My name's Rachael and I'm from the south coast of England . Last
year I studied at De Montfort on the Foundation in Art and Design course which
was a hell of a lot of fun.
For pretty much all my life I've considered art to be 'just
a hobby' and it never even crossed my mind to pursue it in higher education
until I'd received my university acceptance letters to study Philosophy and
Psychology and suddenly had a change of thought. So BANG everything turns
around, I'm on a different path but this time it really felt like the right one.
I did the Foundation course to expand my skills because
pretty much all that my drawings had consisted of up until then was copying
portraits of film and TV characters from my laptop. And it did the job. I tried
so many new things and found that I thoroughly enjoy life drawing and would
love to do more.
Originally I hadn't planned to continue studying at DMU but
the Game Art Design course really attracted my attention. I loved the attention
to detail, the realism of it, the fact I could create artwork that was actually
part of an industry.
Problem is I have near to nil digital experience work. I've
only tried out my tablet a couple of times here and there, my version of
Photoshop is 'vintage' as said by my friends and I've never even looked at a 3D
program.
But here I am. It's going to be tough. Super tough. I found
that out on the very first day. But it's going to be great fun and I'm going to
learn so much, I can tell.
