Ah, I have comfort zone stuff - painting animals.. I can bust out that and enjoy it, don't know that I'm learning anything from it though

XD lol

I like to mindlessly copy things.. Sigh.. Aah, when I was ignorant XD

Vicianus

I was about to say the same thing, book :P

Personal work is where I struggle and get depressed because of my skills.

07 Sep 08:32

Punk-A-Cat

personal*

07 Sep 08:32

Punk-A-Cat

yeah, it can get depressing, thats when you need to do some persona work, just enjoy art for a bit

07 Sep 08:32

Bookend

And it's only now, like.. 10 years later.. (Maybe I'm exaggerating, surely I'm not that old..) That I'm finally applying the studies to memory and doing my own thing XD

07 Sep 08:31

Bookend

It's overwhelming when there's so much to learn. It's exciting too, but it can be really depressing sometimes, lol

07 Sep 08:30

Punk-A-Cat

I know that feel also

07 Sep 08:30

Vicianus

On the other hand, really I should probably just start making the work I want to and see where it takes me.

07 Sep 08:30

Vicianus

Right? I have this internal struggle where I know in order to draw the way I want to, I should focus on studies.

07 Sep 08:30

Bookend

For years I've been avoiding perspective and now I'm finally forcing myself to start thinking about it.. And start.. Reluctantly doodling a bit.. Get that foot in the damn water, lol

07 Sep 08:30

Bookend

I'm always going, 'Gah, fundamentals, fundamentals!' and it's like I keep going more backwards to try to go forwards. :P

07 Sep 08:29

Bookend

Hahaha, yeah XD

07 Sep 08:29

Bookend

But I'm kinda glad that I'm able to slack a bit and still reach my goal, lol

07 Sep 08:29

Vicianus

dude just limbs in general. Actually, the whole thing. Really though... drawing in general

07 Sep 08:29

Bookend

That was my problem too though.. Arm anatomy is where I have the worst problems. That and hands. Which is why it was both hands and arms.. But it turns out that I probably should've made it like.. 188 x 188 or something.

07 Sep 08:28

Bookend

Haha, thanks man, I appreciate that. I didn't think they were that dope, honestly, but maybe it IS paying off XD

07 Sep 08:28

Bookend

I decided 88x88 by September 20.. So I have so much time on my hands that I've been doing a lot inbetween

07 Sep 08:27

Vicianus

No wonder your arms are so dope lately. I need to take a page from your book. For some reason, my mind shuts off when it comes to arm anatomy

07 Sep 08:27

Bookend

I think I'm finished my references at 88, and I'm in the 60s for my memory/application studies

07 Sep 08:25

Vicianus

what # are you at?

07 Sep 08:25

Vicianus

Yo yo yo, hit it book

07 Sep 08:24

Bookend

But I also need to keep my goal in mind for my deathline, haha. :) I have been slacking since I'm so close to the end, lol

07 Sep 08:22

Bookend

That's my plan too, once I get the subscription.

07 Sep 08:22

Vicianus

Houston was actually a student under a friend of mine

07 Sep 08:22

Richie

yeh im planning on going tru all the perspective tutorials on NMA they have days of lectures on there

07 Sep 08:22

Bookend

I feel like I've hit a slump. I hate saying that, because I don't really believe in slumps. I just need an attitude adjustment, lol

07 Sep 08:22

Bookend

Sounds great. :D Hope it helps us all.

07 Sep 08:20

Vicianus

Now that I'm not, I'd have tons of time to study from it

07 Sep 08:20

Vicianus

Oh yeah. Those guys are some of my tops, I just haven't started because I was always busy with school >o<
