In true chaotic studyblr fashion, I forgot this blog fucking existed

But hey, I just passed my fourth semester with a completed project (a 2D short film, created from scratch along with another 3 teammates) and decent grades! This means I'm halfway through with my degree and despite all odds I haven't dropped dead yet, definitely a win in my book

It was a hella long day, we had a color focus session today, I was the fastest but I am still drained.

I'm really enjoying the studies thought.

Now I gotta get to bed because I have 4 more days to go through.

Starting to do “Morning pages”, after Julia Cameron

I have written a few of these pages before, but then I did not take doing them seriously, so I stopped writing them. Since I miss this clarity of mind provided by just writing down whatever goes on in the old Oberstübchen that is, my head, I pulled this book from the library again, so I can start each day with something only artists do: doing morning pages.

Printed out a sticker too, so you know it is official. When you label things, they become real.

Pulling out my art student card here. For people saying "it's just basics for beginners", this is actually a terrible way to learn body shapes, guys. Understanding basic 3D shapes (form) and how to manipulate them is how you learn to draw body shapes. Copying someone else's shitty shorthand form isn't doing you any favours whatsoever, you're skipping the basics, not learning them

If you actually want to learn how to draw different kinds of bodies, you gotta learn how to break down the human body into basic forms, and then how to mess around and manipulate those forms in various ways to get the results you want. Using this strict "this form this way for men, this form this way for women" formula is not only, y'know, sexist and incorrect, it's also probably one of the worst ways to learn art

do you ever see an “art tutorial” that makes you violent

"As soon as I discovered that comics were made by people, I wanted to be one of those people, even if I didn't have anywhere near their skill set. And I still don't think I have that skill set. But the language of comics is exciting to me... Comics are a very democratic medium, and you don't need much more than a pencil and paper, as a minimum." —Art Spiegelman speaking to Hyperallergic Discover the Pulitzer Prize–winning classic that is as as relevant and impactful today as it was forty years ago.

We had a tutorial on research for our critical journals where we are supposed to review some artists' work and analyze other crtitics' opinion on it. I wouldn't say it was very hard, but the process is quite tiring, especially in a mental way.

Thursday is supposed to be more chill. Hopefully. Can't wait for the Sunday to do nothing all day.

in the end, we’ll all become stories.
