This class sort of took me by surprise considering that the class I thought I was taking would be focusing more on analogue techniques. I genuinely didn't know that we would be focused on studying gestural figures in the digital space. I really felt I was pretty good at gestural figures since a majority of my work was inspired by life and humanity. Back in community college, I would always sketch the passengers on the light rail until I almost missed my stop. I had a really good grip on the ability to draw human form and the daily commute of humans on the train. The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely hindered my ability to draw human life, and it essentially eradicated my desire to put a pencil to paper.

In terms of quality of work, I'm not sure how well I progressed. I feel as though I have stagnated in this class and I need to find different approaches to improving past the level I'm currently at. I don't necessarily feel like this class helped my confidence in any way which further hindered my ability to produce any meaningful work for myself and the class. I do however feel like I have a better understanding about my fluidity. It is very difficult to feel fluid in my work when using digital tools, but these past few weeks I have seen significant improvement.

To be completely honest, I absolutely despise making digital art. There is something about the digital medium that makes me very frustrated, and I feel like it made this class much harder than I originally thought it would. I feel the repetitiveness of the course helped me become a little more comfortable with Procreate, but I will probably never touch it after this class is done unless I'm required to from others or by any future employers.
