THE palette knives are so stiff and make such a weird uncomfy noise

ME TOO

I’ve finally caved and started using make-up from Sephora (up until this last year, I only bought at drug stores because of price$, but it ran out way faster). Specifically, Urban Decay (Naked Skin). It’s a little pricey, but man oh man, is it worth it. It’s really light and smooth and does the job I need it to. I was always really anxious about asking for help to find what’s right for my skin, but once I finally did I found the perfect stuff for me! Highly suggest asking someone at a Sephora or make-up place.

i don’t think most art schools put a lot of focus on digital art the first year, and even so i think traditional art skills often transfer pretty easily to digital, it just takes some getting used to. so don’t worry about not being proficient with a tablet, because especially at RISD putting digital art in your application portfolio is actually pretty frowned upon (i used mostly ink, watercolor, and pastels). every art school wants life drawing in your portfolio, and some observational sketchbook work. they basically want to see that you’re passionate and you’re dedicated to improving/experimenting.

i thought the transition from high school to college would be a lot harder but in general the independence was refreshing and exciting, i think keeping in mind your long-term goals is helpful though. it’s easy to get caught up in small things in college but keeping your mind in line with your goals is important even when starting out. i assume you’re applying to schools soon, tho i don’t know where you live and whatnot –– figure out whether you want an immersive art experience or if art is a side thing, bc that makes or breaks the difference between an art school and a liberal arts/general school. i applied to a few general schools, but i’m really glad i chose risd because i would have regretted wasting my time not improving my art.
