His whole vibe through his pieces, even the ones with heavy dropping lines, seems like it always carries a fun/lighthearted emotion. Really enjoyed his process even if I will never fully understand Maya and other 3d modelers.

The excitement coming from the two of you is contagious!

This 5 minute video taught me more about angles than the entirety of my school career

Digital + traditional w/ micron I feel like the physical paper gave me more stabilization than my actual stabilizer setting! Maybe i should bump it up a touch.

"this is more about walking it, not talking about it" hit me like a truck!

This is something I need to work on, I have sketchbooks, but I don't really use them much, and must is just studies and not really playing around much.

When i started experimenting with ideas, i came up with an illusion by connecting opposite ledge lines on a staircase pattern, it almost looked like it was curving, but i decided i was imagining things. Well after wearing my brain out, i rewatched the lesson video and looked up Sandro Del Prete, HE USES THE EXACT SAME TRICK I CAME UP WITH! With that, i figured i would do something with a spiral staircase like his piece but with a little extra mixed in from other types of illusions. I came up with an idea at work, but it didnt pan out in the thumbnails so i settled on this. Im feeling pretty meh about it, but i havent worked with illusions before, and isometric perspective is new to me, so i cant beat myself up too much. It has an effect on the eye here and there, but the whole is kinda lacking

I've always struggled with the patience to do several sketches.

Hmm, judging from how you worded it, I've been giving my thumbnail sketches too much thought instead of letting spontaneity take over. Truly letting one aspect of your brain take over is unexpectedly difficult.

MY 2 SEMESTERS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE ARE FINALLY PAYING OFF!!! I have all the tools!
