ammm. just any and every kind of studies really. i focus on anatomy and color soley. once i get them good ill move to other stuff. just keep drawing and drawing. might seems like youre banging your head at a wall sometimes. but belive me, if you bang enough, it will break.
hes the one that does the designs lab right? i saw some stuff. but only on youtube. will check him out thanks.

and a quote here. by a guy who i dont remember the name(and im paraphrasing)
"my students always came with questions, and to them the answer was always a couple thousand more drawings."

this is my two cents.

i should probably focus on a couple of things as well, i keep on doing random stuff :/ but yeah hopefully once school starts back up and im in ap art ill force myself to draw every day, and yes thats him i really like his style

hahahaha more time during school? i guess its because youre working, but that seems controversial to me.
things are going good. i like to think im selftaugh, tho ive taken art calsses in school and been to a few courses, but nothing really made a diference, not like studing by myself.
im starting a illustration degree in september! really excited to start and meet people who like to do the same things! its been quite a lonely journey so far....

yeah haha, see im home from school at 4-5 depending on my schedule, i get home from work at around 6-9 and i gotta eat and take a shower right whne i get home so its pretty late by then homework doesnt take too long for me
well i think the lonely journey has paid up its now time to join a pack haha, idk i feel so much more motivated when surrounded by art peeps striving to do the same y'know? and since im a teen im naturally lazy @.@ which makes it harder! What school are you going to attend?

Aragah In reply to Kh4-3vr [2012-08-14 23:54:07 +0000 UTC]

i see. the thing that gets me its not that i have less time. but that i have less energy after work/school. its really hard to study then...
hhaah yeah man! indeed i get really pumped by simply talking about art or anything.
lol i dont think the teen is a good excuse tho. we have energy, unlike older people. and we have time.
im attending to Emily Carr University.

well see i work in construction so i use up alot more energy there rather than at school, because when i used to hit the weights i would do it after school but once i started workign everyday during the summer i didnt have time nor the energy so it works the same way, and yeah we do have more energy but when youre older you actually wanna get up and do stuff, us teens kinda dont ha , i do have a skype even though i dont use it ill dust it off and hit you up, got a twitter?

haha it is @.@, its weird though cus when i feel like giving up i get random bursts of dedication and stuff which drives me more, i think its nice to take a break from art every once in a while, how long have you been drawing nonstop?

Aragah In reply to Kh4-3vr [2012-08-15 23:40:12 +0000 UTC]

yeah i know what you mean.
non-stop? im terrible with keeping streaks.
i studied like hard 2-3 months in early 2011 then light study the 2nd semester
hard again in the first 2 months of january. then 3 with almost nothing.
and now this summer it just depends on the week....
yeah... if i had done nonstop like i should i would have evolved way more.
it takes a while after the break to start improving again. so momentun is really important

oh well still those intervals of working hard have paid off, its funny how i was supposedly serious and dedicated to be one of the best and be a concept artist but i drew maybe once a week, never studied anatomy, never drew faces.... so in these few months that ive started doing that im starting to get a hang of things slowly, hopefully i get much better! and dont break this habit cus then its super hard to get back into it right?

Aragah In reply to Kh4-3vr [2012-08-16 02:14:56 +0000 UTC]

yeah. one of the things that got me down when i met a few people at deasign school was that. everybody kept saying how dedicated they were and how long is the journey and stuff. but nobody ever did anything...
dont be that guy man! if you set to be the best you better work your fucking butt off!
indeed its super hard to get back in. my challenge now is tokeep practisin no matter what other stuff i have to do in my day. its gonna be a real challenge when i move out.

it wasnt that hard for me man! well, i used to have two art periods anyway. i think i ended up going my free period there too. and i loved to get excused to skip physics in order to paint on it!
good times.
we would steal one of the class speakers and put it on the hall so we could blast music while paintint.
i wish i could go back to that!
