Finishing things

Finishing things means a lot to me. At least that was the mantra I claimed as a teacher. I was so neglectful of my own art and family. I could always blame it on teaching. Teaching is an all consuming profession for many of us. I spend nights and weekend researching content, lessons, and creating my own content. When I originally got hired for my job as an animation and game development instructor there wasn’t a text book there for pacing amd guidance. I am creating it all by the seat of my pants. It takes so much out of you. I just can’t see myself continuing at this pace. It should be a doozy the next 9 weeks when we get into game development and 3D modeling.

All this energy I have been vesting hasn’t brought me the joy I thought it would. I watched a video from Jake Parker, an illustrator based out of Utah. He started the Inktober initiative. Love his work and watched his video. Things may not be perfect but reaching a level of mastery can only be achieved by completion. You never know what you might miss out on by not finishing something. I hope it inspires you. https://youtu.be/lRtV-ugIT0k
