GoGo! Accountability

[Joe]

Hey daggers

Man, I've been getting lax with my studies. Thinking what I need is a crisp new thread, dedicated just to studies with some mandatory upload days. get some of that positive momentum flowing 

gonna keep most of my waffling in spoiler tabs, so y'all don't have to spend hours scrolling

THE PROBLEM

I'm leaving the structure of my study solely to the courses at Schoolism, trouble is, for the whole six months I've been subscribed there i've not completed a single course. There are a few reasons that I can think of as to why, namely:

• After I finish work I cant be bothered to pick up the pen again and start studying
  
• I have a tough deadline and the schoolism course gets thrown out the window in a rush to complete a job
  
• I'm not happy with the work I've done, and just repeat the same lesson ad infinitum
  
• I'm arrogant, so I intentionally over complicate and overthink the course to the point I can't completed it, when in reality it would have been a big enough challenge to begin with.
  

They all lead to me falling behind, not getting the right amount of work done and restarting. it'll drive me to the point of insanity before long but that is where this thread comes in. The one goal is to submit the required amount of course work every week, it doesn't have to be perfect and I don't have to be happy with it (because I never will be), I just need to hand it in. we're going slow and steady with this people, sloooow and steady.

THE SCHEDULE

I'll be uploading the new course work every Sunday and then setting up my following assignment on the Monday 

I'm currently working through a Realistic Portraits course by  Jason Seiler which I'll start again from scratch this week.

Week 1 Assignment:

Draw two celebrity portraits using the Loomis head construction method and the grid method.

From what I can tell, the teacher doesn't put on any importance on these methods as being the 'correct' way to draw a face. it's mostly a lesson in developing the patience to measure proportions properly and being all meticulous. the methods are just possible frame works. 

I'll be upload my work on Sunday 28th.

And finally, heres a bit of art, just so this aint a complete waste of your time:

Some Faces from imagination

   

and some eye studies from the last time I tried to complete this course
