Hey!
Mainly just updating to get the old update out of the way. The kickstarter didn't get funded, sadly, but hopefully we'll still get to see a sequel to A Vampyre Story.
Overall I've had a great summer, artwise. I finished the lovely online course at coursera with a shiny diploma that will never serve me or my curriculum whatsoever AND!
It was great. An entire week of intense croquis and study sessions.
To sum up the week, I'll use this epic quote from one of the co-instructors: "Did you guys know the neck is actually a cylinder? I didn't!"
I learned a lot about the principles of classical drawing and I'm now considering the possibilities for getting into a semester course at the Drawing Academy after finishing high school. I think I would enjoy that very much and grow a lot artistically. The only problem is that it's expensive as heck! So I'm starting a piggy bank and keeping my eye out for possible jobs. That way I'll hopefully avoid using up all my savings during my first year out of high school. But I'll bide my time. The drawing academy is still there in a year or two.
>_> I hope.
So yeah - on the lookout for jobs and good drawing teachers in real life. Fun stuff.
On a sadder note, at the beginning of July my grandfather passed away. He was one of the few persons who actually followed my activity on DA and he was, as my american host sister would have put it: "Such a character!" A few of the drawings in my gallery are even dedicated to him. I'll miss him a lot. Him and all his crazy, creative ideas and sayings.
Oh and of course, summer here in Denmark means festivals: Awesome live music, getting drunk and sleeping in a tent has been a vital part of my summer.
And now to enter my last year of high school! WHEW! I'll have scaringly few lessons and hopefully I'll be able to put all the extra time to good use. I still don't know on what, but something will show up. Something always shows up.
So far my goals for this year are:
- SAVE UP!
- Figure out what to do with my life after high school. And if not, at least decide on whatever and see where it takes me.
- GET ALL THE A'S! Or B's. B's totally work too.
- Be in the school play.
- Work a week in a bike repair shop
- Learn how to juggle
