This first image is a traditional painting of a branch that I did in ANI 113B. I exaggerated the colors a little bit to make it a bit more colorful and saturated.
This is a painting I did in 112B. The palette I chose for this Flemish still life was full saturation with primary colors straight from the tube to the canvas. There is a bit of white and mixing of colors. I call this painting "Acid Trip".
This is a pencil piece that I completed in my first class at SJSU: ANI 12.
This was my final animation in ANI 28. I hope to get better.
My name is Daniel Chen and this is my seventh semester at SJSU. I have taken all the lower division animation/illustration classes and just recently passed the portfolio review. I am now taking ANI 114 and ANI 51B, along with this class. The science classes I have taken are few and far between. I have taken Chemistry, Biology and Physics, but only at the rudimentary level. I've never cared much for science and found most of the classes to be too dry and boring. I'm sure in the right context I will be able to appreciate it more. At the moment I do not know what I want to do. I seem to be proficient in only painting some landscapes and drawing heads. My figures, animation and computer modeling skills need a lot of work and I hope to do just that. If I had to choose right now what I would want to do in the industry, I would probably say comic book writer and artist.
