And thus it continues...

Back to school!

It's been the first week back and what can I say? 2nd semester is SO much better than the first. Obviously, like I mentioned before, the 1st semester had introductory courses that was boring enough and dry enough to make me go "zzz." Now that those are past and I've fully recovered from my illness during my one week break - I am back in gear and ready to roll.

I like my courses for 2nd semester right now. In particular, I think I'm interested in Flash. Just because it is an animation based program and since I was once an aspiring animation student, it's sort of fulfilling that need for me to animate something. I haven't touched Flash in ages but it really came back to me what the program was like. Not that I was ever pro at it but first class pretty much refreshed my memory of the things I knew before.

Overall, 2nd semester = me likey.

So the challenges I have decided to give myself whilst I'm on the grind is also to continue to illustrate/create/paint/paper make etc. etc.

I realized that during the 1st semester I totally neglected illustrating and drawing and because I feel as though I can handle school at this moment, I want to challenge myself by not forgetting to illustrate.

I really want to get better. :(

1) My first challenge (which does not sound hard at all) is to finish an illustration by this Halloween. I have like 3 months to do this so I really don't think I'll have much trouble.

I have already done the preliminary sketch for it and made a good outline base to start my work. Anyways. 3 solid months to finish this simple illustration. I don't think it'll be that difficult....I think.

Here is the sketch.

And the outline.

I always find sketches always look better. lol.

2) Second challenge is to try to take anatomical classes. I need to practice body proportions more.

2 challenges while I'm in school. Oh and to do more freelancing.

Doesn't sound too bad. haha :P
