Cool stuff, but i don't see you applying it to personal pieces, why?

I am currently in the theoric and study part a costume&weapon design course.This will lead toward personal piece later on.

It doesen't really work that way in art , think about it like training muscles right now your creative muscle is not being worked at all, if you think you will finish some studies and then be able to do good pieces, thats not the case all these things should be worked at simultaneously.I assume you got into art to do something you wanted ( i assume costume design) then do that studies are good but without application its a waste of time, trust me this is coming from someone who wasted several years doing the same thing and getting nothing out of it, don't make the same mistake.

I cannot say what you did exactly wrong but i would guess you did to many study without enough personal work.I personally can't say for a fact if i am repeating those seem error.I know that i am not aim at copying aimlessly and that i might need more personal work to reflect that i do actually transfer those knowledge.I will definitevely try to show that i do transfer those knowledge into personal work.The problem with study is that you can get stuck in what i would call a copying mode were you stop being creative and in this mode you try to absord information but you can't retain the information because you don't inject what you learn into your own work.

My method is to generally do a few study to gain confidence that i understand the principle and then inject those principle into my own work.Correct me if i am wrong but a good ''art loop'' would be theory//study//personal work/getting feed back i think that a winning process.
