resort to plan b!
and I am 22.
My birthday is today, but I've been celebrating it with various people all week. XD! I feel like I made out like a bandit: art supplies, new athletic gear, and a "sock creatures" book and kit (so now I can make plushies out of all of my old socks XD!) I've also been fed very well this week. It's funny, when you get used to not eating much, and then suddenly people are buying you food or cooking for you, it's like the happiest day of your life. XD
less than refined
-is Zach's band (he's my little step-brother). I went and saw them perform yesterday :lol: And really, he is too good to be a punk guitarist. If that's what he wants to do, then I guess that's what he will do, but I really think he should get on the indie scene. Anyway, it was an impressive show, and Whitney put the whole thing together, so big props to her for that.
work rant >.>
To make a long story short, ever since I was hired about four months ago, they've been hanging this promotion over my head and using it to use me. And they just gave it to somebody else. Who is under-qualified. Needless to say, I am looking for another job. Well, to tell the truth, there have been several times that I was going to try to get a new job but didn't because of the possibility of promotion. Well, screeewwwwww that jazz =D
I drew this in my sleep.
I'm not quite sure what it means. :B
and one last thing, that I posted in my devart journal:
What is anime, anyway?
I realized something recently, something that altered my vision of a reality, to a degree.
I hate my anime drawings.
I don't hate anime, oh no no contraire. But I don't like my "anime." The way in which I draw anime. I don't know exactly what this means. I think I just don't like the direction I am going, as if I am trying to define my art by adhering to a style that doesn't make any particular sense to me. I'm not saying that anime is nonsensical, or that it isn't art. But it isn't for me, I don't think. Not the way I am currently drawing it.
It just suddenly clicked in my head, while looking over older works, that I don't really like the way I draw. So I thought to myself, "If I don't like my style, what kind of style do I really like?" And I came to the conclusion that the way I draw anime isn't the way I see people. So I did some sketching, drawing figures the way I saw people instead of trying to be stylistic.
And, wow. I like it so much better. It's such an odd feeling. It's like finally realizing how to draw.
Help me. Is this weird? >.>
