Okay so here is another update...

After much much self thought I really want to continue in my art career and I think without the artistic practice and views life is pretty much well nothing to me. The last 5 months have been so hard and stressful and I do not want to continue in that way. I have looked into the health care and I think that  profession is good and I would be interested in that but art will always be my number one interest and enjoyment. So if I ever tire or get bored of art, I will go back and study health care. But for now I have made a decision and art is something I want to study, do and excel in. So from here forth I will try and push forward into that vocation in my life. Let the good times roll.

Drawing with Ink pen

So here is a little drawing of Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch, I tried to make his face as bright and blank as possible and the hair and coat quite detailed with more tone.

Just some sketches

I decided to sketch my cat Roo when he was sleeping because he looked so cosy. I used a biro and just went for a basic sketch. I found it was quite linear and I found it needed more detail so I added detail with so me cross hatching

I drew a cup and then added some mini circles as a way to add detail for pattern.


My Pine cone sketch, for the pine cone I wanted to add loads of detail, to show the roughness of the wood.

And lastly my tattoo designs I wanted to make it quite linear. It's going to take a while to perfect it. I am loving the look already. 


About me update

As you know I haven't posted much art lately and I have my reasons for that.

 Firstly I have been on hand to look after my Nan who suffers with dementia she has recently fell over and has broken her hip, so I try to go daily to visit her for an hour in the hospital and see how she is doing.
Secondly I am now back on the dole so job search is all I've been doing at the moment. I wanted to go to uni but I missed the boat yet again so I'm going to take that as 'fate wants me to do something better with my life'. I am now looking into becoming a health care assistant as I have been inspired. So the searching begins.
Thirdly I can drive now (woo) but I am not a confident driver at all (boo), So my lovely car is rarely used. I am trying to be more confident and driving regularly because I don't want to lose my car :o (Lovely picture of my 'Honey Bee' car below)


Fourthly I have had no inspiration :l I feel like I have failed at my dreams of going to uni and becoming the greatest artist ever! hah and that really has really messed up my already poor confidence.
And lastly I don't know why I am writing on here... This is just a way to release my bottled up emotions. Thanks for checking in with me I suppose :')  

Oh and I know this isn't a art related post so here is a painting I did the other day titled 'In all 18 years of my existence the beauty of the moon still amazes and bewilders me' I used watercolours and Pencils. Enjoy :)
