lol patterns
I've been going through a general pattern of alternating the following themes:
[[repress desire to do my own thing] and either [concentrating on bringing up my knowledge to speed] or [diving in and trying to bang out samples of other people's characters to try and git a work for hire gig]]
[diving in to my own thing even though I don't feel ready]
epiphany:
(music analogy)
there's a difference between [focusing on your own thing], and [prematurely going into the studio to record]
I need to focus on my own thing
but still concentrate on filling-out my grasp of the fundamentals, before I try to manifest some art.
My <5-month plan still apples.
It's just that the no-erase stuff I'll be doing in England will likely be conceptual material for my own stories;
and the pages I'll be doing when I come back will likely be of my own stories.
right now the order of business is
[script refinement* and thumbnail layouts] and [studying the fundamentals/[expanding my illustration notebook/s]
*lol i don't have to be tight in format, because it's just for the sake of preliminary planning; I'm the only one that is going to read them
key moments in my life?,
epiphany,
