this yr of studio art classes was so funny bc in the fall it was an entire semester of intensive painting/pixel art for nature landscapes and in the spring i took all of that and did jack shit. didn't improve a damn thing. what do you mean learn to draw buildings and objects and inanimate things no????? if its not alive i don't wanna < said someone who did the most zoomed-in illustrations in the middle of cityscapes as physically possible to avoid drawing roads/windows/towers/streetlights/etc

#im lucky the majority was just character concepts and evolution thru time progression #i can come up with designs for the same person with like a decade age difference #i can make an illustration with said design p damn well ig #can i set that illo in a city/town/village of any sort???? hell nah #drawing angular objects is so bleh blehhhhhhh (< says someone who doesnt wanna improve ik ik)#its so funny bc i had someone in the fall ask why i didnt have landscape comms up #and i was like huh wha r u kidding????#1) i have no confidence #2) opening background comms implies you can background anything which i cannot #anyway the more i trek thru school the more i realize hey maybe i like doing trad prints n stuff over gd actually..#but i also had a summer of merch design and that was sooooo much fun too #my pf is still mostly gd-centered stuff but there are some nice illos there too now #taking a printmaking class fundamentally changed me as a person n and artist....#and it was a relief print class??? imagine what i'd become if i took a screenprint course #i'd prolly beg off of gd for good tbh #but gd is still a more reachable career imo than independent artist #(says someone still planning to go to grad school for smth unrelated ghwughwegw god i must rly hate myself to want MORE uni after this)
