For taking such a long break from drawing and painting. It's been all summer and I still haven't touched a paint brush, but that's gonna end real soon because of this:
I think I just finished my sketch of this sink. It's been on my mind for months and I finally just sat down to start drawing it. One of the obstacles I had while trying to get some drawing done was that I didn't have a drawing table, and I used that as an excuse to do nothing for the entire summer. I got really sick of that excuse and I just went out and bought one, and It motivated me to finish. I actually banged this out pretty fast. That's all.
looks nice, I would like to see the finish. Maybe the faucet and handles could use a size upgrade. Nice to see you working again, and your website looks good too.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you been doing all summer if not art? Work?
ReplyDeleteYeah, just working. For a while i was really confused whether to focus on finding a better non-career related job, or to just focus on illustration with the job I have now. But I decided to go with the illustration. So I've been just scraping by money wise, but it's all good.
ReplyDeleteYou?
I've been trying to correct the flaws in my portfolio, because I felt like maybe I didn't have a very clear direction to my work and maybe a more uniform, portfolio would be better. That last year of school made me kind of dislike art. All the advise telling me to "do this" or "do that", I really, just wanted a break to be honest. Moneywise, I still am living at home, and dumping all the money I get into my family account, that way, I don't have to live off of a crappy substitute job.
ReplyDeleteI have been working on an iphone game with a group of government engineers including my brother-in-law. I have also been working on my children's book, but it's hard when you don't have anyone to get excited about doing artwork with. I don't really miss the critiques like all the teachers said I would, but I do miss the energy and the perspective that a living in art is something to strive for, not an impossibility.
