1. Introduction

Watching movies, animation and cartoon have been my hobby ever since I was a little kid. I grew up watching those films and acquiring one or two things that gradually build my personality to be who I am now, and even now I am still learning things from it. Seeing the character move and living their life on the screen with their own unique story is very much absorbing and relaxing. Its interesting stories it tells each have something special that stuck on our mind, leaving us to question things and wondering what will happen next and what if something else happened instead.

Besides watching movies, I also like to read interesting stories from fairy tale kind of books to comic books specifically manga, comics from japan. I took a lot of interest in manga out of all story books, because I personally liked the art style, is easy to read and it have a lot of images. From here I realized that I am more to a visual person.

Drawing is also one of my hobby even now, and I am holding this manga style because of the influence from manga and anime that I enjoyed a lot as a kid and the one that I liked the most. Because I adore the character so much I started to draw them on paper and at the back of my notebook as a child, and at that time the most influential movie for my age which is around 7 is anime which is a Japanese animation film, and I keep getting hooked up to anime and continuing reading the manga book as well. Thus my drawing style that I liked to draw is Japanese comic style, but since I got some basic drawing skills I can still be able to draw other style as preferred.

During my study process in Animation Design course at Raffles Collage of Higher Education from 2015 until now, I have learned a lot about the detail progress of animation making and work division of it.

 There is this Pre-production, In-production and Post-Production division. Pre-production is consisted of Producers or original author who made the main story, this is the first step to make an animation because we will be doing works mainly based on this story, and then we continue to Directors division who made the script, storyboards, character design, background design and other element that is needed to start the animation. In-production division is where they started to really construct the animation, in 2D animation, they would have lay out designer, key animator, in-between, clean-up, digital painters and special effect artist, these parts have to be done in sequence in order to do everything efficiently. Lastly, there is Post-production where the editing, voice record, music, sound effect and dubbing is being done to finally finish the animation.
