So I've been up all night...
I've been up all night working on this page for my class today at one. It's a three panel page of some very detailed backgrounds. It took me 4 hours to draw just one of the panels. I have one left to finish. It's planned out on scrap paper, ready to be light-boxed onto my final Bristol board, but I stopped because my back was feeling all spasm-ey from leaning over my art table all night.
I really like this class. Comic Scene is a challenge for me because it forces me to draw detailed backgrounds... What sucks about this month for me, is that I can't help but feel like I'm phoning in my assignments, doing most of them the night before because the time I would usually spend on my homework I've been at the store changing people into other people or turning them into the undead.
My animation homework for Wednesday is done. I have 2 pencilled pages of detailed backgrounds from the neighborhood due tomorrow I haven't even taken my reference photos for yet... I think it's safe to say, no Philo tonight for me again... leaving me frustrated and a little angry. I miss doing Philo. It's a lot of fun despite the frat boys and jerks who call in just trying to fuck with us artists. I miss spending time on my assignments. Those pages I scanned in were from the first month of class. I feel embarrassed to share my work from October since one can easily tell I've been rushing the pages compared to the tight pencils of the previous work.
I know, I have to manage my time better. Between losing the website job with the rude clients and spending half the time I wish I could on all of my homework (not just the stuff for this class), I've certainly learned that lesson.
I still have one more week of hell, however. If I'm short with anyone this week, I apologize ahead of time... You have to understand I just have a bit of tunnel vision right now. So my schedule for this week:
M:
1-6pm Comic Scene
6:30-Whenever, homework for Intro to Comics
T:
1-6pm Intro to Comics
7-10pm Work
10:30-whenever, finish How to Run a Business homework
W:
1-6pm Intro to Animation
6:30-9pm How to Run a Business
9:30-whenever, finish 3 pages of art for Dummy copy of Comic print/Web 40 page comic, finalize InDesign document, add legaleze.
Th: (My day off school)
Finish Dummy copy work, track down paper stocks needed, print dummy copy, finish Comic Print/Web Business plan for class, print.
7-10pm Work
10:30-whenever, finish whatever I haven't yet for class.
F:
1-6pm Comic Print/Web
6:30-whenever, coveted free time where I shall kill some brain cells by playing hot Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Action over at Seamus and relax...a bit
Sa-Su:
Write Business Plan and build Powerpoint for presentation on Wed. is 75% of my grade.
Somehow fill in homework time for whatever next week's homework will be.
This means two things. 1, Little sleep for the glych this week. and 2, My Side-B pages will probably be a few days late. I won't be able to get them finished until after the 5th when I present that presentation...
Unfortunately, those pages are also some for the ones I feel like I rushed in Comic Scene... >_<
GAH! Why must I be such a perfectionist! Then I could be happy with the sloppy work I've been turning in all month in all of my classes. Dammit -.-
I'm going to catch another hour nap.
Then see if I can finish that panel without wanting to scrap the whole mess.
-a very tired glych
