Hi there! My name is Vanessa Esparza. I am an Animation/Illustration major and Theater minor student.This is my third year here at SJSU, but I've been in college for about 7 collectively. I transferred/moved a bit. Throughout my years in college I have taken quite a few classes in figure drawing, digital paining, graphic design, and one class where I used Flash. However, it wasn't until I got here to SJSU that I really was able to really have more of an understanding for it all; taking the ANI classes. With being a Theater minor, also something I enjoy, it has helped with my animations; it's acting on paper. So it's really been a good thing to have as well.
Currently I'm taking ANI 115, ANI 130A, PHYS 123 (of course) and RTVF 110. Career wise I would love to work as a Visual Development or Character Designer. I'm still developing my own style and have done some of my own characters; few but I have. I'm always excited to learn new things and apply them to what I already know.
This is one of my own characters. She started as a doodle and I decided to give her a bit more attention. I'm still working on making her better but I like working with developing my own characters.

These two are Forrest works I did for ANI 113B. I used the story of La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) to create the scenes.
ANI 114 - Change of Emotion Animation
This was one an emotion change animation we had to do for ANI 114 last semester. I used my niece as reference for the little duck character.
