Art!

I have recently picked up the art of drawing! Art has always been a strong passion of mine. However throughout my entire life I have been intimidated by the act of drawing. I can normally pick up something and it doesn't take me too long to figure it out, however I feel like drawing has been the hardest thing in the world for me to grasp. I even do good at some other styles of art such as sculpting. I suppose that a big difference is that I am really good at 3d art but have difficulty at making 2d things on surfaces of paper. However I have spent hours of my life looking at speed paints online and other art sites. But recently I decided that I would tackle art and the past two years I have been filling up sketchbook after sketchbook. And that is even when I decided that I really want to get into the computer science animation. Within the last year my art has been on on an up rise, especially this semester as I have taken several art classes on campus, with drawing and 3d modeling.

 The figure sketching class that I am currently in is hands down the most fun class I have ever taken as a student here at BYU, or even all of my school together. It's a really simple class as well, we come in for 3 hours and sketch live models. Anyone else who may be a student here on campus might be interested to know that there is a three hour open lab for figure sketching on Fridays from 9 to 12 in the afternoon. I suppose honestly that I get stressed out a lot and deal with anxiety on a regular basis, but there has been nothing so far that has proven more relaxing than simply sitting down with a project in hand, even if that involves picking up a pencil or piece of chalk, going at it! Already within the past couple months my skill has exponentially increased majorly. I am constantly searching for new ideas and ways of practice, as well as study the arts of other individuals!
