Gotta stay motivated.

I think one of the main reasons why I don't feel like I'm progressing is because maybe I'm bored? I don't feel like I'm learning as much as I should... And maybe I should know enough now that I apply it to my work. After all graduate studies is about focusing on a specific study. But I don't know enough. I was reading James Gurney's Journal and it's incredibly amazing how much knowledge he knows about... everything! AND he's self taught. What a guy. He understands color to the point that it becomes scientific... o_O It's mind blowing on just how much information he knows. In response to all of this:

Perspective! Figure! Colors! One of my co-workers gave me this simple idea that I never really thought of that'll make me "possibly" enjoy drawing (and by drawing I mean painting) figures... He said, paint them in different lighting... DUH! Why didn't I think of that!? I've always found reflected light to be fascinating. Why not paint it? As for perspective. I'm going to try to go plain-air (sp?) drawing. I think it's going ot be really hard, but beneficial. The only problem is where would it interest me... I suppose the library would be a good place ot start. AND if you've seen our library you'd understand.

There are lots of other things that I want to try as well (although I think I'll probably end up overwhelming myself with too many new things). One major one is exercising. Also I heard it's good for you to have 8 hours of sleep. I suppose if I can, I'll try that too? OO and eating fruits in the morning is good too. Things that I want to get into the habit of doing so that later on it's a breeze. Another thing is I want a vegan cookbook.... Now I don't want to be a vegan, but I think it'd be good to cook with the basic foundation and then add meat to it... lol ::shrugs::
