So I still haven't managed to make much progress with my one a week brief project. I just seem to have lost a load of confidence with my visual work for some reason, maybe because I feel like I haven't found what my little niche is just yet. This is making it so difficult for me to choose briefs to work on, as I always have the pressure in the back of my mind that I need to specialise on an area that will be of benefit in the future/help me find work when I graduate etc.
I sort of feel as if I have a bit of a creative block; whenever I open my sketchbook to a blank page I get this overwhelming sense of negativity and doubt within my ability that makes me not want to draw at all. This is extremely frustrating because I have so many fun ideas for briefs that I could potentially really benefit from, but I just can't seem to get it onto paper, or take beyond my sketchbook like the virgin media brief that I failed to submit.
What will be my solution to this irrational anxiety ridden nonsense? I really desperately need to get started on something or else I will be playing catchup for the rest of the year, rushing my pace to get the six briefs done...which is making me more anxious. Oh the irony! I have a tutorial with Matt next week which should be really refreshing because he hasn't seen how my work has developed properly since first year, and he may be able to help me join some of the dots of where I was two years ago and where I am now. So from that point I hope that I will be able to get back on my feet somewhat and head in a productive and positive direction with my work.
