Over the past week I have been learning new things more than I have been doing. The only thing I have to show is that I am working on some new concept art of the characters, starting with Finn. It is really important that you draw your character in multiple poses before you put in the work. That way you know how the character will look like from multiple angles. I didn’t do this in the past and I had an obscenely hard time figuring out what characters looked like. But now I am trying to fix that problem by doing that beforehand.

But really that isn’t the biggest thing that I did this past week; that I can’t show. I have been learning how to use various software, particularly Adobe products. I have access to the suite and figured that Escape Industries and my other projects could use it. So I set off to learning After Effects and a bit of Premiere. Luckily, I have access to Lynda.com so I spent a large chunk of my time over there just learning and soaking in all of the tutorials and videos they have. I still am in the process of learning these things so, again, I don’t have anything to show. But hopefully soon I should have something to show you guys as I really excited to put some things into practice!

But all of this begs the question, why do I need this skill for Escape Industries?
