100 Days Project

I've just signed up to the 100 Days Project. This is where you choose one creative exercise, and then repeat it every day for 100 days. The aim is to see how your skill evolves over the 100 days.

My project is called 'Dynamic Doodles' and I will be drawing a page of small illustrations, or doodles, every day for 100 days. They will then be turned into vector clip art. Each day will have its own theme, such as 'wildflowers', 'houses', 'woodland creatures', etc in order to expand my range and skill as an illustrator. Some days might be just the doodles in pencil, other days might be finished vector artwork ... but every day will be inspired! 

The challenge starts on 11 July 2014. If you want to view my progress, check out my page here: http://100daysproject.co.nz/project/2014/1379. I can't wait to get started! And I hope I can keep up.

Sneak Peek!

For the past few weeks I have been learning coding! Not the secret sleuthing sort of coding (although that would be fun!) but HTML and CSS coding to be exact. It is something I have always wanted to know how to do and with some prompting from my study I have almost finished creating my very first portfolio website.

So here is a little sneak peek of one of my favourite pages ...

Stay tuned because this is not far away from being launched!

Study study and more study!

I have been flat out with assignments lately - exciting design assignments but extremely time consuming! I am now working on three original illustrations for a book cover assignment. Here is a little sneak peek of one of my works in progress ... 

Illustration Friday: Contraption

Adventuring

I've decided to do the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day creative prompt this month - and hopefully I'll finally finish this one! I've started it quite a few times over the last two years but never made it to the end. 

Today's prompt is 'adventure', perfect for a little adventurer to come to life.

Miss L is home sick from school today and decided to create one too! This is her Flower Fairy Princess taking a stroll through her magical kingdom. 

I just love getting creative with my little people! Here they are getting their craft on.

If you're interested in doing the FMS photo a day, here is a link to her website: http://fatmumslim.com.au. It's a lot of fun and you can see what everyone else is doing over on Instagram, just search #fmsphotoaday. Happy snapping! (With a camera that is!!)
