Got my first grade...

Edit: Was posin Stu...Need a lot of practice but felt quite comfortable with the hot keys. Man they make it so much faster......glad the videos showed em. Anyways, same pose different angles...I gotta get use to the 3d thing....craziness!!!!! Anywho, till next post.....PEACE!!!!!;oP


So I start off with an A. It was an easy A,( I know...an A is an A!!;OP) all I had to do was set up my profile, upload an avatar (a pic of me) and tell the class why I was at A.M during the Q&A. The last one was the hardest....being a relatively shy person and new to the whole web cam thing. I was soooo nervous. I'm finding out how much this stuff runs thru my blood. Every night I try to get some learning in and when I'm done.....it never leaves my mind. It's hard to go to sleep. I catch myself constantly thinking about animation.....think I'm goin crazy!!;OP I'm hopin to go to the park with the kids sometime soon so I can work on some drawings for the next assignment. I want to post it on A.M. by Weds to see what people think. Then I'll pick the best pose and put Stu in it over the weekend. At least that's my plan...we'll see how it goes! heehee
Anyways, when I get some of the work done I will post it here too. Till Then....PEACE!!!!

First Q&A

Wow!! That was crazy! My stomach was in knots the whole time! Everyone in the class was cool. I have to say though, I felt like the only person who was completely new to this. I took a screen shot pic but didn't know if I was allowed to post that stuff. So I just didn't. Dave Burgess is bad a@#! He's worked on sooo much stuff! The class set up was pretty sweet! I loved the way it flowed and how the mentor had complete control. Anyways, after our intros we didn't have much time. I think we got off 3 questions and that was it. It was amazing how fast time flew! I look forward to the upcomin Q & A's and working with my class mates. Can't believe I'm there......butterflies in my stomache need to go away! ;O) Anyways, till next post.......PEACE!!!!
