I felt it time to sit down and actually get some blog on my blog. Granted, I'm always super excited whenever I finish a picture, but I think it's important to take the time and reflect once and a while.
Upon reviewing my portfolio with Danielle for this springs Art Carreer Concern's class I realized that most of the finished work I have consists of portraits! I never thought of myself as a portrait artist, but whether it was for a class or just characters from my stories, a majority were in fact PORTRAITS!
So, Danielle picked a couple that would be good for a series, but I've given myself the challenge of making a series of posters. If the're good, I hope that I will be able to use them for the class. I told Danielle this, but my suspicion is that portraits are easier, conceptually for me, and so I think that's why I gravitate towards them for projects. To counter this, I plan on making these posters full scenes, consisting of full, or mostly full bodied characters as well as scenery and in full color!
There's the goal people! It's written and now I just have to accomplish it!
The first chapter of the textbook for the class focuses a lot on setting goals and organization. One of the steps is to write out long term and short term goals, then pinpointing requirements to accomplish them and scheduling deadlines for each. So, above is the goal people.
I will try to finish one poster each week starting today! There's the deadline. Wish me luck!
On a side note..
Here's a finished piece!
