Thought I should post /something/ I have been working, just scanning and uploading to dA so I can link here takes so freekin long I don't tend to bother.
I have had a rough week all up in my own head, almost quit, but figured it out, and I'm hoping I'll stay on track now. Grinding will be done, but for a purpose, not just for the sake of 'learning' because that was like beating my head against a wall. I also realised external pressures to be a 'successful person' aka earn lots of money - which isn't something I've ever believed anyway, has been sucking my creativity and motivation away. So now I shall focus on what I regard as successful, rather than taking on other peoples baggage.
My def of a successful person, is someone who is doing something they love (even just as a hobby, no judgement there, but having a passion and pursuing it makes people happy), and is nice to other people.
Anyway, timed studies I did today, still doing figure/gesture as well, but trying to nail down face and hands, because I've been struggling with them. I'm hoping once I have the formula ingrained via repetition I'll be able to invent and simplify.
