Sadly, this is the truth more or less. You HAVE to know people and be a bit social if you really wanna get into any kind of entertainment/cultural industry.
People won’t trust a person who can only communicate through e-mail or a chat - they wanna meet you and talk with you face-to-face.
And being able to communicate with your client is extremely important in more or less any kind of business.
I’ve heard stories of people who got rid of their social anxiety because they didn’t wanna let that ruin their dream of becoming a concept artist or a illustrator and so on.
Social Anxiety makes your whole life very hard to begin with, if you really wanna make it into the art industry - first seek professional help for your SA. That is the first and most important step.
Don’t let your problems control your life. Let your dreams and goals do it.

Hey Tumblr sphere!

My name is Rose Wong and for my spring semester of art school, I am to make a music video for my Visual Communications class. And I require your help.

Have you ever felt an intense art slump where you just can’t create work? Well, that’s the basis of my video. I’m not going to elaborate on it just yet but the reason I am telling you this is that I want to include anyone that wants to be a part of this!

And how are you to be a part of this you ask? Well I want you to send in your own artwork! Just 3 inch by 3 inch doodles, drawings, digital works, design, paintings, words, whatever you want Any medium and any subject, but please don’t send me mature and graphic drawings… please don’t… = v=

Tell me a story, draw me your dreams. What are you obsessed with right now? What inspires you? I would love to see cute things to realistic drawings~~

•••

In the end of the video, all the drawings will be assembled into a huge collaboration, so more the merrier!

I need at least 500 by by the end of February. So the deadline for this is February 29!

~ And with this, for every 100 pieces I get, I will pick out a drawing and send that person any print they want :) So please also put your Tumblr name on the back or else I won’t count it.  And also, one lucky winner will get a drawing done by me! ~

The amount of prizes are subject to change to more and not less. Let’s see how many drawings I get in alright? And you can send as many drawings as you want but only 5 will be used for the raffle.

So how will you get it to me? Well, I love mail! So here’s my school address:

200 Willoughby Ave

Unit 58616

Brooklyn, NY 11205

And you can address it to me, Rose Wong.

Reblogging would be lovely, so help spread the word!

Here is also the blog you can follow where I will post art pieces I receive and any progress shots of the development of my video! At the end of this, I will post the video to Youtube for all to see! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at that blog!

So thanks for reading~!

EDIT// If you go to Pratt, you can just give it to me or drop it off haha

this sounds really awesome, good luck :)

Live action references were used extensively by Disney to keep animation costs down. Cinderella was the first instance of this practice. According to Laryn Dowel, one of the directing animators of the film, roughly 90% of the film was done in live action model before animation, using basic sets as references for actors and animators alike.

 And some say using a reference is cheeting. Pft!

Love this! <3
