when I find some i'll put it here.

🌸~About Me~🌸
My name's Samantha, but I prefer Rae. I mentioned why I chose animation in the 'About my Genius Hour Project' section but, I'll further explain here. I've been drawing since elementary school and since then I knew I wanted to go into art as a career. But I couldn't ever figure out what I wanted to do, I though about fashion or graphic designing. But then I looked into animation and that's been my goal for a career since. Though I kept putting it off since I didn't have the software or time to learn how to animate. But now I have a better software for my laptop so I have no more reasons to procrastinate.
