Lindsey Harrington (Linverse)- Art School Journey

The start of my Art School Journey with all of you! The day is July 6th, 2022. Truth be told, I actually recently graduated college back in December with a Bachelor's Degree in Animation/Illustration. I feel like college definitely helped me, but I still feel lost. I feel lost as in I don't know what my art style is/want it to be, I feel like my skills should be a lot better than they actually are (especially after attending college! I want IMPROVEMENT ) , and I'm trying to figure out where I want to go first and how to get there. Many times, especially after graduating, when I go to start an illustration (or any artwork), I become paralyzed by negative emotions and am overcome with feelings of dread and just the inability that I can't create what I envision. As you can see, I have a lot going on in my head! A lot of self doubt and imposter syndrome, at the moment. My goals in life are to create my own stories, be a freelance artist selling prints, and help make video games as a concept artist! I would love for my stories to be adapted into tv shows or video games (preferably video games!), but I could do a comic by myself in the meantime! It's my beloved passion project, and I think about it many times throughout the day. Besides working on my technical drawing skills, I also wish to develop a more positive mindset and confidence, as well as finding the passion for doing what I love again! Thank you for your support on my journey! And all of you also have my full support!

Thank you so much!

July 14th, 2022. Completed the first two assignments!

Drawing digitally isn't new to me, and I've been doing it for about 4 years now. But I was shocked that none of my professors from college ever taught us something like hand dexterity or pen control! I had difficulty with the circles lol.

For the second assignment, I think everything went pretty smoothly except for the last part. I had trouble adjusting the blue but being able to keep the orange at the same time.

Thank you! I'll try!

Just completed my Combining Images assignment! I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I forgot to include a river though!

And here (below) are the images used.

Okay, thank you! Totally forgot about being able to feather selections!
