| - Knowledge, the information you gain through observation, experience, reading, doing, feeling. All these methods will prepare you for the things you will need later. - Standards, beginning to understand varying levels of accepatbility, for yourself, for others - you employers, etc. - Assessment, being able to accept critiquing from others reguardless of how much it may hurt your pride at the time. Remember: good instructors are not critiquing you as a person, they are critiquing a drawing. The statement, “That’s a really crappy drawing.” does not mean “You’re a really crappy person.” although we tend to feel that way the majority of the time. You must begin to separate yourself from the product and realize, hey, it’s just a drawing! - Start to deal with the increased demands you’ll place on yourself. Realize how much more there is to know and how much farther there is to go. This is only the first few steps in a very long journey that will only end the day you either decide never to draw again, or the day you die. - The gap between KNOWLEDGE and ACTUAL ABILITY is huge. This is where we must begin the long journey, with the first steps. (this is startting to sound like a fortune cookie, isn’t it?) |
