"The only way you can find what you're capable of is by trying your absolute hardest. True failure comes from not trying!"

Bobby Chiu


"it is crucial for a storyteller to get lost."

Guillermo Del Toro


"A day lost to procrastination is a day worse you’ll be in a year."

Jeremy Geddes


“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.”

Denis Waitley


"No man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth, without caring two pence how often it has been told before, you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

C. S. Lewis


“There’s only one rule I know of: goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

Studies - Posting Online?

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 29, 2012, 4:05 PM

Edit: I'm also curious about what your opinions are on posting personal studies of professional photographs on ones blog. Do any of you do this? Do you think there's a problem with doing it? It would be really wonderful to be able to share my studies and not have to stick to only posting the ones done from stock or film stills, but I don't want to do anything wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey everyone!

I've noticed that my visual library is severely lacking and my drawing skills have been getting worse and worse over the last year. This is mainly because I've stopped doing studies T_T SO I'm changing that, and hoping to start doing at least a study a day. If I'm not working on paintings, i'll be trying to make sure I'm doing a study, instead of waffling away most of my time on the internet.

Anyways, the main point of my posting this journal is that I wanted to get your opinions on study schedules. Do you usually stick to studying one topic a day? Or do you study a whole bunch of different topics? I'm asking because I'm not sure if I should be focusing on one thing a day in order to actually learn something. Another problem with me is the fact that my attention span kinda sucks, so I get bored easily. Do you guys think I can absorb anything if I'm jumping from topic to topic?

I'm going to be trying different ways myself but I just wanted to see what you all think. It helps to get different views on things :)

p.s. omg I only just realized there are categories for journals too >_<
