Window Art

I have been painting the windows outside of Amy's Ice Creams for the over three years. In 2023, was approached by the store manager to paint a Studio Ghibli theme, and they loved it. I have taken the lead on designing and painting every window piece since.

I have learned and grown so much in the process. I've learned how to scale my drawings to bigger sizes, how to space different elements to produce an appealing piece, and accurately calculate the time to complete each painting.

Through my course of study at Austin Community College, I have developed a sound understanding of key concepts like:

Exaggeration - It's important to understand the rules first before breaking them
Keyframes, timing, and framerate

I've also gained significant experience using industry-standard tools, like Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, ToonBoom Harmony, ToonBoom Storyboard Pro, Clip Studio Paint, and more.

How to work with a team of people
Be prepared to take on more work than expected
Time management is very important because of strict deadlines
