Learning to use blender opened up a world of digital art I was unaware I was capable of. For my project, I was inspired to create a flower and 2 bees to accompany it. Throughout the process, I came across many challenges although classmates and tutorials guided me around the issues. Using blender, I learned that there are many paths one can take to arrive at the same destination which is valuable in the digital art realm and as a life lesson. I used two different techniques when creating my characters, one being realism and the other being true cartoon animation. I used features like image texture, riggify, shape keys, UV editing, weight painting, modeling, and sculpting to mold them into what they are today. While learning in class is ideal, it was empowering to teach myself some tricks on my own through personal research and which led me to even teaching Ethan something! Managing this project on my own for a lot of the process has given me confidence within blender to continue exploring the possibilities of what I will be able to create in the future. Acknowledging my skill from the beginning of the project compared to what I know now is extremely rewarding.
