I have taken Digital Media and English as well as my elective class, Animation. Here, I have been able to explore many new programs and mediums, eventually creating a portfolio that I am proud of. Before Freestyle, I had only used traditional mediums. I have Freestyle to thank for pushing me out of my comfort zone and exposing me to digital art, which I am now very passionate about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of freestyle, I enjoy oil painting and drawing with charcoal. I have also been experimenting with digital art and poster design in my free time. Additionally, I love fashion and thrifting interesting pieces as well as going out with my friends to explore a new city or try different foods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall, I will be attending the University of Santa Barbara, California, and am currently undecided as to what my major will be. I hope to go into a job that will allow me to utilize the creative skills that I have cultivated at Freestyle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for taking the time to review my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3D Modeled Sword <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first project is a 3D model of a sword and scabbard inspired by the swords used during the Qing Dynasty. This was created with Maya, Zbrush, and Substance Painter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-render-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-547\" width=\"792\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-render-1.png 966w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-render-1-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-render-1-768x367.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-render-1-125x60.png 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><figcaption>No background weapon render<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-548\" width=\"794\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render.jpg 1972w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-1536x868.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-106x60.jpg 106w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/weapon-shipyard-render-840x473.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><figcaption>Weapon render with background<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found our 3D modeling unit to be the most difficult unit so far, and I especially struggled with the program ZBrush. However, I was able to improve a lot since the first couple of models I created and this is my favorite thing I have sculpted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;The Wolf&#8217;s Journey&#8221; 2D Animation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My second project is also my Zenith final project, a short story conveyed through 2D animation. This was created with Procreate and Adobe After Effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2160\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2160;\" width=\"3840\" controls src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/JulieB-Zenith-2.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>2D animation short story<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project was definitely out of my comfort zone since I had only done short clips of 2D animation previously. I really enjoyed playing around with different colors and textures throughout the process of creating this. This project taught me a lot about animal anatomy and also motivated me to keep improving my animation skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Mediums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started using traditional mediums when I was really young. I began with pencil primarily and slowly worked my way up to pastels, oil paints, and many other mediums. I believe the skills I developed through traditional mediums made the transition into digital art much smooter. These are some of my favorite works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-755x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-755x1024.jpeg 755w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-221x300.jpeg 221w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-768x1041.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-1133x1536.jpeg 1133w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-1511x2048.jpeg 1511w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-44x60.jpeg 44w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_7117-1-scaled.jpeg 1888w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><figcaption>Young Aspirations (pastel pencil)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-756x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-756x1024.jpeg 756w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-222x300.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-768x1040.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-1135x1536.jpeg 1135w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-1513x2048.jpeg 1513w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-44x60.jpeg 44w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JulieB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_2297-1-scaled.jpeg 1891w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption>Conformity (oil paint)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my time at Freestyle, these two projects encompass much of what I have learned in Animation and also focus on skills I want to keep developing well into the future. 3D modeling was something brand new to me and at first, was very intimidating since I consider myself to not be so tech-savvy. Although I did run into a lot of issues, I discovered how rewarding it is to sculpt something I&#8217;m proud of. The 3D modeling unit unlocked a new door for me and I now feel that there are endless possibilities for what I can create. I hope to further my knowledge by learning Blender and combining 2D and 3D art in future projects. 2D animation is also a skill I am very happy to have been introduced to in this class. I had a rough start since I only had experience in realism and did not know how to simplify my art into an animation-friendly style. To solve this, I taught myself digital art in the summer of 2021. Sadly, this was after our 2D animation unit was already over, so I was really glad to be able to apply my newly acquired skills to &#8220;The Wolf&#8217;s Journey&#8221;. I have already started my next 2D animation project and am looking forward to improving as I keep producing. Freestyle has shown me the many different forms of art I have yet to explore and given me the tools to do so. With my knowledge of Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter, and the Adobe Programs, I can continue bringing the concepts I envision in my head to life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction My name is Julie Broch and I am a student at Freestyle Academy.
