Future stuff by Sidh
Early next year I’m hoping that I’ll have successfully applied to study a Bachelor of Creative Arts in Animation
The prerequisites are very basic, you basically just need to be over 21 and have finished high school
You also don’t need any prior experience with animation or design, or even be any good at drawing, which thankfully I believe (hope) I am. They believe that if you’re passionate enough, then they can teach you all you need to know throughout your studies.
Buuuut I still feel really self conscious about showing up with nothing but pretty hair and a winning smile when I put in my application, so for the rest of the year, and the first month of next year, I’m going to at the very least be putting together a sketch portfolio of character designs just so I have something to show for myself, maybe it’ll improve my chances, y’know?
This’ll make me a little more inactive than usual on my art sites, forums, and blogs, when it comes to posting art. But I’ll be uploading the odd portfolio sketch to my sidhenearlahi tumblr blog.
I know I'm already pretty damn inactive so this is just gonna make things worse for the next few months, but then I start university and it'll be EVEN WORSE, but after that things should get better and I might even have cool new content to show for it! And my future will look far less boring too :P

Oh I have! In high school, animation made a brief and pretty barebones appearance. I enjoyed what little I was able to do, unfortunately I went to a very rural school with teachers that either didn't care because they were only there to fulfill their three years of mandatory rural teaching before they could get a job somewhere important, or were teaching classes they had no idea how to teach because there were so few others there to do it, so I wasn't able to learn much more there.
Thankfully this course is as good a place as any to really start learning properly, given that it's supposed to start from zero knowledge and build up from there. My roommate goes to the same university, studying music, and he told me that they start off every course in a way that sometimes feels like they assume all the students have never even sat in front of a computer before :P

I like those kind of courses, enables to take it easy early.

Cheers! I'd suggest you also try animation by yourself a bit too, it could spare you a lot of time if you end up hating it.
