Commission progress

Yayyy! Wedding cake toppers are done!! Just needs some touchups here and there!

It was so hot today.. my house doesn't have air conditioning, and for most of the day I sat and sketched my dogs and characters... very loose drawings too.

Commissions

What I've been working on:

the images are backwards haha!

I'm working on my portfolio too, and soon will update my website.

Lessons I've learned from school:

-Work hard, because there's much to learn when you're in school.

-The professors who care will always be your toughest critics

-Be open to changing your work or starting over

-When you've hit an artist block realize it's something you're doing in your work that needs to change.

-Be open to critique, and use advice given.

-Sometimes you'll get what you believe to be crummy advice, but even crummy advice has a bit of good information in it.

-Draw draw draw draw draw

-If you find yourself unable to draw(bad drawing day)... keep drawing anyways to work yourself out of it.

-Don't draw to try to please others, make your artwork the way you want to

-technique is the most important thing to learn before finding style

-To become an artistic genius it takes hours and hours of work through out your life

-No excuses

-Have a passion for what you're doing

-find out your weaknesses and improve them.

-get out into your field of work and learn

-Network

-see what you like in other peoples work

-experience the world

-draw from personal experiences

-get inspired

-try new things

-never give up

There's probably more... But things I've learned over the years at school, and things never to forget.
