Status Update and Art issues: Volume 3

:: Drawing issues ::

I still feel I'm probably not drawing as much as I should (Majority of DA members probably think the same about themselves?) but I've got a few commissions on the go at the moment, so that forces me to get drawing on a more regular basis. I don't think anyone would argue that practice is the main cause of getting good at drawing, so I'll just have to keep it up. Perhaps try some Scenes, backgrounds or just something other than constant character design?

:: Current aims with my work ::

Wanna try to keep it fun! I do look at my work and feel a bit guilty for indulging in too much straight-forward character/outfit design mixed together with a large helping of sexiness, but at the same time I like it like that! And don't wanna start doing stuff I don't want to just because I feel I'm expected to know it all. Or maybe I'm just being stubborn?

It also wouldn't hurt to get back to basics. I've spent so much time trying to polish up my line art and CGing that I'm forgetting how to draw! ..Did I ever know how to begin with? :s

As with the last 4 years, I'll need to start thinking about a Xmas pic design too. Probably featuring Nikki. I dont think I've drawn her since last year's card! Man, I'm lazy >_<

:: Life Update ::

After 8 months of full time kitchen design and admin work, I decided to go back to education and am doing a two year "Graphic Media Foundation Degree". It's all good stuff and gives me the chance to expand my graphics, illustration and multimedia skills.  

Most days after college I'm working on commission stuff, gaming on the PC, PlayStation or Gamecube and getting a weekly dose of snooker or pool.
Xmas is coming up! Looking forward to going away again this year. Not looking forward to Xmas shopping.. Will I make another Journal update before December 25th, I wonder?
