Taylor's Sketchbook of Patterns and Progress.

[Einver]

I'm hitting it harder than ever.

Looking back on this journey, it's nice to see how much I've been able to step forward, but I know that in order to blast off and become world-class, I'm going to have to overhaul my work ethic, not just my creative work.

Art is just another conduit that reflects how much a person is willing to put down for their craft. I've been interested in digital painting (and illustration + concept art in general) since 2010, and studying actively since 2011.

I've had some of my most depressing moments as a result of constantly comparing myself to others, and fighting with the stupid, trivial, ape-like thoughts that find a trillion ways to say "you're never going to make it."

Fuck those thoughts. They exist purely to stop those who aren't strong enough. Everyone would make it if they didn't yield to self-doubt.

I'm grateful to be alive, healthy, and I'm going to MAKE IT. I'm going to inspire others to make it too.

Enough words, more action.

I did 100 gestures yesterday + more sketching, so today I focused mainly on the digital side of things.

3 still lives, and some experimental works. Not all done today, but over the past week or so.
