semester 1 reflection

Quality of work.
when it comes to the quality, i tended to try to quickly get an idea down slowly revise it as i go along, its a weird way of doing it but it works really well. I tend to do my own thing when it comes to concept, but I do keep to the rules, I hate relying on outside sources, it doesen't make it feel like my own work. I don't usually complete art quickly unless I'm extremely focused, so my work may not always get turned in on time, but it's only because i want to make sure its perfect. as said before, I change things as I go, it may be a little slow, but it gets the job done.

Effort
I'm generally slow when it comes to coming up with ideas or concepts, but I try, sometimes I zone out while working in order to gain some ideas. some times I do go for an easier solution, but not very often, i tend to only do that when I panic. as for difficulty, I don't give up on things, how ever, when I can't figure something out, I tend to get very frustrated, so I sometimes step away from it to calm down, and review a few references before trying again. to be completely honest I want to take risks, but I get scared I'll fail, or I'll upset others so I generally don't. And no, I don't have a positive attitude towards my own art because frankly, its horrible.

Participation
I'm most definitely am on time to class, the only time I was ever late was when I got lost. I do try to work the entire block, however sometimes I tend to lose inspiration, and zone out in order to regain my original idea in which I started out with. I try to do things on my own, because stubborn-ness, but we all need help, so I do ask for help. as for staying on task, or focusing on one thing at once has always been difficult for me, so I tend to do more then one thing at a time, sometimes I'll have my sketchbook out and doodle random things to gain an idea of what I should do.

Improvement
I already created my own regular art style, I however don't know my digital art style yet, but I want to go into the field of game design or something along those lines, so I plan on improving my photoshop skills, and my art skills in general. as seen before, I NEED to have better self-confidence, to be honest I don't think i belong here, my art is horrendous. but seriously this is actually my first time working with photoshop, so I'm definitely slow, however I plan on getting a lot better!! SO EXPECT IMPROVEMENTS!!!!!!!
