Getting my ass handed to me trying to paint over my old knight lineart
Some background stuff from study day on Tuesday

I reckon if I use the same method for the trees, but with much smaller strokes I could make it seem legit.
Didn't do a photo study yesterday because I'm lazy and school work and exams next week (excuses OTL), realizing the schedule doesn't give enough time for personal work, I'm considering staggering it 1 day personal 1 day study, or 1 week personal 1 week study.

Vague life goals so far are:
-Get into medicine or optometry at UNI while still developing my abilities
-Get to a professional level of digital art while getting my degree at uni (4-7 years of growth or something)
-??? ugh
-Be the very best like no one ever was (seriously)
Too young, naive and unskilled atm to even consider this properly, yet I reckon have a very good shot at optometry, and once I get in I can easily rack up experience working at my parent's glasses store. Once I land a job working part time I can freelance on the side.
I feel like the amount of time I spend drawing everyday is gimping my chances though so I'll have to dial it back for sure. My UMAT practice results are alright (got 90% raw today
), and my really high ranking selective highschool + consistent all-subject performance should be enough but if I keep drawing for the amount of time I do now, my marks will drop.
gah, the worse bit is realizing life only gets harder from here on out. I want to type something boastful like "ill be ready
" but in all honesty I can only hope to try my best and not waste copious amounts of time typing long ass posts on the internet and generally fluffing about.
At least I'm starting early.
Spoiler
Definitely need more still lives to get used to handling painting, and more experience in general. ![[Image: NYsaBlV.png]](http://i.imgur.com/NYsaBlV.png)
