Q&A // May 2025
Added 2025-05-18 21:08:07 +0000 UTCHere's tonight's Q&A session for those who missed it! This one featured a record number of tangents 😅 It was definitely a trip down memory lane, with a lot of old memories of high school and studying animation.
Some of the topics covered in this session are:
How to know if you're on the right track with artistic growth
How I find inspiration / organize my reference
Getting paid: commissions, negotiating with clients, and attending events
Whether art school is "worth it" and why I ghosted my school
Negative experiences with rude clients & people on social media
Why I was my partner's "worst client ever"
How a guy called "Banana" changed my life
And TONS of TV/movie recommendations from me and the chat!
I hope you enjoyed it! If you have any questions for next month's session, feel free to them in the #ask-loish channel in the discord server or in a comment or DM here on Patreon! I will do my best to answer them in next month’s session ❤

2025-05-27 14:09:04 +0000 UTCYou (I) wanted to turn in my (your) best work on assignments. Spent a few ‘all-nighters’ trying not to turn in work that I thought could be better. 🤯

2025-05-27 14:03:43 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you had such a positive experience for the short time you were there! it's really unfortunate that the costs of such an education are so prohibitive. too many people are denied access.

2025-05-27 13:56:31 +0000 UTCYes, ACCD in Pasadena was (is still?) VERY! expensive. I was hoping to get a scholarship based on submitting my first and second term work. (Needed the money to continue to study there). The problem was not having enough ‘advanced’ work during the first two terms I was attending to have a high level of work to submit. . I was also working part-time, and during our orientation (after being accepted based in my junior college portfolio) it was suggested that we NOT work because of the amount of the work load that would be required in each of our classes. I do feel I acquired a lot of very helpful information during my (short time) at ACCD…..I knew I didn’t have enough high-level work when I submitted my work (with the hope of securing scholarship funds). My brief time at ACCD was one of the happiest times of my life. I was amazed at the talent/skills some of the beginning student’s possessed ! This was natural artistic talent.

2025-05-23 11:30:05 +0000 UTCThe hand does, the mind learns. It's my own mantra to find my own voice. It's also translated as "thy then think". It's an invitation to not overthink, to play what we instinctively like, and then get a sense of it.
