A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ARTIST: THARAKA RANASINGHE FREELANCE ARTIST/ ANIMATOR

Hello!

First of all, I would like to make something clear. Yeah, it is about my name :). My full name is Chaminda Tharaka Ranasinghe and I go by Tharaka which is my middle name. I am an artist/ Animator. As an artist and a human being, everyday is different for me and also I do learn something new each day. This is how my day went on Thursday 26th.

6.00

 

 

 

 

I woke up and said good morning to myself 🙂

Went to the kitchen and made my breakfast.

Ummm.. yes,  I don’t mind to cook. I do make my own lunch every day. Thursday special, rice, onions and carrots. I did add too much pepper but little bit salt. I have been told too much salt is not healthy and i do believe that 🙂

After breakfast it was time for my daily morning workout. I realized I need more exercises for my body as i don’t move too much at work. Therefore i do my exercises at least 30 min every morning while listening to some songs or music tracks 🙂 .
