I Swear, I'm Not Abandoning dA

  • Playing: Guild Wars... lots and lots of GW
  • Eating: Ramen... always!
  • Drinking: alcoholic beverages
Ok, like my title says, I haven't forgotten dA. I do check back every now and then. I just haven't been productive at all. At least, in my sense of being productive.
I feel I'm only good at one thing: drawing costume designs.
I can draw realism. I've been doing that this past whole semester (I took Drawing II, which focuses on drawing the human form). It's just so boring and constrictive to me. Then, I took this "Issues and Images of Contemporary Art" class where, literally, the only thing we got graded on was a sketchbook we turned in at the end of the semester. It had no boundaries, meaning we could draw whatever we wanted. This was the only comment I got I picked up my sketchbook (which was essentially filled with anime drawings of my characters and various costume designs): good effort but predictable.
What the fuck kind of comment/critique is that!?!? I had two professors for that course, where we watched movies most of the time, and neither of them could take the time to write me more than one phrase (not even an entire sentence) of criticism. Yeah, that's real helpful.
But, on the other hand, I've gotten a lot of encouragement from my costume design professor (who is also my advisor). She wants me to be the assistant costume designer with her for the first mainstage production of the fall semester!!!
I'm excited! =D It's going to be a great learning experience, and I love my professor, so it'll be awesome.
I dunno. There's so many things I want to do. I really need to work hard this summer. Get things done for once. Argh! I need to get working!!!
