Summer Study

In my 502 presentations, I mentioned that I will study concept design in Magicleader Conceptdesign for 3months. The works I submitted were pretty weak and rubbish but I am very pleased that they were good enough to make me got in the basic class. I have learn a lot from this course, we work and study for 8 hours every Monday to Saturday. It was very stressful for me, especially when people around me were very strong and skilled, I couldn't help to compare their works and my poor week drawings. I think it also helped me in a lot of ways. In the future, I will probably work in an environment like this, when I felt I am the bottom one and can get kick out of the job any time. But then I realised I only need to compare to myself, seeing me doing better each day makes me happy. The other people are all nice and friendly we all just some artists looking for a way to improve and do better. I am grateful that I can have this opportunity to talk to the professionals, to the people who work in the creative industry, to people who will be in this industry.

My Notes

The course was very beneficial for me, but to fully understand and master all the things they taught in these 3 months is unrealistic. The teachers are very nice and taught us a lot of things, too much to remember and use them all in our practice. Personally, I have learned is an awareness, like aware of what artist think when they draw stuff, what kind of thoughts they put in and why they use this and do that in their work. It is impossible for me to draw like them, but a least I can understand a bit more. I think I will need a few years to absorb, but now I can say it's a good start..
