this is my work-in-progress illustration and inspiration blog. it's not where i post lovely, finished masterpieces or anything. here is where i will record my frustrations and triumphs (i hope there will be triumphs) and also intriguing things which other creators have made.
and isn't it wonderful when you've been scratching pencils on paper and wasting ink, hate everything that comes out, then you draw something, and there it is, something you actually like? the creative process is so weird. i mean, it's always portrayed as this mysterious almost magical thing when an artist creates a masterpiece. and so what hope does a girl like myself have to create something people want to look at?
it's also scary, going into illustration. at least i think so. i worry a lot about the future. i will not graduate into a secure cubicle job, that's for sure (to be fair, not many people do these days). to make a living from illustrating now, you have to be really good. REALLY GOOD. you have to have an identity and a voice, be recognisable. some would say you have to have a 'style'.
i know i have something to say but i don't know exactly what it is, and i'm not sure how to say it.
so here i document these minuscule explorations...
