Current Obsession: Sketching
Sorry I have been MIA. Besides the internet connection issues, I've been drawing a lot lately. It probably has to do with the fact that I recently went to the D23 convention and was deepy inspired by a talk on character development for one of Pixar's new movies, Monster's University. Even though the work they put into making a Pixar movie seems long and tedious, the people there seem to LOVE what they do. It kind of made me question why I stopped drawing. According to a book my roommate read, it takes 10,000 hours to develop your abilities and become good at something. And from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, I learned that Van Gogh started to paint around age 25-28. Although he was not highly praised at the time for his work (I believe he only sold one painting while he lived - Red Vineyard), he is definitely well- known and recognized today. Well all this talk is not about how I will drop my career as an engineer and somehow work at Pixar one day...
