Quick question: How much work is too much work, as far as school goes? I'm attending the Art Institute of Vancouver and am engaged in a pretty rigorous barrage of courses (First quarter, so just a basic five courses with an extra life drawing course tacked on) but have one somewhat insane instructor who provides... lots of homework. It's due sometime this week... should have been today, but today is a holiday, so it's due whenever the makeup class is, and I've spent 30+ hours on this one particular assignment, as well as doing the work for my other four classes. It's amounting to the last two weeks being around 50 hour work weeks...
Long story short, am I going to have to maintain this kind of an insane schedule in order to become competent at what I do? I hope not.
Anyways, here's something suited to the thread. I'd never painted before, and I had adarias screaming something about the direction of light shaping the volume of the lines... you know, the thing he's said a couple times now.
