#1: Intro to Me

What's up everyone. I'm Felipe. I'm creating this blog to capture my journey in learning how to animate in Photoshop and, maybe even, learn more about Photoshop. I have already used Photoshop to draw and paint, but I have never tried using it as a way to animate. That has always been an Adobe Flash thing for me. Flash was made for animation, and Photoshop was made for Editing Photos. It was later discovered to be a great tool for illustrating, and then it turned out to also be useful for animating.

I had never put too much thought into learning Photoshop. I didn't have the money to buy it, but then I saw all the great illustrations people were making with it. When Adobe CC came out, I snatched a student/teacher edition for a cheap price. I started learning Photoshop to draw/paint, and as I was watching tutorial videos for it, I saw that there were some animations made with it. That was the moment I realized Photoshop had an incredible capacity to create very original styles with Animation.

Now I want to learn everything about Photoshop. This blog will help organize my ideas and keep everything I learned in a nice, stored place. I'll update this every week with a summary of what I learned, what I'm doing, and what I'm going to do next week.  And I'll try to keep it interesting. It's boring when I try to force myself through a wall of text. It's painful. And who knows, maybe this blog will help anybody else trying to animate in Photoshop.
