Weekly Update #3 (Feb 16-28th)

So this week I've had a very difficult time getting rest and my momentum on drawings has slowed but I'm still loving what I'm doing. Or maybe the momentum hasn't slowed and it just seemed like it to me for some reason. Unfortunately the main blog still hasn't been introduced to many people but I really hope it does soon. We started doing crit groups which I really enjoyed, even though I didn't get much feedback on how to improve/what to do next. I think most people don't know what to suggest because of my use of digital media and not just traditional, but I did take on board one suggestion of actually making my own brushes which has helped me with the digital painting I made this week.

Those damn trees were such a pain. Made in Photoshop CS5

Weekly Update #2 (Feb 15th-22nd)

I don't feel as though I've done as much this week, although this could be due to me focusing on editing a video using After Effects. I've never used Adobe After Effects before so it took me a while to get the hang of it and fix things that went wrong the first time I exported my video. However, I'm very happy with the result, I had a chance to finish the video on Tuesday right before I had to go all the way to Brentwood again. I also did a whole lot in my sketchbook this week so that was good. I do believe that this video editing has a lot of potential to it.

Weekly Update #1 (Feb 7-14)

So this is my first real post on this blog...I've had a very busy week this week between sorting out my FMP proposal/timetable, making as many painting/drawings as I could (mostly based on my sister's sculpture and of other wolf photos), making both this blog and the UCA Pre-Degree Fine Art blog, having to sort out my visa renewal in London and having to go all the way back home to Brentwood for a doctor appointment which has left me in pain. However, I am very excited for this project...I have so many ideas going on in my head that it's making it difficult to sleep hence me making this post at 1 A.M (although I won't post this till later). Overall I'm happy with the amount of work I've done this week and I really hope people enjoy using this blog system. I might get somewhat personal on mine but on my weekly updates I'll try to keep it mostly uni related, but I find talking about other things sometimes helps.
