My Portfolio

Hello, thank you for checking out my blog page and reaching my portfolio. My name is David Young, I'm currently studying Computer Arts and Design, Year 2 at Dundee College, in Scotland.

I've always been doodling cartoons, as far back as I can remember.

In fact, one of my first ever memories from when I was a young boy was drawing pictures of Sonic The Hedgehog.

As a youngster, I was fascinated with cartoons and comic books, I'd draw and copy them all the time. Then I branched out and started drawing my own characters. They would just pop into my mind. I'd jot them down before they escaped, store them. Who knew years down the line, I'd be able to bring my stories to life!

I spent the better part of two years creating an idea in my head. I put this idea onto paper. I began with creating short comic books when I was 17 but they never really stood out to me. My drawings were simply still images, frozen. I needed to bring them to life through movement. This is where I began studying animation.
