December has come and gone like a blink of an eye as I suspected it would. It's January and a lot has happened. I've finally had some time to get my portfolio back and upload the last leg of my work. I think there has been improvement from the beginning of my work in subtle ways that perhaps only a fine artist could see. The accuracy in anatomy, the tone in skin, the variety of my strokes are all the ways that I have seen improve and have grown to be more aware of. At this point, I need to focus on hands and faces as those are still my most weak areas. I also want to try to be more facile with my technique so that I can draw faster. However, I'm pretty happy with what I've gotten from my drawing class.
At the moment, I find it a bit hard to concentrate on drawing. Moving into the hostel has been a blessing and curse. I'm surrounded by excitement but also distractions. I have my own space but no privacy. Of course, I cannot deny the beautiful predicament I'm in as I walk out onto the beach that is literally my backyard everyday. My hope is to hold on to my situation here for about a year and then to move probably to Germany. It all depends on a number of factors: William, finding a school, getting a visa, etc. Overall, I would say my options are limitless and I must think carefully about what I really want out of life. As much as I want to contemplate what my life will be like, I realize that my only real option is to enjoy the moment I have right now and try to find curtains for my new abode.
