It has been a really weird ride lately. But it felt like I was slowly going back to my old self again. Wasting my life infront of a computer playing minecraft, and job hunting... Yes I do still practice my gesture drawings, but it wasn't as intense as before where I would draw 4-6 pages a day, it's now down to 1 page a day....
Until my mentor left me a note on my wall (Facebook hahaha). He said:
Jordan-Tan Kok Siung, please get famous one day so I can sell your sketchbook that you left with me for big money.
I did leave him my sketch book that he told all of his students to fill it with gesture drawings. Infact, out of his entire working career life and classes that he teaches in the studio, I was the first person to finish a sketch book and hand it in to him....
It reminded me when I was completely enthusiastic about learning the secrets to become a better artist/animator. I believed in his guidance, and I believed that regardless of talents or skills, practice is what makes perfection. Well... of course it has to be a perfect practice, cuz if you mindlessly practice something without understanding the basics of it, then you're just a machine doing it's job.
When I read that quote, it completely knock me back on track on what I'm supposed to be doing. Yes I tend to go off track and completely forgot what I'm suppose to be doing, most likely due to games brain washing me from my plans, and I still suspect that I have ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder, short attention/focus span on something, or maybe it's just not my interest at all...
Well, whatever it is, I feel like I'm back on track again.
THANKS JASON XD!
