About

Hi and welcome to my blog~

As an illustration student in my final year, I look forward to completing my studies while continuing to improve and broaden my artistic skill set. I chose to study illustration after finding an interest in textile and fashion design- I quickly realised I was more interested in the characters themselves rather than the garments and interiors/environments I was designing. This brought me into character design, which is one of my main areas of interest within the subject. I also enjoy working with pattern, as I have a fascination with repetition and organisation within visual design.

My work is quite feminine- I enjoy using flowing line and curves in my work, with a strong emphasis on female characters and figures. Natural influence is also a strong feature in my illustration, particularly in terms of pattern and environment. I love painterly textures and natural media, which I am continuing to explore and develop via both traditional and digital platforms.

Between now and October, I’d like to get back into illustrating after the long summer break, hopefully improving my understanding of form and colour while also learning new skills as I continue with my studies. I also would like to participate in a daily drawing challenge, as I’ve never managed to complete one of these!

Working towards these goals is really important to me, as I want to finish my degree with a strong understanding of every aspect of illustration, as well as a good work ethic and commitment to my practice. At the same time, I want to illustrate more ‘for fun’ than I have previously, where all of my work has been degree based.
