I have found it challenging in mimicking what the master can see with model poses, and wondered if I need to fundamentally change my method. To get a sense of the alternatives, I watched other instructors’ videos and found out that they all have different styles.

A fundamental question for learning a new skill, especially in a creative field, is how to balance between maintaining our own ways and incorporating others’ suggestions.

It felt very fun and liberating to hide inside a recycle bin and ride away with a garbage truck (at least in that dream).

I have been thinking about drawing an abstract self-portrait for avatar before realizing that others can probably see me more objectively than I can see myself, so I vector-drew over a paper portrait that Yilan did at the end of her Adobe internship.
