RE: Honing Your Skills

I am super late in posting, so I am so sorry! I have just been reading through all of the great responses and trying to figure out just what exactly I do to enhance my abilities.

I found Jen and Katie's posts especially helpful, and I might repeat some of their points.

The first thing that came to mind when I read through these posts was to make friends and don't be afraid to shoot them questions! In undergrad, I interned with a photographer/designer who is now my brother-in-law, and I definitely use up my fair share of favors with him. I am always emailing him questions and he is always willing to help. Not to mention all the other great friends I have made in the program.
PS. if making friends is hard for you and you still have a lot of questions, the lab assistants are usually pretty friendly and knowledgable.

Secondly, I know that I should be doing a lot more drawing/painting/photographing/reading and all such activities, but life happens. However, I am putting a lot of effort into this program, which I feel has been a major improvement of my skills.

As for sites, I am a big fan of Pinterest and Google, but I am in the process of looking at some of these other great sources that people mentioned!

Okay, time for class :)
