Am I dead? Nope, just inking out everything ever. Finally, a well begun concentration. Well, there's flaws in these pictures for sure, but I think it's my best work still. Having a light tracer really helps me transition my sketches to ink easily, opposed to having to erase and dull the ink and all this other annoying crap. I've also bugun practicing ink drawing with a dip pen, which is messy and all, but I really love the effect. Once I get the hang of the process involved and using it, I'll probably make a lot of pictures. I should really see what media will work with it well so I can color ink drawing I do with it, too.
Anyway, these pictures reflect the amount of time involved really well, I think. That last one was done over time, but the two before were finished in about a night. Working over time is something I don't like, but I'll have to get used to doing. I'd rather just work non-stop overnight or something...cramming has become my style, I guess. Shifting focus is hard to completely do.
In printmaking I've...well, I'm learning new processes, which is good, but I haven't really made any good work so far. I guess I'm just not good at learning something new that quickly. Hopefully I'll be able to make good printwork in the future, even if that means I'm out of the class then.
So I guess that's what I've been doing. Tomorrow is the first day of my last full month in high school. Kinda intense. I've been working as hard as I can to end on the best note possible. I've also been trying to spend my free time drawing and other things that have a productive outcome instead of being online all the time (I know, what's posessed me?) so that I'm prepared for whatever after highschool brings.
....Though I still need a job. Anyone hiring?
