College work, uni applications and all that junk.

Been ages since I've updated this blog... Been busy with college projects and building my portfolio, so I can guarantee that I haven't stopped drawing at all, which is always a plus right?

It's been pretty hectic these past few months, worrying about which university to apply to... What work needs to be done for what date and the whole "try to improve your art skills" thing. Then again thats a constant goal for an artsist isn't it?

But to be fair, I have also been busy...Ehh...Playing video games. Yes. That means busy. It gave me inspiration to draw so no complaints from me! It's fun AND inspiring, and because it's drawing it's double the fun! Even better. :D

I have been meaning to post some life drawing over here for a looooong time now, and I actually do have some stuff to throw up here for those who still check back here! Prepare to be blinded by my horrible attempts at anatomy!
I will try and post the rest at a later date, once my portfolios have been sent around to the Universities I have applied to.

Hope you've all been keeping well! I gotta get back to working on these deadline hehe.

Toodles!

Interviews.

Well I just had an interview at Stevenson college for my animation course option. As it stands I don't think I will get a spot, not because of my work but because of a faulty computer. There's supposed to be one more computer in the room but apparently the tech people aren't fixing it or whatever. So I'm probably not going to get a place which sucks because it means I have to stay at Boroughmuir.

However, I do have a reserved spot in case someone wants to drop out of the class, so if anyone does I'll be able to get in. They think I'm very young for doing it though, because a few more highers will improve my chances at art colleges... Oh well.

They said if I had applied a little earlier they would have given me a spot, but I do have other options. I can either start college in January instead and have another interview in November/December, or wait another year.

They'll give me a call later on with what's happening, but I must say it doesn't look like I'll be going this year. Sucks to be me.

Well.

Onto the practice of human anatomy!...Well soon enough anyway, I plan on creative a study of human figures over the summer and keeping it in a folder/book of some description. I'll be sitting around various spots in Edinburgh and sketching out things when the weather agrees. That is if my plan comes together or not, but I'll be doing my damnedest to make it happen!

For this occasion I have complied a few rough sketches of a human head, but bare in mind people I suck at realism, and this is from memory. No refs were used at all so they're, well, like I said. Rough.

Enjoy!
