Worked on getting some proper anatomy practice in with some sculpting. It isn't particularly good, but it's certainly a start.

Something to note as well is that I won't show the animation that I've done this week.

I'm more or less starting from square one again, but with a bit more guidance. It's another bouncing ball animation, but made by following along with a tutorial. The only problem is that while I really enjoy animating, I find it hard to get properly motivated to actually learn it. Sculpting I can get into, but animating is really difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if it's from my prior experiences with trying to learn to animate. I might in one or two weeks do a big show of animations that I've done, but for the time being I won't

Something that I will show however, is the sculpting that I did!

Like I said, it certainly isn't the best, but it's a lot better than any other attempts I've made to improve my sculpting. This was based off of the notes that I wrote down while watching the anatomy videos, but I think you can tell where I couldn't really get it right. I would partly attribute that to my notes. They are a bit disorganised so it can be a bit tricky to recall what I was talking about when I wrote them down. I might try to follow along with the tutorial, or maybe try and go back and timestamp the notes so I can get a visual reference as well as a written note.

I've also got a little bit of full body practice going, but that's more secondary at the moment. I want to try and make some stylised busts of characters that I've got floating around in my head, so I wan to try and focus more on the face for the time being.

This is sadly another short post, and I reckon the coming week's post might be a bit lackluster as well. It's certainly feeling like a lazy coming week in terms of 3D things. It's certainly not a lazy week for some real life I have to get done. There are some things that I have to take care of that don't relate to any of this.

I'm not particularly sure if I'm being too hard on myself with everything. One the one hand, I really do wan to get better at what I want to do and prepare myself for my post-graduate. But on the other hand it doesn't feel healthy, if you know what I mean. Not really the work amount being unhealthy (considering I try to do 10 hours a week at least), but moreso the headspace that I have with this. I don't think a "I've got to do as much as I possibly can before my course" mindset is really good for me. But again, on the other hand, I don't want to disappoint anybody that I would be taught by in the course. The course could very well be a beginner friendly post-graduate, but it could also be one that tries to build on things that I might not fully have a grasp on yet. I suppose the only thing that I can hope for is that whatever I'm able to do will be enough for not only my course, but for myself.

Regardless, fingers crossed I can get some stuff done the coming week!

Thank you and good-bye for now!
