Had a follow up, sort of like an portfolio evaluation today with Marcus and talked about our strength and weaknesss.
And guess what? It came as a suprise though that my portfolio isn't as shit as I've always thought after what he'd said. And if you think I'm going to reveal tips of compiling a good portfolio here, Haha! No way!
Human should learn to be abit selfish sometimes. Lesson learnt from her's truly.
Anyway, according to what he said, my strength is in illustration work and sketching. Yeah, sketching... like what's new but I'm never really that confident in them truth to be told. Concept sketch is a new thing though. He said mine was quite good. Suprisingly, since I never like drawing it but he wants me to practice more on it so I would become a natural which is bad. I hate doing thoes conceptionalize 3D drawings. And my weakness is that I always tend to beautify my work by adding bits of extra lines here and there to perfect it. Totally unnesessary as it's distracting and will take the attention away from the product.
Haha! Blame it on me being an art student. LOL!
Next is illustration work. Oh well, it's something I enjoyed doing and did quite well in but I never believe myself to be good at it. Aparrently, he think otherwise.
I guess I really should learn to start having more self confidence in myself and especially in my work.
All in all, to summarize, he said that I have the skills and talent but lack the proper guidance that will bring me to the top. Mainly is that I lack the practice too. Quite spot on I would say. But the actual scope of the day is IF he decide to take me in, most probably, there'll be high chances which he promised that he'll try to throw me in to help out at the coming Singapore Fashion Festival. There! Because of this sentence, I just sold myself off for $200 giving up another offer of a $400 plus pay.
I'm quite pathetic isn't it? Gerald thinks that I agreed to this only because Marcus is more handsome. -.-
Was in a really low mood yesterday. Of all places, I had to have our interview in NAFA and while being there, we happened to chance upon Sophia and Hidayah. Both looking radiant emitting happy sparks. They studied fine arts there by the way which is a huge stab in my heart. Okay, nevermind, continuing on... Of so many campus in NAFA, I HAD to have our interview in the school of FASHION DESIGN! WTH! You can literally tear out my heart and stab it thousand times. Posters showing all their award winning works are everywhere and our interview is held in their gallery room which is preparation for their graduation show I think. Manequins of clothes are everywhere scattered out. Damm distracting during the interview can!
Could any day be even more depressing than this?
