Work oriented

As of now, I'm mostly concentrating on school work university assignments and when I get into it, it actually becomes really fun. I've been sacrificing a lot of sleep though so I really look like a panda now.

For one of my Architectural Representation Studio assignment, I had to represent the elements of the Klein Bottle house by McBride Charles Ryan.

The case study was really difficult and I resented the idea of making it as our group's case study but now looking back on the selection and other people's choice, I'm glad we got ours cause it was really interesting and although it takes me a minimum of 6 hours per assignment, I enjoyed every second of it. I wonder what my brain's thinking about during that process. It's like I'm on auto-pilot.

Anyway, the elements that I used to represent the house was naturally the Klein Bottle and I also used the concept of light and shadow as well as origami. I thought of the idea first but when I did further research, I found an artist by the name of Kumi Yamashita who experiments with lights, shadows and origami as well. She inspires me even more to become creative.

And thus, when I presented my first few assignments to my professor, he said that I did a good job and that it was interesting. For those works I got around 28 marks out of 30.

When I showed him the assignment I did for elements he literally said "Wow." and looked quite taken aback by it. He even proceeded to show it to the other two professors and for that one I got 30 marks.

I felt really good and proud of myself because for that assignment alone I spent close to 10 hours and it felt good that all my hard work and ideas were appreciated. He even said I had potential to constantly get full marks for the next few exercises and I resolve to do so. After all, I'm aiming for a scholarship.

I'm certain that many more of my classmates got full marks as well but it's nice knowing that I'm the youngest in class and I made something really impressive that he just had to talk about it with the other two professors. I really hope I won't disappoint them in the future.

When I get back home during the holidays, I plan to at least study an hour a day, no matter how tired I am. I also want to really finish my other assignment from another course and hopefully the execution is as good as the idea.

And now to study Urban Planning. :)

I know what I want

I just have no idea why I never saw this sooner.

I really have to thank Mandy for introducing drawing to me at a young age. Without that catalyst, I wouldn't have ever even ventured into drawing and even if I did, I might have given up at the first few steps.

On another subject, I just finished reading Koisuru Boukun which is a really good yaoi manga and I never expected to ever find one after Junjou Romantica. I think good yaoi characters always have the best style of drawing. After reading page after page, your drawing can improve, like really.

I want to be a mangaka and maybe even an animator. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to reach this dream but I know for sure that it'll take more practice and experience and time. I want to pursue this dream.

For now though, I'll oblige to my parent's wishes before I start to really work hard on the other dream.
