Update

Ah haven't written one of these in a while. Just going to give an update generally about how my work is going, because I've missed out a lot of others. Many I think this is because of the character project, I had to start it again because it wasn't good enough and now I feel very pressed for time. Everything else has been put on the back burner. But yeah, I'm going to try and catch up on some critical studies first off.

Last week, I finished the trash project. I think this turned out alright. I'm not going to repeat what I've put on my design document, but rather I'm going to say my personal feelings on these projects. For me, this project took way to long. I was trying to start off the character project at the same time and I don't think it was very productive for both projects. Can't believe it took 3 weeks to make a pile of trash, I'm quite disappointed with my time management.

I also started the urban environment project in visual design. This is where we draw  outdoor places in Leicester city. I've got the sketches done, but I'm about a week behind in visual design. I've decided which thumbnail I want to use to paint the final piece ( the fountain with the pigeons). I've also got another project to finish, the war of the worlds sculpting project.  I've got a bit of the model done, but its long legs are a pain, and it's not at a good enough quality to put in the oven yet, I'm just not happy with it.

I've been trying to keep up with my gesture drawings and also my 30 minute speed paints, but honestly other things have been taking priority. I do think they will help me get better though, so I will continue them once I have the time. Honestly I don't know if this is the computer and tablet problems catching up with me, or if I haven't been organising my time properly. I have been working every day and missing the films to catch up but I still seem to be behind, but I guess I need to push myself harder. I'm just hoping I can get everything finished in time for Christmas and the formative assessment.
