Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[cgmythology]

Thanks for sharing your experience with your art school. Given how you feel, I agree that quitting was the right choice. If something doesn't feel right, it's always best to trust your intuition. I remember I had a similar experience when I was in college; I was majoring in Graphic Design at the time, and I wasn't happy with that decision after a while as I preferred the illustration courses so I left and became self taught. There's a lot of great material out there now for artists to study from so I feel like this is the best time for artists to do their own thing.

With that said, I love what you've done with your recent painting. You captured the lighting incredibly well, and I love the brushwork and painterly style, while still playing up the details in the process. I always admire artists that can pull of that look, and you make it look easy! Great job and best of luck to you on your artistic journey!
