National Film Board/Quickdraw Animation Society Production Scholarship.

OMG I’m so happy I got “National Film Board/Quickdraw Animation Society Production Scholarship” What it means? it means I’m a happiest girl in a world. When I was small I loved cartoons and wanted to make them one day, well now my dream will come true. Yes I did 2 animations and it felt great but now I can make my own independent cartoon , and boy I will work hard :) I’m incredibly thankful to Quickdraw to give me this opportunity. This is so big for me to get it.

Nesting Dolls #3

Here is the 3 version of Nesting dolls (Matryoshka) It is currently at “Motion Gallery” downtown Calgary, they are for sale . One of a kind I will never try to copy previous dolls. It is not my usual type of art so there won’t be a lot of them. Something really special from my Russian crazy soul to you :)

So here they are, colourful like me :) and a little bit spooky

Zombie Matryoshkas (Nesting dolls)

I got some blank Nesting Dolls recently and when I had mood for them I started to paint them. It is harder than it seems but not too bad, it was a lot of fun and thinking :) I’m Russian and Matryoshkas are one of the symbols in Russia and Europe so I thought to play with my imagination and symbolism I came up with this zombies.

They are one of a kind and I will show more later but this one is first :)

You need to see them and rotate to see all of their character and you can see them in “Motion” Gallery downtown Calgary (Canada).

Illustrator

For longest time I wanted to play with illustrator, and on Mothers day I got it. YAY

So for a week now I was trying to learn something online and I just got soo overwhelmed from excitement that I couldn't think where to start. Yesterday I took a moment and started again.

After some time I realized it is easier for me to colour in Photoshop, but I'm not giving up there is some cool stuff in Illustrator and I can’t wait to try it all.

So here is my little project Blue Kitty (my son helped me with colours, tanks Pashka)

So far this is easy way for me to do stuff, fist is a sketch in Photoshop

Then I made outline in Illustrator

And then full colour in Photoshop. I love smooth lines . AAAAA just too excited. Also I found out how to make some easy animation. So never know what will my next project will look like :)

Animation Lockdown

Last year I had a chance to go a look at animations made by groups of people, who are professional and not so much. I had a blast and I was wishing that one day I may be part of that awesome process.

This year I thought no way I’m ready, but with a great support of my family and friends I did it. I signed up for Animation Lockdown 

WOW I’m excited and scared and excited again. I know approximately what I want to do but I’m not good with technical part of this project. But I will have friends helping me and I’m pretty fast student when it comes to learning something I like. So it starts tomorrow and ends on Monday.

More pictures and stories later. Have a great weekend I know I will :)
