"I wish I'd Done that " and pieces of advice

If I was to go back and change up on things I did it would have to come down to how I organized my timing, my time management and organizational skills were very weak and I’m always known for leaving "work until the last minute". There were the odd few times where I would sit back a few weeks before the deadline and get everything done but thinking back I predominantly messed up my timing with a few pieces of important work, for the times for when I’d got pieces done earlier with the given research and image development it seemed a lot healthier then panicking and rushing to get everything done in one day. I had a tendency to think that I’d have enough time to it 'do it the next day' which never happened which put me in a position to be always fallen behind, there was never a time I worked past the deadline but just never used the timing to where the brief was given to when that certain project finished. Another weakness is trying other things in my work, I wish I just gone back and tried different things with mark making and even with media, that slight change in your work can give you that better mark, I always stuck to that same consistent style which did started to get annoying, if you can change up your style now and again, it makes your work exciting and other people are going to want know what your getting up to rather then just people knowing what your doing all the time. Having a decent style is good but it needs to cover all types of drawing and you should combine it with other ideas you have. I also wish I had a broader imagination because I had a fixation with drawing out portraits and just faces which also started to get a bit boring but if you look through my posts to where I started you can see that my work starts to get a bit "samey" to where it awakens and I try new things. My DNAD project took a leap onto my work because my tutor said that the DNAD competition brief was ideal for me and she also had an inspirational artist to look up and work towards and he is now a favorite in my inspirational artists column at uni !! Heath Robinson who is an amazing illustrator is capable of almost anything when it comes to drawing but his sense if creating busy images caught my eye and I started to want to do work just like it but in my own style. The leaf I took out of his book made a turnover in my grades and also made my work look a lot stronger, 'Mcbess' another illustrator made a small turn in the way I work also because of his way of putting the dark areas in the right places. But Heathes illustrations had me gazing at his work most nights, he would put together a small group of people in his illustrations and make it look like their doing some 'crazy activities' because he'd have string lifting something up like a wardrobe or a bridge or just something you wouldn't think of and it almost looks like some sort of crazy experimentation. So looking at other illustrators can be inspiring and can tackle out the boring stuff and awaken a style in your work. I used to be one that wouldn’t use any reference for when I would illustrate but things can get a bit bland when not using anything, I was doing this for a while and I couldn’t see that repetitive streak everybody was telling me about. And then everything changed just because I had to act go and look at other people’s work and how they would always change it up and not have the same portraying image. Also I think that I would always go off in a tangent and always restrict myself to work and doodle all the time which would come to a point where I would be doing my work I’d just doing bits of my own personal work, its good have personal work but to an extent where you have enough time to get your own work done as well. Also not sticking with the same idea, I’m not going over what I’m saying its just when I do figure out something I don’t run with it just stays the same and it never continues. So if you follow up on my errors you'll see where your work goes to how it improves, everyone has there own mistakes so it takes getting them done for you to realize what you shouldn’t do so that you learn for next time.
