School just ended for the Summer. Once again I did very well in all my classes, and completed various projects. The two I am most proud of are a short Flash animated movie, and I also engineered my first song.
I'm really enjoying learning about music, and it has taught me many things. Most of which I can apply to almost everything else that I encounter in life.
Lately I've realized that I CAN apply these skills to everything else. It all seems to come from the same place. There was a time when I would fret over being good at drawing AND music, for instance. Understanding these trades, or any other for that matter, uses the same basic concept, but applied uniquely. Since I realized this I have seen myself grow more rapidly than I thought possible.
Over the past while, I have really found myself missing writing stories, and drawing characters. I constantly have stories and characters floating around in my mind, but its almost as though I have been too scared to realize them. So, today, for the first time in a long time, I got the lead out. It had been a considerable ammount of time since I had drawn any characters, but I used that to my advantage and I was able to approach it from a completely new perspective. Results are promising. Things are looking positive for my 3D work as well.
These coming months are looking really good. I've got stories I need to tell, and its up to me to realize them.
