what do i aspire to do

what i aspire to do in the short term:
over Christmas i plan to get all of my college work done in both concept and theory so i can spend allot more time on my 3d and concept drawing work, the reason i want to spend more time in these two subject is because i want to become a 3d modeler once i leave college so im going to increase my knowledge in this field as much as possible.
the reason i want to add to and redo some of my art pieces is because when i started them i was not feeling a hundred percent so i feel that they are not a good as they could be.
to increase my skills in 3ds max i will watch as many tutorials as i can relating to the topic of advanced modelling and lighting, i can all ready use max at a basic level because i studied maya (maxs counterpart for the last 3 years)

what i aspire to do in the next 12 months:
in the next 12 months i plan to up load some of my 3d models online with the help of a fellow class mate. i hope with the right advertising i may even be able to sell some of my models to online buyers for their own environments or online areas.
i will achieve this by starting small after i learn to export and import objects and their textures into online 3d space, the first models i will make will be decorative only such as picture frames  vases, plates and so on but as i gain more experience i plan to expand into different objects even into models with animations attached.
over this time i would also like to improve my drawing skill once again but only in the form of concept art and not fine art, the reason for this is i want to become a 3d modeler and even though being able to draw isnt really part of this field putting ideas down on paper is much easier than going straight into the 3d program and starting from scratch.
the last thing i want to improve over the next 12 months is my blog because at the moment  i feel that it  isnt filled out enough due to me feeling unwell during the last 2 months, the way i will improve this is over the holidays and during this time i will try to add something to my blog each day to add my thoughts.

what i aspire to do in the next 3 years:
the main goal i have over the next three years is to first get my 3d work out there on the internet and even sell a few models to get a known, my second goal is to find a job in the industry that i can see my self playing a huge role in then work towards it. my main goal at university though is to get a 1st in modeling and at least a 2,1 in all other subjects, i will achieve this by first sorting out what i need to get done for the work i have been set and then adding my own thoughts after , this shouldn't be to hard but i do have the habit of sometimes leaving work the the last minute but once i guest focused on a piece of work i tend to complete most of it all in once go.
something i was working on before i came to the college of art was my tutorial channel but at the time i was running it off my old laptop and cheap software so i am hoping if i have the time to update it and redo parts so that others who haven't used 3d before can learn in simple steps how to use 3d software such as maya or max.

leading questions


Leading question:
A leading question is a biased question that guilds the person answering to answer a certain way,  these kind of questions are not recommended because they get misleading or untrue answers.

Leading questions:

(This question implies that you did not enjoy your previous job this manipulates the answer the person being asked gives).

(this question is misleading as it gives the desired answer at the start of the question forcing the person to answer in a particular way).
  1. 3.       How do feel about the well-designed structure of our company

(this answer is making a statement before asking the question making the question one sided as they have answered for you).
