Building up a website but also courage.

So, it seems to be time for a journal since my update log is getting a little long, and maybe it's time to share some thoughts. I am getting close to getting my about page done, and I am thinking about making some art for it. Perhaps I should make some special art for links and also the sitemap later. I hope that as I grow more with coding knowledge with some sites I've linked to really make it feel fun for me and others who may enjoy it. I think the biggest challenges may just be the museum and the gallery, but I will do what I can to make it work.

In the meantime, I've been building up knowledge more so with my art with SVSLearn. I do value much of the instruction, even if I am slow to complete the assignments. Though, going through the videos lately on perspective and environment have really been more eye-opening on the instruction I learned from the prior units about how to draw everything, usually through some of the basic shapes and forms. It's funny; one of the instructors for the advanced perspective course said while drawing some of the shapes for a bedroom with two points for a perspective grid said, "This is not math." I was too good at math in school to believe that because all I saw was area and later, volume. But it's good that I did see it because it really clicked with me! Thanks to my math teachers growing up, I do see how math does apply to reality a bit better, especially to something I like so much.

Otherwise, I hope to do a bit more studying on environments and backgrounds. For a while, I've always felt that my art was a bit empty since I focus on characters so much and tend to lack inspiration on what to fill in for a background aside from some shape with a brush or with the shape tool. Aside from what I have learned lately, I should look back on some of my inspirations and some other contemporary artists when it comes to that.

What I find interesting is that what I am slowly finding a bit of courage when it comes to being a bit more equipped with not being as anxious as I should be socially, while finding imperfection to be okay and also not taking rejection so seriously. I hope I keep it up to the point of really maturing a bit more through taking bigger steps to put my art out in town, since it's more welcoming to visual artists than it used to be.
