Portrait Practise

I draw this a couple of weeks ago - it's a portrait of a model I saw on my Tumblr dashboard that caught my eye. Her hair is originally a bit darker and her eyes were brown, however I wanted to play with a little more colour. I haven't really drawn anything as well as this before so I'm pretty happy with it!

It isn't part of any projects of mine, it was just a way of keeping me occupied this holiday and building up my personal portfolio.

Disney Sketches

This week I've been having fun drawing Disney characters (well, Peter Pan and Alice) as part of my art project. I'm aware that Alice in Wonderland is over abused so I probably wont use my entire collection of drawings of her in my project but some may be useful. It's been a good way to try out my new set of Faber-Castell pencils I was given especially!

Summer Update

Seeing as I apologise frequently about my lack of consistent updates, I feel no need to start this post with yet another one. (though I do feel slightly guilty for not posting!)

I've finally finished my first year of my foundation degree! It's been an awesome year studying my favourite subject and I'm actually rather excited to start my second. I've achieved satisfying results, though I know I could have worked harder and received higher grades. I guess that's motivation to work even harder when I return in September, especially since it will be the year that counts.

Since my last post I've been to Kurt Schwitters exhibition at the Tate Britain and Ellen Gallagher's at the Tate Modern - I'll have posts on those to follow.

I've also started my fine art project for my second and final year of my foundation degree (a little early, I know) as I wish to keep myself occupied this summer. I only have a few cartoon sketches at the moment but I shall post those also.

And if that's not enough, I have pictures to post of Jonny Craig at The Underworld from just over a month ago.
