figure painting is actually also helping me loads on painting anatomy and lighting correctly, it turns out i like oil painting a lot - i would definitely use this medium if it weren't such a damn pain in the ass to set up and clean up.

i'm alright with graphic design too, though it's a pity that it's a friday class and that means everyone's in the weekend mood. also we're mostly worn out after going through all the weekdays that brain cells are generally fried when it comes to friday. 

some classmate has made his distaste for graphic design very apparent to a lot of people, including teachers, but too bad for him, he has to go through it anyways. it made me lose any respect i might have had for him, i don't think that having such a narrow view is going to work out if you want to continue in this line. graphic design is "a waste of time" when you can be doing "real art"? really? i don't know, maybe you should try appreciating what graphic design can bring to the table even though it's not going to be your focus, especially since graphic design is a major part of society today. fine art or not, illustration or not, you should have a certain amount of respect and value for other forms of art and design, regardless of personal taste.
couple more weeks until school's out! hang in there me!
