Summary

Hi, I am an undergraduate in Game Design at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

I am a self-taught artist ever since then I have been drawing on paper. Currently, I am interested in game design art or animation internships that would help me to build on and improve my skill set to break into the industry and workplace. I have used various software related to animation such as Adobe Ps and TV Paint Animation.
I am also interested to explore and learn more about other software that other artists use in the production of animation.
