This week has been very productive, I have spent time creating multiple initial ideas and completing the 3D model of my Chess piece, Practicing painting in different tones to describe distance and also learned how to more effectively sketch with lines.
I also attended a short one on one with my tutor Tony to walk about his process when creating illustration, I learned many new techniques and it was greatly beneficial to my studies, the effective use of the lasso tool and gradients is especially useful when creating lighting, I also learned of a few new artists, i will be sure to look them up when I am referencing
I also found myself a nice pocket size sketchbook (A6) to sketch when I am n my downtime, (Bus, Videogame Loading screens, etc)
I have also found a new great you tube channel by the name of Scycra which has great insight on to how people practice their art and drawing skills

This link has helped me greatly and I am seeing improvement because of it.
I also learned how to effectively Harvard reference so I can finally finish my essay, (It is very close to being finished)
I have also created 2 more versions of my 3D chess piece.
S.W.O.T
Strengths
A very productive week has allowed me to focus on a great many things that help me with my artistic progress, and my university work, finding new resource is always helpful and learning a great deal about a practice schedule.
Weaknesses
Because of me focusing on my own drawing skills I have let my uni work fall behing, I wanted to have my essay done.
Opportunities
Scyras video about initiative drawing inspired me to get a sketchbook and start to improve, I also learned a lot more about Adobe Photoshop and processes to be used within it, ans also a large amount of 3D techniques for use in 3Ds Max
Threats
Everything costs money, of course by now this is a threat that will always be apparent, however a threat that involves learning new techniques is the time it takes to put them into practice
I am worried that my new found skills will take too long to work our for me, and I have deadlines coming up
For Next Week:
FINISH the essay, continue with my sketching and print my 3D model out and see how that goes
I am also going to check out an event found at this URL: http//tinyurl.com/zxajfpu
