Hey, so sorry about the lack of submissions lately, I only have one word in explanation of my extended absence--college. It's been a blast thus far, and I've done a lot of great works that I plan to scan and upload as soon as I can, because I would love to share them with you guys and get some feedback on how I am improving. I've definitely learned a lot, and now that I'm in my 4th semester of college, I'm starting to get into the really fun art classes. This semester, I'm taking Computer Arts, Design and Color II and Intro to Illustration. So far, we've only gone over syllabi and stuff, but it looks like it's gonna be another pretty intense, but pretty awesome semester. I'm excited to try new methods and mediums--last semester I did watercolor and loved it, and this semester I'll be working with some acrylics, which will be really good to try out.
Also, I'm really stoked that my professor for both Design and Color II and Intro to Illustration is one of the artists who worked for DreamWorks and did tons of painted backgrounds for the animated films The Road to El Dorado, Sinbad, Spirit and collaborated with the people who made the 2D animated Clone Wars series. He's an amazing artist, and a great instructor who doesn't take crap, but at the same time is really interested in being encouraging in his criticism rather than destructive. I'm soooo excited to have this opportunity to learn from him.
He also teaches Media Experimentation, which I definitely
have to take in the future.
Oh, also I just got a premium membership! It was a gift from
as a part of the Give One Get One deal that Deviantart did for the Holidays and I won the raffle! I'm so happy to finally have this! So expect to see me totally
abusing trying out all the new features.
Being able to search 120 images at a time and without ads is definitely a perk.
Anyway, that's enough from me. I'll try to post on the weekends, when I'm a little less busy, but otherwise, know that I'm learning and lot and expect some huge artdumps when I get the time.
