First Day

So, 3 days into my induction week at Uni, and things are starting to get rolling.
 Today we were taught how to make a Blog (voila, let me know what you think once I have some more posts up) and got taught all about how to use the learning space and about our university email addresses.
 Yesterday we had to draw the people we were sitting next to, as an ice breaker of sorts, which was fun, and I got to draw Ben, who im fast becoming good friends with, though I could have done with some more time to correct the hair in my drawing.
We also got shown how to use a line tester and were given 12 blank post-card sized bits of card. The first card was a simple plain circle, and we had to slowly over the course of the 12 frames change the circle into another shape. Then we will use the line tester to take photos of each frame, and then reverse the frames.
 So mine is a circle turning into an eye and then closing. So hopefully if things go to plan mine shall morph from a circle into an eye and then blink and morph back to a circle. All in all this should produce a second or two of animation. I have finished drawing my frames in pencil with some biro two, and I shall stitch it into an animtaion later today. Once it is complete I shall have a go at uploading it onto here so you may all view it.
We also got assigned a project for next wednesday to do roughly twenty drawings of toys. The project title is Toy Story, and we need to get a toy and draw it indifferent settings. I have gathered my Sonic Screwdriver and my monkey teddy and will be beginning the first drawing shortly after I have  written this post. Then I shall read something we were assigned for animation history which should be intersting. So sorry about the length of this first post, but I shall shorten them in future by having regular posts.
