ok.. im 22 right now..guess that's 3 long years since i last updated my journal. Well at that time i did say that i hope im kept inspired and keep on doing and posting artwork online... but guess what? i die off to "don't know where", lose a bit of my passion and then some more of it... i didnt upload much work after that, the rest are mostly past work that i forgot to upload.. the rest that didnt make are probably commercial work or those that i lost interest in finishing...
i still love art, every bit of it, but ever since my 2nd year in Dmd burnt my ass, i just turn into a passive admirer of art... gradually, never making time to produce personal work, if i had any free time, it will be spent on entertainment or rest, any work done during these times are commercial which has a significant amount of pressuring thrown by the bosses... that's why its "done"...
and as time passes by, my skills deteorate somewhat drastically... i think...
anyway, recently i started to try again, starting from doing small easy pieces of art, and i discover that what i lack was patience, the patience that i used to have in abundance... i used to be able to do work for 10 straight hours, i never questioned how long a piece might take, i just do it. the longest one i did was a painting for 3 days, normally b/w sketches would usually take up at least 4 hrs. but ever since i discovered the digital medium, i lost the virtue gradually. at first its ok to paint for 2 days or even a week, then my skills start to increase tremendously, i able to grasp the concept of painting in shapes pretty fast, this resulted in a teremendous speed increase, i can paint a decent stuff in a day, then in 4 hours!! and then some even an hour...(okay that one is so-so quality..) so does that mean that the digital mesium is to blame??? hell no... still im to blame for my lack of patience... so that's why right now im working in small easy pieces at a time nt only to build my skill but also, most importantly, patience, back.
Now i swear an oath to myself that i must start to work hard again and complete all the personal works that have been neglected for so long, and do some more new impressive pieces, producing them not only in quantity but also in quality. Of course, it will be done one at a time slowly, albeit at a constant pace. After all all great works doesnt occur overnight, its the numerous little things that makes a miracle- as vincent van gogh put it.
so enough of rambling, lets see how i fare, this time, next year. all the best to the rest of you
