Oops
Well I sort of forgot my wordpress password…BUT I’M BACK! 8D
I haven’t been uploading drawings at all(not even on DA) because I’m so stressed out over portfolio drawings and college applications. I’m a first generation college goer and applying at the same time as my eldest niece(unintentionally) so it’s kind of a mess. I’ve always wanted to go to an art college but thought I’d better hone my skills first, then it got to the point where I figured I should just go on my own with freelancing since I’m too ‘old’ (just turned 22 on the 21st but I’m an old soul). Now I’m really looking forward to it and I feel I can do this now. I just wasn’t ready before.
15-20 portfolio pieces and I have one down! Lol. I’ll be using some of my digital work to balance it out as my foray into traditional work is lacking. Although, it is better than I thought it would be. I had visions of pre-school finger art I made but I impressed myself, really.
So…these days have been pretty much like this:
Get up, do the game job, look through my 10+ daily e-mails about sweepstakes, enter new ones, search(using swagbucks) college info, drawing tutorial/tips, figure out what to draw, study for the SAT(math sucks) online, study for the SAT by books, spend a few minutes to wrap my head around all this, freak out when I can’t, search for near art classes in vain, look at application requirements and stress out, take a shower where I keep freaking out and stressing, go to bed. I take time to eat somewhere in between those.
The End.
The Works
What’s going on with me lately besides being feverish(which is hopefully gone now) and feeling tired? I have a boatload of WIPs (Work In Progress) and I’m looking for new glasses.
Glasses are about 100-300 a pop and I definitely don’t have insurance to cover that sooo…I searched online. Of course there were some dubious businesses *cough*zennioptical*cough* but I think I’ve found a legit place: eyebuydirect.com
I’m trying on tons of frames digitally and measuring everything. I really like how you get the case, cleaning cloth, standard lenses and scratch resistance for free. Extras are cheap too, I’m thinking of getting Anti-Reflective for 7 bucks more and shipping is about 5 bucks. I’ll give you an update on them when I finally decide on a pair and receive them.
I can finally stop wearing these glasses that I believe I got either at the end of junior high(6-7th grade) or early high school(8th grade). I won’t get rid of them because they’re good, reliable backup, no matter the torture to my nose.
Anyway! Not like anyone cares about my eyewear, right? Here are some of the stuff I’m working on save for one image artweaver corrupted as I was finishing. *shakes fist*
Movies I want to see: All About Steve, 9, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The Princess and the Frog
