I just wanted to start actually talking about my experiences and such, like a journal or something of the sort.
So, here it goes.
Today, I only had two classes, Life Drawing and Fundamentals. Life drawing was... life drawing, as fun as that can be. I do like using those sanguine pastel things though! And fundamentals, I'm finally learning about color, and hopefully soon (next week!) I'll be learning how to paint! With acrylics anyway. I'm not sure I really want to paint with oils, because they are rather expensive and I don't really like all the prep work and the finishing up work. I much rather like the ease of watercolors or hopefully acrylic paint. :o
Anyways I've also tried out a new way of painting digitally in Photoshop, and I gotta say; that brush is freaking awesome! Holy crap!
Here's a link to the video --> http://www.vimeo.com/10743423
And the artist is also on DeviantART --> http://charlie140588.deviantart.com/
She has inspired me to continue practicing digitally, and also to try new things! :) What also helps is that I'm actually learning about color in fundamentals, so I have more of a foundation for painting and such. I really would like to learn how to paint. :(
Hopefully I learn while I'm in art school! :D
Peace out! -Jackie

And the New Year began.
So, the beginning of a new year has gone and past.
2011.
It's already been an interesting start to the year, with certain happenings going on and what not.
I'm not going to dwell some of upon those, for those are for a different place and time, but I do want to... I guess ramble a little bit here. Feel free to ignore the next portion of text. :/
Life... has a lot of ifs. A lot of things can happen in one day, one hour, one minute, one second. A life can change; for the better, for the worse, or it can even... end. It makes me wonder about it, about my life and how I've been living it. I do love my family (they will always be there for me) and the friends that I've made so far, but at the end of the day, I still feel rather...
Alone.
It's a familiar feeling to me; I've always felt it. I usually try to escape it with my artistic endeavors, such as drawing, crocheting, and the like. I do love it, and those things will always be a part of me, but still. I can't help but ask... Will I always be like this? Alone forever? Part of me believes this, and while I joke that I'll be that weird old cat lady down the street one day, I sometimes feel like that is just the truth, as sad as that may be.
I know that I am still young, and that the world is my oyster, but young people can have thoughts too.
And with the thought of the new years, I would like to do the usual resolutions, such as loose those last 10 lbs, finish my projects I start, ect. However. There is something else I wish to do as well.
My New Year's resolution is to... Be the real me.
Sometimes I feel like the person I present myself as to new people I meet is just... not right. It's not really me. Some may consider me a sweet, innocent nice girl, and while those are nice words to be described as, I feel like that's not quite who I am in a nutshell. I guess maybe sometimes I'm like that, but I feel like with these descriptors comes the word naive. I am not naive, I'm just... inexperienced, in a sense. I do know things, I'm not a stupid person; I have feelings too. It's just, well, not many things happen in my life; at least not to me directly. Things always go on around me, everyone has their own problems, their own lives to tend to. And then there's me. In my own little world, all by myself, no dramas, no issues in sight. Except for the one I always feel in my heart, and that clouds the back of my mind: Loneliness.
Ahem, anyways, I guess I just wanted to er, get my feelings out? While this isn't all of what's going on with me, it's just enough to make me feel a little better, haha.
Well, I hope everyone has their own good New Years!
