YAY!

Just recieved an email from an Freelance Illustrator I've been following on Twitter for quite a while, I emailed him last night for some advice about the industry, and surprisingly, he's emailed me back! 

So I open the email and an essays worth of knowledge is staring me right in the face! Sooo excited to read this email, as he is one of the most well known Illustrators out there today! 

His day starts off just like mine really, social networking, emailing people, doodling ya know the usual, but then he talks about terms and conditions and protecting yourself when it comes to freelance work. Which is vital to know if you want to become a self employed Illustrator. 

Just like to again say thanks to MR. Biscuit who has took time out to actually acknowledge my struggle and desperation when it comes to getting noticed!

Approval of my Vehicle

Went to see my tutor on Wednesday....(I miss him already....so sad I know!) He has made me grow up and learn soooo much this year, I cant thank him enough for what he's done for me. Anyways he approved my Vehicle apart from the booklet that accompanies my gift, but the quality of paper is really awful, so I spent £9.99 on proper ink jet photo paper. I also need to burn my work on a disk....looking back on my work feels really weird, but I feel like I have achieved so much this year, creative and maturity wise. 

Going to meet a Freelance Illustrator next month, shes on holiday at the moment! Can't wait, you never know, there might be a bit of work in it for me? 

Can't wait for next year's festivities...2nd Year already....So hard to believe.

Carrying on...

Perfecting my skills on Illustrator :)

*Slight obsession with skulls* :/ lol

Further Illustrations

I was again inspired so I tested out my new pencils :)

I woke up...

Inspired this morning, and this is how my inspiration has portrayed itself today :)

From a song off the film "SpaceJam" 

"I want to Fly Like An Eagle, to the sea, Fly like an eagle let the spirit carry me I wana FLYYYY" 

Classic song! :D

Vehicle!

Handed in my Vehicle a few weeks ago, and I got my grades back last week!

Really surprised once again, I gained a B- which is awesome! I thought I was only gona get like a C but I got alot more than expected so....YAY!!

Buuuuut, I need to contact some freelance Illustrators, well I already have done, but not all of them are as friendly as Kathryn Speak who I have recently had contact with. I will figure something out! I always doooo! :)

Clockwork

Decided to do a piece about the film A Clockwork Orange as I was influenced by a t-shirt design I saw last week, so here is the drawn up version....

And here is the computerized one, still not finished of course.
