So exhausted from work omg. Some how I convinced myself to leave my house at 6am in the morning so that I can get to work at 7am. I've been running on 4-6 hours of sleep 5 days a week for a month and look like this now ( =____= ) all the time. Only 2 more months to go... Hahaha...ha... Crying. Learning a ton at work as usual and honestly, I'm super pleased with how this project looks. I'll definitely throw you guys a link when it comes out! Other then that... Personal work has been really really sparse. I recently art jammed with two of my friends yesterday and it was really fun. Its nice to just vomit out drawings sometimes and not have to worry about it being production quality or feeling like it has to be perfect. Its nice...
On the flipside, general lack of sleep, work stress and ever mounting social anxiety all mixed up together has really been keeping me down. Some unresolved issues have raised its uggo head to me again and its reminiscent of my horrible 2nd year of college. I haven't felt this way in the long time... I got a rock climbing membership which includes free yoga, to hopefully get my mind off bad thoughts... (Gonna try going at least 2-3 times a week) And I'm trying to be actively doing stuff after work so I'm not left to my own thoughts lying on my bed. :C Hopefully these nasty feelings will past. I'm also looking into seeing a therapist every once in a while. Not looking for medication or anything... I think I just want to work out some of my anxiety that seems to be getting worse and at times overwhelming me. Maybe some coping techniques would be good? I dunno, do you guys see therapists? My friend is always telling me that artists should go see therapist because they are some fucked up people. Hahaha.
Anyways. I tried to get my hair to be white today and it just ended up being silver. Haha. I guess it could be worse...

Turning point
Hello friends. u___u
I hope everyone is fab and doing well. I just finished my last day of work on Friday and I am feeling GREAT. I worked on a great project with some great people and my overall experience was amazing. I can't wait to show you guys! I have learned so much and am so grateful to be able to go back to school and utilize these skills on my final film as a student. I'm not much of an animator, but I've really learned to become comfortable with animation and I'm so excited for my last year at CalArts and am looking forward to cracking down on my film. I have good feelings for this year!
My last journal was a pretty sad one and t
My life
So its always around this time of the year that art ceases to be made because I'm all burnt out from making my film. Truth be told, dA isn't really my place to post much art anymore. I suggest going to my tumblr instead > kristenwoo.tumblr.com.
That aside, there probably won't be that much art from me in general. Not from lack of trying! I'm actually going to be insanely busy this summer! I'm working part-time, soon to be full-time, as a character designer at the studio I interned at! Wooow. Its been an amazing experience so far and I'm so grateful how beautifully everything is working out. It doesn't even feel like a job because I'm lear
Hi ho!
I'm reaching the end of my film journey! Woow!! Just have to touch up a little here and there and I'm so excited to be done. I've had some super blah few days, but I'm working towards happier days. I've been bleaching my hair and it looks so awful. Hahaha. I'm working my way to light ash blonde without completely destroying my hair... Unfortunately.. I've got black hair, so its a process. ~__~ I think it will be the proper blonde in 2 more bleaches and I can't wait to not look like a carrot top. Hoho.
Also, I received some blissfully reassuring and good news today! My heart was beating so hard, I was so relieved. I won't know if everything i
I did alright!
Portfolio day passed and the feeling of strangeness still lingers. First off, I just want to say that portfolio day is a really strange thing at my school. Normally docile and quiet, CalArts competition raises its ugly head and a mixture of triumph and disappointment fills the air. Its pretty brutal and it really doesn't breed good things. Well for me anyways, its hard to be happy about your own success when some of your peers did not get the recognition they deserve.
That aside, I did pretty alright for portfolio day. I was pretty worried that my portfolio was kind of weird because I didn't really have a focus in character design or environ

Kinda late reply, but I've been dealing with depression and anxiety myself; I'm on medication, and omg it's insane how much better I feel! I've been able to finally get out of bed and it's amazing how much I'm getting done now! I really didn't want to get on medication, but at that point it was either that or... well.
I haven't had any therapy (too expensive omg), but I'm feeling great so far ^__^ I know medication doesn't work for everyone, but it's definitely helping me far beyond my wildest expectations I really hope you feel better soon
(and silver hair is awesome omg, so jealous; I'd love to dye my hair silver but I'm afraid it'd all just fall off XD - plus then the maintenance.. oh why couldn't I just have been born with it T_T)
