Lesson 1 Background:
For the first lesson I draw a little paper with the text: City with a trashcan lit on fire.
I made the background with trashcan in Photoshop.
I wanted a smooth fire and smoke transition, so I made that in After Effects.
It didn't suit the art style, so I tried to go for a better smoke transition first.
I tried to follow a tutorial on YouTube but didn't understand it.
so I made a new version.
Because it still looked bad I made the fire first and in a different file.
I did tried to make new smoke again, and this time it worked out better.
And this is the final result without sound.
Lesson 2 Keychain:
In this lesson I made an illustration in illustrator for the laserprinter.
After I was done I laserprinted the keychain.

Lesson 3 Character animation:
I made a new animation for this assignment.
It's been in my head for a while now and I finally had the chance to make it.
The background and characters are made in Photoshop.
The animation itself is made in After Effects.
The story:
Sina tries to get a giant lava lizard out of a castle before he destroys it.
After she grabs a rock and shows it to the lizard, she quickly understands she did something stupid and runs away. With that the lizard comes after her.
In the meanwhile Ritchy (the one with the hat) and king Aphrodites (the one sitting down), are smoking the "golden blunt".
After a surprised and confused reaction the go on with smoking.
Here are the drawings I made for the animation.
