Challenges while learning

After learning the basics of responsive web design back in 2014, I did some web designs to practice what I learnt. I realized that I wanted to learn also graphic design to do my own designs from scratch, so I did some online courses:

  • Creative course

  • Graphic design basics

  • Learning GIMP & Inkscape

This year I discovered UX and I wanted to learn it too, but I decided that I should first improve in what I do for a living, that is, front-end development.

A couple of weeks ago I organized the learning project and last week I started my first course. But meanwhile I discovered another interest that I want to learn: illustration. In my imagination I put together all the future knowledge of web design, illustration, graphic design and UX, but I know that if you don’t start small and learn little by little, it is very difficult to learn something at the end.

Is my behaviour something related to multipotentialite? Do I want to learn very different things and I can’t focus in only one? Or is it maybe procrastination because I am afraid I won’t improve my skills after the learning project?

By the way, this is the first kind of “comic-illustration” to explain what had happened these two weeks. I think Illustrators don’t have to be afraid of a new rival ;) And don’t worry Sass, tomorrow we see each other again :)
