A bit of reflection
I’m at a strange point again, where you get that feeling that you have a decision to make but you dont know what its about or what the options are?
This year I know I made some resolutions that were kind of flexible, kind of ‘if this happens then I’ll do this’. Besides the fact that opportunities tend to pop up and distractions come about for the most part, I’m doing OK for now.
New things that come up keeps me thinking and asking my self questions. What should I do next to achieve my goals? what are my goals? and are they reasonably achievable? Do I even know what I’m doing?
Its not like I’m lacking confidence of doing art work. I know it takes time and it is something I want to make a profession at. I just want to know if I’m going down the best road for me. I wish it was easy enough to just ask some one before, where should I turn next?
Well, one thing for sure, I really need to work on faces. I’ve been kind of dissatisfied with my range of faces and expressions. I might change up my drawing style a bit after GD. Still keeping to the anime influence, just maybe something a little rounder and softer?
Also, even though I like the cell work I’ve done in the past, I’m kind of fed up with cell style coloring. It feels more technical and I find blending kind of therapeutic.
Been doing so much other work that I feel like I’m bashing my head against the wall. I like the work, but I need a break from having to keep to a current style. I like to bounce a round now and then.
I think I might just draw and color a bunch of heads this summer as my warm sessions. I need to get better at faces.
