Alec

I thought as I was applying to study children's book illustration it would be fun to draw a small child. This is my cousin's 2 year old, Alec, and he really doesn't stay still!!

Shaun

I had a go at drawing Shaun, the boy I look after. I had always thought of him as quite a still person, until I started drawing him!!

Just an orchid.

 

Birthday drawings

It was my birthday in March so I invited some friends over with the pretense of having a party, but really I just needed some people to draw!

Fizzgig

One of the things it was suggested I do before my interview was to do some more drawing from life, particularly some more animals. As it has been so ridiculously cold I put off going to the zoo for as long as possible, but my only subject I could draw at home is Fizzgig. He doesn't really do much, which is good as he stays nice and still, but not so good as I couldn't get many varied drawings of him!

Good news!!

Sorry for the long long break between blog posts. Back in February I decided I was going to apply to do a masters in children's book illustration, so I have been working every hour of the day and night to get my portfolio ready.
I had my interview last week, and despite being so nervous (to the point I thought I was going to faint before I went in) and having flu, they offered me a place the next day!! To say I am excited is a complete understatement. I can't wait until September to get started!!
