Day 13 - Last Post

So... You see.. I decided that I really like blogging, which lead me to realizing, maybe I should do it for a living?

So, I started learning from other bloggers, and from what I found, oh my gosh!
I've been doing it all wrong.

First off, the writing.
I don't use any power-words. I use "so", "it" and "well" too often.
I also word-poop a lot.

Secondly, I talk about myself all the time. Heck, the whole blog is about me.
The reader is non-existent (sorry guys).

Last but not least, I tried to post every single day. Huge mistake! No wonder I ran out of material. To be honest, however, I did do the right thing by taking a step backward instead creating empty/useless posts just to meet my ridiculous quota.

So... (yes I used it again, hard habit to break), with this being said, this is my last post here.
I'll be starting a blog for illustrators / designers, and there I'll be focusing on methods that can help us  stay motivated and productive. It's an overwhelming task but I'll give it my best.

Again, sorry for not thinking about the readers (you) more. If you did somehow manage read any of my posts, thanks :-)

Day 11 - Because I Already Found Mojo

Rendering an apple - Another "comparing" exercise Last Saturday, I decided not to blog over the weekend in order to reflect about what I should be writing. That however escalated into a relapse where I started ignoring my new ways completely. I didn't paint or write until today. " The Nothing " had befallen me again, which is making me sad and anxious. I'm not really sure what happened, and I even went through the techniques I learned to figure out what I was doing and why. I did not like the answers. I'm just bored of it all. I doubt this has anything to do with depression, but I'm positive that it will be the case if this continues. I started this blog as a means to regain mojo, and I believe I found plenty— I learned a couple of life-hacks to free myself of "Nothing", I painted daily (and enjoyed it), and I was facing the demons that came along the way. So why did I relapse? Just boredom? Fear? One thing is certain, my blo...

Day 8 - Back To Basics #1 (Shapes)

I didn't manage to fall asleep until 3am this morning, but in my defense, I wasn't stalling or using technology. I just failed to sleep (and that's probably a result of the endless sleep procrastination cycles I subjected myself to over the years) :-( In any case, no point dwelling on failures when I'm in the process of correcting them. I decided that today's method will be to review parts of the material and exercises I learned while attending an Imaginism workshop years ago. I'll be going over my notes about planes light & shadows how to render basic shapes and I'll be blogging in the meantime. So let's go. I've reviewed these notes a million times over the years, but for some reason, I always end up forgetting some of the most important points. Warning! If you have no interest or experience in how to paint light and shadow, I suggest you skip the following list. Don't read it or you'll get bored and confused. I don...
