I recently got a job in construction, and the hours are killing my drawing time. I was always afraid to work construction, because so many people like the money so much that they never leave and get stuck in it for their whole life. I'm glad to announce that I'm not one of those people. I enjoy the hard work, and I don't mind the hours, and of course I enjoy the pay, but it's not me. I'm not drawing and it kills me. I will move on from this job. And eventually, someone's going to pay me to draw.
On that note, good news! I'm enrolled for classes this fall. I'll be chasing my BFA in Illustration at Utah Valley University. It's gonna be a long road, but if it gets me a job telling stories with my pencil, every second of struggle will be worth it. I'm very excited.
I'm sorry for not posting (I like to pretend people read this.) Maybe I should post a sketchdump. At least then there would be some more recent stuff on here... That's it. Sketchdump post coming soon!
hi cord...i like your Dedication towards Art and Animation but how are you handle your Construction work and BFA together as BFA is a full time course??
ReplyDeleteHowdy, Aloke. Actually I'm lucky enough to have a very nice boss that is giving me part-time hours during school. So I'll be taking class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and I'll work on Tuesday and Thursday. It's going to be a full schedule, but I've got to make it work.
