Also, my theory for doing a lot of academic HW in advance is working, I've done enough stuff in advance that I have at least 5 days free to do or study art without distraction. It's so great, while my friends worry about their homework or incoming tests, I'm all like "Baha suckas, I got it all under control." Right now I'm studying Linear Perspective and then after that on to Color Theory and Watercoloring (just basic water coloring, no pony sorry). Then the second most important thing (for me anyway); Figure Drawing.
I believe an artist should get their fundamentals down before beginning to create, my faults have been jumping into drawing without having a solid foundation that an artist should have. Right another aside from the aforementioned, I'm trying to create a fictional Art Course, for myself and my local friends who also are beginner or amateur artists. I'm very good at teaching so this will be a great way to improve, both myself and for the advancement of others.
This will be implemented into my biography during the clean-up but until that happens I'll place it here:
I am a Hobbyist Artist, meaning my Official Occupation is not being an artist, it is however my passion and would have been my Major would it not for my knowledge of the financial difficulties of being one. I am trying to be a Computer Engineer; don't get me wrong I (ironically against what my High School transcript says) actually like math, and computers, who are paid rather well starting out, and even more so with experience! This is a common practice for those who want to pursue a profession that no longer pays well as it used to, using a high paying position to finance their true career. Not to say Computer Engineering is something I'm against, I actually hope to work with companies that deal with visual systems like Adobe, Intel, ATI, Microsoft, etc. so that I can combine Computer and Art together. This also why explains I like to work with both Digital and Traditional art mediums, apart they're fine, together they push things even further. My name is BoxedSurprise, and I Love Being an Artist (and pineapples).
Have a Great Day!
Sincerely,
BoxedSurprise
