It's good to see people agree with my evaluation of myself. I dislike Google and am trying to avoid G+, but I may give it a try if facebook keeps pissing me off.
Yeah. I have to read, but I haven't done it yet. I'm procrastinating. I need to draw as well. I think I will get off soon and do that.
Don't worry about it. I mean, you do have to, but don't put so much pressure on yourself for a perfect piece and what you cannot do. Focus on what you can and make use of that. And if you make a mistake, see what else you can make from it? Happy accidents and whatnot. I hate to see people give up on art because they are uncertain of their abilities. You'll only improve if you do it. smile
Yeah, I'm keeping all of the syllabi handy. Bleh.
Well, as far as "practice" goes for me, I was never one to painstakingly draw the same thing over and over again (although I spent about two hours today drawing blind-contour hands). I just draw whatever is in my imagination. I feel that that works best for me. I get my ideas out and, so long as I accomplish them as much as I can with my abilities, I can come back to them later when I improve. I just want to keep creating.
I know you can do it Jasp!
Does thinking about writing count?
Mostly being a sounding board for other writers at the moment. And occasional editing when the boyfriend finishes something.
Projects like presentations and papers and whatnot. I really do need to write them down. Also tons of reading, but that's rather negligible in some instances. sad You are an artist! There's no pretending involved. If you have the desire to make art--and do--then you are an artist. If you cant' achieve what you want to yet, then practice until you can't practice anymore and then I'm sure you'll make a breakthrough.
I do hope that things mellow out though.
Geez, I totally forgot what I was going to say.
Now I think I vaguely remember. My schoolwork isn't too bad, just lots of reading. And I feel like there are all of these little projects that might slip by me, much to my dismay.
Ooo, that sounds super interesting! Like, REALLY interesting. Well, when I paint--which is few and far between sadly--I usually paint small pictures. I have some projects for larger paintings, but canvases can be somewhat expensive.
