Wowow im 18 now fabulous 

Sorry I haven't put anything on lately, im going through a quality v quantity debate in my mind right now, and i never have access to internet anymore because my universities first semester is over. 

Im going to be doing animation next semester! i super exicted to actually be taught something, (I've never learnt anything from anyone in terms of art IRL)

Do not ever, ever stop drawing traditionally when you get your first tablet. This is what I did, I stopped my traditional drawing and didn't draw traditionally for 2 YEARS, i have got better in some aspects, but nothing is a good a teacher as pencil and paper. I feel like i cant make those perfect lines any more, i have grown so impatient with my work, and because I'm impatient, i tend to take longer on a single drawing than i used to, because I'm making so many mistakes, then i want to go look at Facebook..... by then I've lost interest completely. Take this from me, if you enjoy something, don't stop doing it, just because you think other people 'want' you to. since the beginning of this year I have been more active on this site than i have ever been. I have made heaps of friends and a vast majority of them are talented in both traditional and digital mediums. 

Also, i have a question. does a cintiq (screen tablet) feel the same way as it would as pen and paper? I'm seriously thinking of saving up money for one of those bad-boys. Do you guys think I'm even ready for one? (probably not)

Ok, i had a mental breakdown, i couldnt sleep the other night which led to a whole two days of unproductiveness, and on top of that, I have been watching these videos made by CalArts enrolers of their portfolio sketch books, They are FREAKIN amazing, the amount of hard work they put into these sketchbooks, I cant even describe.

They get rejected.

Though they are mainly traditional artists, the amount of hard-work and dedication they have, is well above mine, if I want to get taken seriously, i need to take myself seriously, also, I don't know what stream of illustration i want to go into, I wanted to write comics when I was in school, but now fashion illustration seems nice, yet I have this whole digital painting idea looming over my head. And all this time I have about 2 irl people supporting me. Pretty depressing.

its really hard to draw them. really hard.
