I&#8217;m still pretty new to the industry since I just graduated&nbsp;in Spring of 2019, so I&#8217;ve had the chance to work on a variety of different things. When I was in school, I realized my two main interests were storyboarding and 2D animation, so I spent more time honing my skills there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I landed a story internship at Walt Disney Feature Animation in 2018, and that was pretty life-changing (and terrifying!). From there, I graduated and started freelancing, working hard all summer to make a decent portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just when I was about to default on my rent, I got hired as a revisionist on Close Enough! I met some great people, and working at Cartoon Network was a lot of fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My supervisor took me with her straight after my gig on Close Enough ended, and I started on Solar Opposites as a revisionist in February of 2020. With the pandemic, one of our board artists had to bow out, and I was assigned to help board the episode instead &#8211; an opportunity I totally&nbsp;was not expecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once production wrapped on Solar Opposites, I decided I missed animating, so I took a gig as a rough animator for Helluva Boss. And that&#8217;s where I&#8217;m at currently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-1024x713.jpg\" alt=\"Comic by Kaden Westbrook.\" class=\"wp-image-2989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-1536x1069.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-175x122.jpg 175w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-450x313.jpg 450w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic-1170x814.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cursed2020_comic.jpg 1552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A comic created by Kaden with all the 2020 feels!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>2) Who\/what are your inspirations in the industry?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There are way too many artists to name! Something I like to do is just go through the credits of my favorite animated shows and follow the entire board team on social media. A lot of the folks at Disney TVA and Cartoon Network put out boards that I&#8217;m constantly in awe of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was in school, Gravity Falls was the show that specifically inspired me to take the plunge and switch tracks from studying journalism to animation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, I love independent animators and comic artists &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FelixColgrave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"620\">Felix Colgrave<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackStauber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"621\">Jack Stauber<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonniphillips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"622\">Jonni Phillips<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/accounts\/login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"623\">Kelly Ficcara<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iArtSometimes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"624\">Sean Williams<\/a> (WeirdWildWorld), and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Worthikids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"625\">Worthikids<\/a> to name a few. Their work inspires me because they just sit down and create, and their work is so unique to their voices. The animation industry is very collaborative, so sometimes it&#8217;s tough to express your own voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Observation sketches by Kaden Westbrook.\" class=\"wp-image-2992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-175x98.jpg 175w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-observational-sketches-1170x658.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Observational sketches by Kaden Westbrook.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>3) What was your favorite part of working on Solar Opposites?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This will sound mundane, but I loved just going and getting lunch with some of my really cool coworkers. Since I started in late February, I didn&#8217;t have much time to get to know them in person before we started working from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing I really missed when we started WFH was petting all the dogs! The studio was very pet-friendly, so people often brought their dogs in to hang out next to their desks while they worked. It&#8217;s nice when you&#8217;re stressed out to go bug your coworker and get a hit of serotonin from petting their dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>4) What was your favorite part of working on Close Enough?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Working on Close Enough was incredible, especially fresh out of school. I grew up loving <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/tv\/regular-show-drinking-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"626\">Regular Show<\/a><\/span>, so getting to work with JG Quintel and some of the artists from the original show was really special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cartoon Network also throws some incredibly kickass parties. At the time I was really into OKKO, so I went to their Halloween party dressed as Professor Venomous. I ended up meeting the artist who designed PV when she tapped me on the shoulder and asked to take a picture with me! Everyone at the studio was just so kind and willing to lend a hand and answer questions. I definitely walked away having made a few lifelong friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Zoo sketches by Kaden Westbrook.\" class=\"wp-image-2993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-175x98.jpg 175w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-zoo-sketches-1170x658.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Zoo sketches by Kaden Westbrook.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>5) What projects are you working on now?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I&#8217;m a rough animator on Helluva Boss by Vivienne Medrano. After Solar, I took a bit of break, but one day I noticed Viv was looking for animators on Twitter, so I sent my reel along and was added to the crew! It&#8217;s nice to take a step back from boarding and animate, it&#8217;s kind of a different mindset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like working out acting beats and emphasizing the emotions in a performance, and that&#8217;s a big part of character animation. Plus, it&#8217;s exciting to be part of a show that&#8217;s being independently produced. I hope I&#8217;m contributing to a trend towards more independent animation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(By the way, Helluva Boss episodes can be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL-uopgYBi65HwiiDR9Y23lomAkGr9mm-S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"627\">viewed for free on Youtube<\/a><\/span>.)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"994\" src=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-1024x994.jpg\" alt=\"Cowboy comic by Kaden Westbrook.\" class=\"wp-image-2995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-1024x994.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-768x746.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-175x170.jpg 175w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2-450x437.jpg 450w, https:\/\/letsplayadrinkinggame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Kaden-cowboy-comic-2.jpg 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Comic by Kaden Westbrook<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) We&#8217;ve gotta ask &#8211; Do you have a favorite drinking game?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I love getting together with friends, watching a bad movie, and making a drinking game out of that!
