Confusion = Change
RegretfulI have come to a point in my life where I am confused, and not that teenage daily confusion but something dug a little deeper. Therefore I have decided to step back from the manga art for a bit.
I consider manga a form of art, don't get me wrong! I still apprieciate it very much so, however I want to go more traditional (not necessarily media). I think I want to learn from drawing realistic again, and I can't really relate manga with drawing from observation (eg still life).
I think part of this decision is because recently I have realized that I am loosing my touch for drawing realistically, and that scares me as I treasure that skill.
I guess this means I will withdraw from fanart for manga/anime, unless I suceed in converting the character away from their manga aspects. Though I know I have a few linearts lying around that I might want to cg and then post it, but here I'm talking more about starting new projects.
I think the only thing I will continue manga-wise is the Doujin, as that is a relaxing process for me.
I feel a bit sad in this decision also as it includes my manga (I have come to a point where a find it embarassing in talking about it as I have browsed the idea sooo much for sooo long and no progress has been made. (and none of you understand a word I am saying as I have never revealed anything about it) I think that is another reason for this change : to see if I really want to carry it out, and will I be able to? I do not want to create a few chapters and then forget about it. No - it needs to be completed in that case.)
The combination of all I've said above and the fact that I have realized I'm a little lost, has made this decision.
All my life I have been 105% certain about what I want to do in my future, and now when the time has come to live to those "expectations", I doubt them. And that is very scary for me, as I have always been so secure with countless plans, and now they all seem to be slipping away due to my own thoughts and feelings. (yes, it makes me feel a bit guilty)
Therefore consider this a warning for change in ElgntDrgn's account.

90% of teens today would die if Myspace had a system failure and was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.
Your arts good, so it doesn't really matter what you submit
Are you continuing art for A-levels? Do you do A-levels?
Cause meh art teacher decided to give ppl who were taking art the task of attempting to do a drawing a day.... :'(

"Chocolate is the answer"
Well I can see someone like me trying to attempt that but then become lazy and fail miserably(exactly why I need change!)...
I'm guessing your doing art for A-Levels next year?* Well I am. There is a clash between ICT and Art but I'm choosing Art since I love it more even though my Dad is convinced I could do better in ICT. (great support for art huh? lol)
*Do you think you will do it until A2?

Yeah I see what you mean about the "break" pov, but that is how I started of - to just enjoy art outside school, and now I feel like its overpowering all artistic creations I do, and that I don't want... we'll see how things turn out...
Go draw now!

Ict *shudders* I can work a computer fine without needing a A-level in it, i didn't even take ICT for GCSE, because I was being lazy and theres too much c/w, so i took tech instead which was probally just as worse. I get support for art, because my mum's sort of an artist, but it also means I get one hell of alot of critism...
I'll hopefully take it to A2, but it depends how well I'm coping with other subjects, I'm also taking Classics, History and English... gah.... lotsa C/W...
What other subjects are you taking?
--
"Chocolate is the answer"
I have never heard of those subjects before so I have no idea... :S
Do you mean you had to do ICT GCSE c/w?? Really?? I didn't. I only did 2 practical exams and 1 theory exam.
But for A-levels I'm thinking of doing Physics, Maths, Art and Business Studies. I've been thinking a bit about doing Computer Science in Uni but there it seems you only need Maths and Physics and not necessarily ICT...That i find is some kinda logic which I don't really get but w/e... What are you thinking about doing after school? Going to Uni??
Funny how my mom is also a bit of an artist too! Well, shes done a lot of art in her days though recently she sticks to her job - being a webdesigner. She definetly encourages me with art though.

Tech = technology, x] I did that instead of ICT, cause the ICT the school does has one hell of alot of coursework...but only 1 exam.
Classics = Classical Cilvilisations, its a bit like history, except its more looking at stories and Ancient times x] Greek Myths and such.
I have no idea what I'm gonna do at Uni... gahh... I'm thinking advertising or Law...but I'm not too sure and I think I'm gonna use 6th form to find out, if none of that works out I'll just probally go into teaching >.<
Computer science... sounds hard o__0 one of my sisters is taking Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Geography, personally I think shes insane but I can hardly talk.
Does your school have a 6th form?
--
"Chocolate is the answer"
Can you study advertising in uni? I didnt know that.... sounds interesting indeed... Though Law - seems tough with all the competition!
I can't believe you are basically gonna do double history! (well Classics sounds like it anyways...)
Good luck that's all I'm saying...
