Busy Busy Busy

AH...... It's been a few weeks since I posted the last post about BioShock. I beat it finally, when I got free time between work and life. Now that thats over (Note: I loved BioShock, but the ending was very disappointing) I actually might have some free time to work on the game again. I went to a lecture last night from Tom Wujec, he was discussing imagination and innovation. Very interesting stuff and very inspiring.

This leaves me with the promise I gave the last time about the GUI Manager tutorial. I will get it up here, I have just been un-motivated lately after getting off of work. I plan on having it up here sometime either this week or next so check back soon.

I have been drawing a lot more though. I recently bought a book by DragonArt on drawing fantasy creatures. This has been very helpful in teaching me some of the basic flaws in my drawing style. I have noticed an immediate improvement in my drawing ability, which in turn has caused me to be more inspired to draw more. When it comes out looking good you tend to get less frustrated. Another thing Tom Wujec mentioned was a quote about how Steve Jobs hires based not on programming/technical skills but based on the ability to communicate and the ability to draw/be creative. I would have to agree with this view, anyone can learn to program, it takes much more skill and motivation to learn how to create.

As far as my drawing... when I get my scanner that I just bought from New Egg, I will scan some of the decent stuff I have drawn lately and post it here. Feel free to tell me that it sucks, I don't mind. I am learning and criticism and feed back are all part of the flow of creativity and growth.
