Recently, we had a very interesting lecture from ex-NUCA student, Chris Goodswen. He explained to us how, since he was stuck in a "dead-end office job" and had a love for drawing, he decided to quit and start studying again in hopes of getting into the industry. When he started, he was afraid of trying new things like 3D work, but when his 2D work was exceptionally great, he threw himself into it. He is now a 3D Character Artist studying at the University of Abertay.

I was glad that Chris elaborated on things that I wasn't so sure about involving the industry itself, such as how important things like anatomy and time are, and how 90% of most work is research and the other 10% is work. The one thing he did say that slightly worried me, however, was the speech about finding a job in the industry. I've always known it's a difficult place to get into, but with things like contacts and a perfect portfolio needed, it's a little overwhelming at this stage of my course. I'm glad he said it though, it's just going to push me to work a lot harder! Overall, a very informative and entertaining lecture with some excellent work on show.
