May round up

I have been crazy busy trying to finish up my diploma of graphic design so I'm trying a new blog format to give a quick run down of where I'm at! So here I go ...

Finished: 'Indian Girl' 

(and she might make an appearance on another new project I'm working on!)

Working on: Illustrating assignment based on the work of the amazing Mercedes deBallard

Listening (and grooving!) to: The Aston Shuffle 

Illo crushing on: Mekel - a local WA girl doing some amazing fashion illustrating!

Next time I'll add 'drinking' as it will either be a delicious coffee or an invigorating green (or pink) smoothie!

Until then, it's back to the 2Bs for me .... :)

Bits and bobs

I found some sketches and bits and pieces from my old pin-up board today (two years on and I still have unpacked boxes!). That sketch in the middle is of my now 5-year old, from when she was about 18 months old. It's funny how seeing these pieces of past inspiration reinforces the creative journey I have been on for the past five years.

I am in the middle of making a massive new pin up board so I think these will definitely be up on display once again :)

(PS that photo of the little girl on the beach is me!)

Sketch to vector

Here is the sketch from my last post, now as a vector image (and styled as my Facebook cover image!). I'm not sure if this will be 'the one' for my website as I have another idea I'd like to explore, but I'm pretty happy with the way it's turned out! My first sketch to vector artwork :)

A work in progress

Just a little something I've just started working on - an original illo selfie!! This is in conjunction with learning HTML and CSS coding ... of course!

I am designing my own portfolio website and I'd love to add a little bit of illustration to my home page.
