lighter, tighter, ready to fight

The closer I get to my actual interview for OCAD (one week away!!!), the lighter I feel.
I still have some nagging doubts, and of course my own resident lack of self confidence in my own abilities (I am learning that this is something pretty much every artist ever experiences).
But I’m starting to feel better.
Of course, by the day of the interview, my stomach will probably be twisting itself into some fun pretzel shapes… but for now things are going good.
I actually got a major piece done for my portfolio, which I am very, very happy with. The concept has been bouncing about in my head and my sketchbook for weeks now, so I am pleased that it finally found it’s way out onto illustration board.
It was kind of a major block.
Worrying and fussing over this one drawing.
The time and worry was worth it though, because I think it’s turned out beautifully. I think it really expresses what I want it to express, and is indicative of my newish personal style I’ve been developing - but is also a bit of an evolution from where I’ve been (and if I say all this, just like this, in my interview that’d be cool too - exposition is good).
I actually feel a bit of that happy feeling people talk about with the birth of a new creation.
I will probably post pictures later.
