Absolutely sagely advice there friend, I shall keep it in mind and rush no more! I believe there's something to be said for limiting the time you spend on studies though, I think noodling at something until it's a perfect copy in every way can make you remember less of what you set out to gain from the study. Gotta find a balance of efficiency and thoroughness.


In any case was more trying to get at the fact that I'm spending too much time on a certain exercise, so there's not enough time for other things.

I want to be learning animation from richard william's books, and cinematography fundamentals and techniques, and improve my values and learn color theory and go over the scottrobbertson dvds to brush up on my perspective and learn french and reread my books on story and storyboarding and start writing original stuff and learn to read and write music and after affects and make examples for character commissions on DA and tumblr and build up a portfolio and maybe FA and maybe learn html AAAUUGHH TOO MUCH

So really, my worries are about time management, which is STUPID TO BE WORRYING ABOUT since I literally have all the time in the day to devote to myself. Unlike a lot of people here I don't have a job or a family to support, so not working hard on art every day and producing more work than most people here make is downright lazy and unacceptable. Yet even knowing how stupidly lucky I am to be in this position, I still waste time on the internet and nervous snacking. Hopefully after writing this the conviction will stick with me and I'll work harder tomorrow.

Aaaand on that note, here's a smattering of stuff from the last couple of days. I don't have much to show, just some character doodles and trying my hand at posing a character design from this awesome dude, and a few pen-and-ink master copies.

later bros, and sorry for the awkward whine-rant. I'll try and have more stuff to post tomorrow!
