To day was pretty
entertaining. In Mitch’s class we began drawing creature design and for the
first time in ages I felt like I could actually do it. Creature design is
something I really enjoy doing and being actually able to do this as part of
this degree was really amazing. I loved the freedom and the fun and laid back
approach to the class, it seriously made the lecture so much nicer to be in. I
felt confident, which is a new for me regarding art. I just forgot about all
the stress and worries I was having and just kind of zoned into this space
where I was just doodling like I used too, like I wanted too. I have missed
that feeling so much as with new projects, I just feel like I can’t get
excited, and if I can’t feel that way then I find it difficult to produce work
that is acceptable. This is a big negativity when it comes to the idea of
working in industry (even though I know I won’t be).
In the afternoon
was the life drawing, as I have said so many times previously, I really enjoy
it, I had to swap seats a few times to be able to see but other than that I really
enjoyed it. It was so relaxing and it was great just to try different things
and experiment with the contour and the shapes of the human body.
I really miss the
way previous years have been set up though, I miss the critical studies film on
a Wednesday as I really enjoyed the different types of films we used to watch
and the general atmosphere in the lecture hall and it was always interesting
writing about the film afterwards as I used to enjoy evaluating films for my
Film Studies A Level.
I also miss the
trips to places to draw for visual design, actually knowing and talking about
what we were meant to be doing, or designing awesome creatures, that was
something I really miss now.
I wish I had more
time to practise my 2D but I’m so busy trying to figure out 3D still that it
has most of my time consumed. I miss doing pages upon pages of little doodles
sitting in abbey park drawing trees and things. I’m really not confident with
how this rooftop project is going and quite frankly I’m worried about tomorrow.
I try my best with it but it’s never good enough and there are always a
multitude of problems. I’m hoping the FMP will go better. I can’t wait for this
project to be completed.
