Animated A-Z: Kiting

Quite a cute and simple one for this letter, apparently there aren’t many adjectives beginning with K! So here’s my 11th letter, K for Kite. I wanted to try and get this looking slightly realistic with the string getting slack as the kite loses hight. It’s quite subtle but I think it works well! I only used

And we’re back!

We’ve been back in the full swing of London life for two whole weeks now! Though it’s only now that I’ve found the time to sit down and write this blog post. Our (Nic and I) mini travel/jaunt around Spain was wonderful. We visited Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and finally a relaxing stop in Ibiza. The

I’m off on holiday!

I’m off travelling around Spain tomorrow! Nic and I are going away for two weeks. We’re visiting Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Ibiza, and very very excited. I’ll be doing a photography post when I get back! If you fancy keeping up to date with me then you can follow my daily photography blog! I’ll be back

Animated A-Z: Jellyfish

This is probably the best animation I’ve done, but coincidentally it’s probably the least ‘alphabet like’ of any of the letters! It’s J for Jellyfish! So I’m so pleased with this animation. Bonus points if you’ve already spotted the two cheeky fish! The hardest part of this animation was getting it to loop, but I

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta!

Yesterday Nic and I took a trip to Bristol to go to the hot air balloon fiesta! It’s an event I’ve been meaning to go to for the longest of times… Last weekend I happened to enquire about the date and found out it was the following Sunday. We had that day free, so we thought, why

Animated A-Z: Ignite

Say what? Two blog posts in one week? I am on fire! This weeks animated letter is I for Ignite, and it’s smoking… Okay, it’s not technically being ignited, but still, I’m happy! This weeks animation took me around 2/3 hours to complete. I used this flame tutorial for the basis and learnt a lot of good stuff

Close-up of Nature

Last Christmas, my lovely boyfriend, Nic, bought me a miniature set of lens’ for my phone. I immediately fell in love with them (and him a bit more) as they were so adorable and easy to use. Due to the macro lens included, I also swiftly fell in love with close-up photography of flowers all over again. The first time

Animated A-Z: H2O

Filled up to the brim with water, it’s H for H2O! And with that, I’m over a third of the way through my animated alphabet! I wanted to practise shape merging for this one, and a simple mask of the letter H. The hardest part of this one was how short it had to be, so

Animated A-Z: Glow

It’s another animated letter, a glowing hot G! Man, this animation has taken me the longest so far. After working my way through two other failed attempts, Grow and Grim, I finally settled on Glow! This animation took me a total of about half an hour of fiddling, but it’s all the prep work that

Animated A-Z: Float

Bobbing along the ocean, trying not to sink, it’s my next animated letter, F for Float! Slightly delayed, but I’m pleased with this animation! It seems to be becoming a theme that I spend a long time on an animation which I end up scraping for something that takes me just over two hours. At the
