Welcome to Animator Artist Life.  I'm David, I'm an animator, 3d artist and 2d motion designer that has worked in the industry for over 12 years. 

I've worked for a range of clients in different countries and run my own small animation studio in the UK.

As a break from client work I started a YouTube channel to offer free tutorials to anyone who is interested in getting into the industry.  I work as a generalist with a specialism in character animation.  As a generalist and studio owner I have to be able to take a project from storyboard to completion.   This involves a wide variety of skills from graphic design, 2d motion design, 3d modelling, rigging and a range of animation skills.   This is what I've based Animator Artist Life on.  Not just one skill or software, but a range you need that will help with employment into a real studio.

When I posed my first tutorials to YouTube and started getting messages of thanks and comments saying how they have helped, if felt great! I found it really rewarding.

It was then I thought it would be great to build a community of budding artists, designers, illustrator's and animators that I could maybe help and share.   I have since started a fast growing private Facebook group to be able to communicate with members, you can join here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/animatorartistlife
