Hey Hey
What's up everybody, it's me again. How is everybody doing. Finally finished doing some big projects for some of my other classes. Still kind of struggling in making a picture mean two different things but I think i got it right finally. Went out and bought myself a treat by getting two new games for my XBOX 360. I bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and NFL Madden 2010. I've been playing games not as much as I use to, but i'm playing now trying to get ideals for a video game i've been wanting to make for a long time and also see what some of the latest video games have to offer. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a Role Playing slash Adventure game with everybody's favorite Super Heroes from Marvel like; Spider Man, the X-Men, and Iron Man. It also has some heroes that people might not know. NFL Madden 2010 is a American Football sim I got because I love football and I love to rebuild teams to see what I can do. Hopefully, taking all of these classes will help with computers so I can have a better understanding of programming and design. I'll probably have to take some kind of art class so I can draw a little better. Well, I guess I will see you guys in class later on today, Goodbye.

The challenge for aspiring game creators is to know where to focus their educational efforts -- Should I learn to program? Should I learn to draw? Should I learn to write narratives?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking purely as someone who used to teach drawing, it is very difficult to learn to draw in a "casual" way. You CAN teach yourself to draw IF you get technical help from books, and any other sources you can find, and IF you work pretty hard -- at least an hour a day. In art schools, drawing is a twice-a-week, 3-hr. per session experience -- or more. And, of course, you really need to work directly from live models at some point if you want to draw more than chairs and trees and battle axes.
Drawing, like music, is both a perceptual and a conceptual skill -- and a physical skill.
It's like learning to play the piano or the guitar: You can't really learn by only playing once in a while, a few minutes a day.
