Hi! I'm Alanah. I have had a passion for art for as long as I can remember, and have explored the depths of my creativity through many different art forms.​ Painting, sketching and digital art were my main interests in secondary education.

 

However, the TV shows I enjoyed were all 2D animated and the fascinating ability to bring still images to life quickly intrigued me. I knew I wanted the skills to bring life to my own stories, work and imagination, and thus decided to study Animation in Sheffield.

I have found it challenging and equally rewarding, and every mistake I've made and new skill I've learned has reminded me that this is what I truly enjoy and want to build my career on.​ I was always specifically drawn to 2D animation as it is the discipline most focused on actual drawing and has the most traditional roots. Particularly in the Little Brewery project, I wanted to create something clean and pleasant to watch, focusing on quality and aesthetics. The cafe-life aesthetic is something I also enjoy so it felt right to incorporate this as the central concept of my animation.

​

Little Brewery is the cumulation of everything I have learned and how far I have come on my artistic journey; I have enjoyed watching my work improve over the few years I have been studying here and I am already excited to progress to my next big project.
