Hello And Self improvments.

Hey all!

I hope your all well and happy! A long time has passed since I wrote a new journal entry and I thought it was about time to do so.

I have finally finished the first year of three of my games design course and upon doing so I have learned a hell of a lot through the year! Not just through work but my attitude to things in general, and writing this is a way of throwing it out there and sort of creating a written document for myself to look back on to prove to myself that through pressure and hard work, it can change you for the good and a way to stop my old lazy ways.

But anyway, during when I was doing my Games design year 1 I found myself thinking "oh this is going to be a blast! This will be a huge walk in the park." I was Naive which when I look back on it now, I'm Rather disappointed within myself for being so. but of course I soon learned how little I knew and how much I had to learn about art as a form and if I ever want to go into a conceptual art career. So many new and wonderful techniques I could learn and lots of new ways to draw! Like now I am focusing mostly on the techniques and work of Scott Robertson using his "how to draw" books as a huge guide to improving my perspective drawing and making a picture just make sense within a space. It was fantastic to learn all the brand new techniques and to be able to research not only new artiest but old too.

 

Going back to how this years made me look back at my self. Iv realized how lazy I was at most things to do with art. Such as this Deviant art page of mine and how I let it slowly die and constantly trying to water it again as a way to being it back to just let it die again. I realized that this was due to my shear lack of dedication to it which I personally didn't know till I reviewed my self and how I took art. I want to be good at art and that wont come from just twiddling my fingers!

Also with this I hope that I can be more dedicated to my second year of Games design and really push myself to be the greatest I can cause this is what iv always wanted to do and my little kid self would kick me if I failed this class and didn't do it to the best of my ability.

 

Anyway I'm sorry for rambling its 4:16 here in England and I'm so very tired. However I thought if I didn't post this now and write it down then I never would.

 

I hope you are all ok and thank you to anyone who still checks this profile from time to time!

Anyway.. same ending as always and lots of love!.

James
