Sketchbook: Mandito

mandito

Hello, I'm a second year animation student in California. I used to have a Conceptart.org Sketchbook called IBASAW I had that one since I was like 8 years old. I went through a lot of ups in downs (I went through the foster care system in PA, and even dropped out of college once while I had a full scholarship for illustration.) I flew out to California and worked a bunch of jobs my first year, to fight my housing insecurity. (I messed up and put off-campus on my application.) 

And now schools over and I'm now in my second year and I'm so grateful for everything in my life and that I'm still alive.

I don't have any physical place to put my drawings, doodles and school artwork so I've created this to store all of my work.

Thanks for dropping by, and wish me luck I'll be posting some of my first year work on here.

Update, my school is charging full price for tuition during COVID I hate it here and I'm going to work on a portfolio to do one of two things with. 1. To transfer to a better program closer to Los Angeles or 2. To just throw caution to the wind and get an animation job without a degree. 

Whichever one of these happens first doesn't matter to me, as long as one of them happens.

Here's some work from last semester and a WIP redesign of Padme Amidala for a 2D animated Star Wars concept I was fantasizing about.
