Not long left now

I'm almost finished my third year of studying illustration at uni. My goodness, I have learned a lot. It is really great to look back at my old work and see such an improvement in pretty much all areas I am interested in.

Just handed up my animal combination illustrations for assessment- and what a relief it is to have it done, despite how much I always enjoy doing the work.
My favourite piece turned out to be the Lupaquilleque. I think he looks very pretty and I loved using a combination of water soluable oil pastels and digital editing.

There are still a few adjustments that I need to make when i have a little more time. I got some really good feedback from my lecturers. They explained to me to look at it while squinting my eyes, and you can really see that most of the colour is of a similar intensity so I need to drop some things back a little.
Tell me what you think^-^

Oooh a great reference

Looking on the internet, I found this really awesome website called "Escape from Illustration island". It's kind of ironic because  the VERY next day, my lecturer at uni announced the website as a valuable resource for illustrators. I'd like to share it with those that are interested.

http://escapefromillustrationisland.com/

It has a bunch of awesome free stuff which is really helpful, and lots of art books you can download for free too.

In other news, I ordered my business cards for uni ^_^

This has gone through dozens of changes since I first had to come up with the idea, and I'm now relatively happy with the layout, text, and my logo. Only problem is i would have preferred to send a different web address with my business card now... too late for that! I just gotta live with it. Perhaps I will send people a post card or something with my new details on it later on down the track.

What did I do wrong? Plus other news in my illustrations...

I hope I get some more people to watch me sometime heheh, apparently somehow I managed to watch myself, but I have NO IDEA how I managed it in the first place lol... anyways...

I am studying illustration at Uni at the moment, in my final part of the last year and have been doing character concepts. I love to work in mixed media and I recently did a work on my concept "cheetabee"  and I must say that I am rather proud of the result. I used oil pastel and digital rendering.

What do you think? I came up with the cheetah and the bee because they are both the same colours ^-^

So, I finally have a blog... Awesome!

I probably should be doing my uni work right about now, but I wanted to get a Blog as I guess a more 'personalised' page for myself as an illustrator. In this blog I'll be posting about my work I am doing, works in progress, and about a lot of other random (and interesting) things that go on in my day to day life.
That's about all for now ^-^
