What ImSkeptical learnt this week (Sketchbook)
Well its been 2 years since starting art. Its been a strange year for me, mostly picking up an in house art related job (yay!) that was the main reason I let this sketchbook slide.

That job is over now though, i have mixed feelings about the ~6/7 months I spent working, but all in all it was a good experience, learned a lot, made some great friends. I didn't however, learn or practice as much art as I would've liked, which was probably my main issue with the job. We did a bunch of strange creative stuff, worked on pitches and idea generation, which was awesome; worked on a bunch of advertisement storyboards, which was cool; and I had to work on managing a website, which was god awful terrible. But now that's over so I'm kicking back into high gear, schedule all ready to go (I'm going to use https://habitrpg.com/ if anyone is interested).

In terms of an artistic retrospective, I gathered some stuff I did over the year to just have a look through. I really like using this sketchbook as a way to reflect progress each week, but it doesn't really work so well for an entire year, it felt weird to repost images a few pages back, so in the end I mostly gathered stuff I hadn't been bothered to upload to the sketchbook, and just posted on Facebook. Seeing it all together though, as I suspected while working, my laziness that built up each day of working 9 to 6 (not including 1 hr back n forth travel :( (let me have my excuses)) has hampered the progress I hoped to achieve.

Here's the photo I took last year of all the papers I managed to draw on in my first year of art

Whereas this year,

So impotent :(. And from the huge art dump below, although there is a little bit of improvement, it doesn't really have that dramatic impact you hope for at the end of a year.

At any rate, I'm optimistic about this year. Having saved up some cash, I plan the next 3 months to be super extreme hyperbolic time chamber art grind, before I start job hunting. And this time it's going to be real job hunting, at least 1 hr a week and 1 day a week of purely business related stuff. That kind of stuff is just as important if I wanna get into the whole freelance stuff.

So that's probably all that I can think is worth saying, as always ask any question you like through any means (skype, facebook, forum, stream, emailz)! I like talking :p . Here's an epic art dump.
