Hi, I'm Ecem Arpapay. I was born in 1996. I graduated from Istanbul Ayvansaray University Printing and Publishing. Even though I have been interested in animation world and computer games since childhood, I could not lead my career in this field due to unawareness.
When I started as a graphic designer, I became a junior art director, but I realized that I didn't want to do that anymore. Because I heard the name of Anima Istanbul in the sector, I also heard about Anima Okul.
As a result of our interviews and personal research, I decided that Anima Okul would be a good start for my career development.
My 6-month training was far above my expectations. It was a fun training for me that I never wanted to end. I have seen that Anima Okul always supporting you to do better. At the beginning I can't even draw a stickman. At the moment, I can draw close to the characters I admire.
After my training, my goal is to become a character designer and work at Disney. Endless thanks to my instructor Murat Çelik who participated in dynamic figure classes has uncovered my hidden talent, Sarp Pekün our ZBrush and rendering instructor who patiently answered my questions, Sezgin Öztürk and Anima Okul for fantastic 6 months.
