Hi Everyone!
It has been a while since I updated my journal so I thought it was about time to update.
After I got out of spring term, I took the summer off. I didn't want to be lazy though, so I set myself two large goals to complete before fall term started up again:
1. Complete a 100 page sketchbook front to back
2. Develop a new, unique style.
The first goal is well underway and I am near completing it. I feel as if I have improved a great deal although I still have a ton to learn.
It takes me a long time to complete each page because I draw really slow so this is a huge goal for me. I still have a lot to do but I'm confident that I can complete it in time!
The second goal to me is more important. I realize that my work has no correlation between the pieces that brings them together so I wanted to develop a unified style. I've been working about two months on a new series of pieces that hopefully you will get to see soon.
I will try to post a WIP of one of them soon so you can have a sneak peak of what I'm doing.
Finally, I will be doing some cleaning up on my deviantart page soon. There are a lot of older anime pieces I drew that are nothing more than copies from the original artwork. I don't think that I should keep stuff up in my deviantart page that wasn't original work. To me there is a difference between Fan-art and copying. Back then I didn't know the difference, but now it is time for them to go and for me to move on. I cannot keep these pieces in my gallery anymore. I hope you will all understand and support my decision without too much judgement.
Anyway, I will be starting my fall term in a couple of weeks and look forward to getting back in the swing of things. Until then, I have a lot of work ahead of me to not only complete these two goals, but to finish some other smaller goals that I have set for myself. Until the next Journal entry, I wish you all the best in your artistic endeavors!
