i've just been torn a new one by my illustration teacher. she did it in a very nice way. it was because i was starting a final illustration without using my tight sketch. the weird thing is... i had completely forgotten about it. i didn't even do a tight sketch. i did my thumbnails, value studies, and color studies. i had some tight sketches but not put together as a complete sketch. as she's reprimanding me, all i could think was how i could have forgotten to do something so fundamental to my process.
then i remembered why.
when i use to enjoy making "art," i would just jump right in. it was like riding a bicycle down hill with my hands in the air yelling "WHEEEEEEEE!"
oh well.
i wish i was a florist.
