Mini Portfolio

Hi!

I have been taking A/I Classes for 5 years and I passed the portfolio review, so I am now able to take upper A/I classes. I am currently taking Ani 114 and Ani 117. This major was like a yoyo to me because I wasnt sure If I wanted to stay or graduate as a Fine Art Major. But 2 semesters ago I took Ani 113B and this class helped me build my confidence and realize that I wanted to stick with this major. This class really pushed me to do my best and improve my skills. Because of this class, I would like to do environments either for movies, video games, or books. I would like to work for different companies to give me experience, but also for start up companies.

This is a painting that I did for Ani 113B. This was my final for this class and it is one of the few paintings that I am actually proud.  I have never rendered a tree and a forest before so I was really please with the ending result.

This one is a personal sketch that I did of the Aintley's House in Downtown Campbell. The reason why I drew this house is because I am attracted to historical subjects, objects or buildings that has a history behind. I am also found of English cottage house, so this one caught my eye.

This is video is an italian animation called " La Linea" by Osvaldo Cavandoli. This is the first episode from the 90 episodes that exist. As a little girl, I used to watch those episodes and I loved the simplicity and the humor.

The First Post

Hi everyone!

My name is Lea Joyeux, I was born and raised in France and I moved to California in 2004. I first lived in Southern California, and started high school in Aliso Viejo ( Next to Laguna Beach). I knew English before coming to California because my mother is American, so I grew up learning french and English. I still have family in France on my dad side, including my younger sister. I also have an older sister, who lives in San Francisco and she majored in graphic design. I chose Illustration as my major because I enjoy telling a story thru a painting. After graduating SJSU, I would like to be an environment and concept artist for movies or video games. :)
