So since my last blog update I said I was hoping to do work
pretty much all the time so I can develop my skills faster. Well I have been
keeping to it more or less things aren't going as well as expected, here’s the problem
– I seem to be lagging behind with work already, which is an awful start to
this year. And it’s not to do with not putting the effort in.
As proof I've not been procrastinating (well not
proof, but I guess you’ll have to take my word for it) I just got up, showered,
had breakfast and I’m typing this before I go off to my morning lecture in 20 minutes,
I would usually use this time to browse something stupid on the interwebs or
something. But that’s the old me, this is the new me.
I think one of the
main culprits of this ‘lack of work’ is that I’m starting to try out different
techniques for digital painting - researching
it then putting it into practice, which takes time. I could never get to grips
with it last year so I’m determined to this year, and to also find my painting
style. Maybe this is the lull I have to work through before I see the benefits
of the work to pay off. I just have to make sure I don’t loss my momentum and
get demotivated, which could happen easily.
I think I might have deluded myself :/. I’m telling myself I’m
keeping to a plan, but actually I’m not, I’ll work for 10 minutes then procrastinate
for 15. The work plan I have is just in my head not on paper, so maybe I don’t feel
it’s real, so I don’t follow it? I don’t know. But what I’m going to do is knock up a plan on paper in a
couple of days. Hopefully because its real I’ll keep to it….well that’s the
idea.
Expect an update with a plan in the next few days, until then
I got some work to do.
