Hey Y'all, been a while.
Gona spill some thoughts along with some studies n' WIPs:
I've spent a lot of time in other realms all throughout 2017-Now
studying Music, Engineering, geometry, etc...Ultimately I'm coming back to art-- I can't afford to experiment too much more since I'm 29 already. Jesus, time has gone by fast.
Looking back at this SB, I remember how excited I was to "get into the industry" and work hard, but all I ended up doing was plateauing and not committing to one path. Depression did not help, lmao.
It's the sad reality I hope to impart-- specialize. If you're making a go at art-- there's little room for much else until you're making a really good living at it.
I'm basically starting back at the bottom of the freelance barrel - $200 - $500 per job.
But you know what? I'm grateful. Because I took the time to learn all the things I did, I feel like I got them all out of my system and can focus solely on art now.
Music has enriched my life deeply, as has geometry, business studies, and everything I ended up doing other than studies/networking.
But now it's time to come home. Yeah?
Here's some of my recent works - just getting back into the swing of things, really. I've been studying lightly in the mornings from the Bargue drawing course, but I haven't gone past about an hour per day--I should probably spend more like 2-3.
Letting the construction slip on some of 'em. Gotta be more strict in that regard.
Some digital paintings too.
