Over the course of the semester, I have become all too familiar with my downfalls, the greatest of which is only attempting what I feel totally comfortable with doing. Yes, it produces good work at times, but it also means I am not building up the tools in my belt. I'm becoming complacent and far too comfortable. I want to attempt more subjects that challenge me--hands, figures, landscapes, etc. I like designs and faces, and that's pretty much all I have done. I'm not actually terrible at procrastinating when it comes to art, and I get done what I need to do, but I need to try more to build my understanding of this craft in all aspects. Otherwise, my work will become repetitive and boring. What's the point of practicing a craft, if not to improve and expand? I do practice a lot, but it's like playing the same song on piano over and over--that one song perfects itself, but what about the entire rest of the music out there? What's the good of having one, perfect song that gets old over time rather than a range of music?
