Everything since April...

...Because oops I may have forgotten about this blog again.

2015 has had its ups and its downs. Since April I have gained much experience at my job, needless to say, I am enjoying it immensely and it is really pushing me into looking to gain more qualifications so that I might continue working with children and young people; be this either through continuing as a playworker like I am now or going and completing a post grad in secondary teaching and becoming an art teacher.

Anyway, this is a new year and with this new year I can take steps to getting to where I want and who I want to be, right? Right. So kickboxing classes, look into fundraising opportunities for both children's charities and cancer research and support charities (as both are very close to my heart) and of course, taking the all-important step to furthering my career with children.

That isn't to say that I won't still be drawing. It is, after all, something I still enjoy doing and wish to continue to improve with.

Anyways here is everything (almost) that I have drawn since April 2015 (and yes, most of it is still One Piece based):

The obsession is real...

As in I recently rekindled my love for One Piece (and I regret nothing). It's basically the only think I seem to be drawing lately so I figured I might as well upload everything here (The drawings go from oldest to newest. I love how much spamming fanart for this show is making me improve!)

Sketches





Just a load of sketches today. I must admit I really am liking just how quick and easy I am finding doing figures now.

Draw-a-thon!


So I have lately been feeling really meh about my art, I may have also vented about it to a friend on Skype... Sorry! I may have also been feeling really sorry for myself about it (cause I'm kinda lame that way) BUT then I was all "Time to put my big girl knickers on!" and got down to doing something about it. That's when I was all "I'm just gonna draw all day today and see what happens." and thus Draw-a-thon began. I streamed the entire thing. The videos are available to watch on my livestream page: 





I love the result, if I'm truly honest with you.
But I didn't stop there!

Did a full colour too. I'll be doing more of these. The sketches will be a daily thing. First step towards regaining what I feel I lost and improving on it.

Quick update!



Alrighty, just a quick post with something I did last night. Clemont from the newer seasons of Pokemon. Was a request from a friend during a stream last night. 


In other news I am gonna be selling art at an anime/games convention in Dundee in April. I still have really no idea what I am going to be selling but I am confident I will get everything done... However if anyone has any suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments below!

Colour experiments!

 Trying my hand at new brushes and techniques when it comes to colour. I must admit I quite like the outcome!


  





Naturally I practised on Pokemon first

This one Is a WIP. It will be finished
I also tried my hand at painting fire. A lot of trial and error and I still feel there could be mush room for improvement.
