This unit has taught me a lot about the different types of illustration in which I could choose to specialise. We were required to complete a series of three mini-projects. Each of these concentrated on a different aspect of illustration: narrative, editorial and reportage.

As a whole, these three projects have taught me to plan my actions and manage my time effectively. Never before have I created a timetable for my own individual work-based activities during a course. I think this timetable definitely helped me to be more organised and keep on track with my projects. My time management skills improved more towards the end of the unit as I am steadily getting back into the swing of working again after the long summer holidays. Saying that, if I were to do these mini-projects again, I would aim to follow my timetable a bit more closely, as although I used to tell me what I needed to do, I didn't stick to the dates specified well enough.

The editorial brief was the first, and in my opinion, the least enjoyable mini-project. One of the problems I faced with this project is that I didn't find any of the articles we were asked to illustrate to be particularly interesting. I had little inspiration for this project and I feel the standard of my outcome was effected by this. If I want to do editorial illustration in future I will have to accept that I won't find everything I have to illustrate particularly interesting.

One thing I learnt from this project is to use colour more effectively. When I looked at my boring black and white outcome amongst everyone else's colourful pictures I began to realise how important it was to make your work stand out. Mine was not eye catching enough. After realising this I went back to my final piece and added a colourful background and some highlights with watercolour. I think this made the image look much better.

The second of the three projects was the reportage brief. I enjoyed this project since I like location drawing. I felt my sketchbook work was of a much better standard than my final piece for this project. The brief was very open so we could do whatever we wanted. I chose to write a poem and illustrate it. I didn't feel my poem was particularly good. My English skills are not particularly strong, so choosing to do a written piece probably wasn't a good idea. At least it gave me a chance to branch out and try something new, even if it didn't go to plan.

As I have said, one thing I did enjoy about this project was the location drawing. I managed to develop a new looser, more free style of drawing which I will definitely use again. I enjoyed using continuous line, as it is quick and not too precise, but still looks interesting and sometimes quite abstract. I managed to fill up my sketchbook quite quickly using continuous line. I think this unit in particular helped me to improve my work, as drawing from life is always good practice. The fact I tried to push myself by getting out of my comfort zone helped too. I attempted to draw architecture, whereas before I would shy away from it.

The last project we had to do was on narrative. We were given a number of Greek myths to read and we had to choose the one we most wanted to illustrate. I chose the story of Narcissus. I picked out the three most important things that happen in the story and drew them. I feel my supporting work for this project was not up to standard. I planned on visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum and drawing the statues of male bodies but I couldn't afford it. This made me rather down-heartened and as a result I became less enthusiastic about my sketchbook work. On the whole, I don't mind my final illustrations for this project. We were told to make our drawings suitable for both a young and old audience. I think my brightly coloured pictures will appeal to children as well as being sophisticated enough to appeal to an older audience.

On the whole I could have done more supporting sketchbook work for all of my projects. I prefer to visualise my final artwork in my head and put it straight down onto paper. This is a bad thing since I don't know whether my image will actually look good until I've completed it. I need to learn to plan out my work in my sketchbook first. This is something I will think about in future.

Another thing I will do next time is more research. I find looking at other artists work particularly inspiring and influential on my work. Inspiration is something I was lacking on the editorial brief and I feel more artist research could have helped me with that. On the plus side, I managed to use both books and the internet for this project, which is something which I don't usually manage.

Winton Graveyard

Elenor Jane
Completely insane,
Sat atop a cliff in the rain.
The sodden earth crumbled
And downwards she tumbled,
Suffusing her blood soaked, rocky remains.

Mr Maurice
Became too obese,
They said to stop eating, he just wouldn't cease.
He poisoned his innards, crippled his heart,
With his sweet treats he could not part.
Beneath a birch he now lies in peace.

Poor Miss Best
Had nothing left,
Packed up her life and began heading west.
Met a man full of wit and charm,
Thought he'd keep her safe from harm.
A fool, she was. He knifed her chest.

Master James Hues
One for the booze,
Hard spirits; whiskey and rum he'd abuse.
He sucked up pints till his liver turned grey,
At 30 years old he slipped away.
His mother and father sobbed in the pews.

Old Mrs Fleet
Died in her sleep
The middle of winter; outside there was sleet.
She dreamed of warmth and moments passed
and light and sun; that dream, her last.
Around her coffin her relatives weeped.

Seeing everyone elses work is helping to inspire me and is giving me lots of ideas. The fact that everyone seems to be better than me is also bringing out the competitive side of my personality I'm sure with practice I'll catch up with the others eventually.

Moving out has been mad. My housemates are all crazy On our first night here we all went skinny dipping in the sea at 4am We've turned out garden into something amazing by introducing a paddling pool, space hoppers and a gazebo. Living away from home is fun

OH MY GOD I saw Angels and Demons today with my loverr and it was AMAZING. GO AND WATCH IT. I also stuffed my face with sugar and now I'm hyper

Anyway, sorry I haven't updated in like a million years, I've been far too busy. I think over my extremely long summer holidays I will upload some of the work I've done this year. There's so much of it

Now all that's left to do is find somewhere to live next year. I can't wait to move out and spend ridiculous amounts of money that I don't have on unaffordable accommodation ... No, really! I'm serious!

"It's long and complicated" says louise

We also failed to go on any of the trips the university's holding, which I am prettyyyyy annoyed about. I really wanted to go to New York!

We had portfolio reviews the other day. Out of everything I've done this year, the only piece to catch my tutors eye was the charcoal portrait I did with my EYES CLOSED.
... THAT JUST TAKES THE FRICKIN' WILLY.

So yeah. If I fuck this up, maybe I'll take a gap year then try and get onto a creative writing course or something. It's pretty much the only thing I have a decent A level in and I'm sorta-kinda-maybe-okayish at. Art was my backup plan, this would be the backup plan to rescue my failing backup plan.

Nobody really wants to know this but hey.

I hate myself for saying this but its so GOOD >_< I downloaded the entire album

I've spent this evening putting new music on my ipod and deleting some of the shit I have on there If anyone has any music recommendations I'd be all to happy to hear them... I need music to drive to

Tonight will be spent clapping and attempting look interested whilst 200-odd people walk back and forth between a stage and their seats, collecting various certificates and awards. Prize giving thingy at my old sixthform... Ehhhh

On a brighter note... I cannot wait until saturday.

You know what else is a good site? Postsecret. [link] Everyone's already seen it, I know, but it entertains me. The Postsecret videos on youtube are cool. Worth a browse if you're really bored and don't mind backing track after backing track of All American Rejects "Dirty Little Secret".

Anyway, enough about the internet. For those who are interested (that'd be nobody, but hey!) I managed to pass my assessment on Tuesday. My tutor even said that I was "hard working"... I haven't been called "hard working" since year 9 It has to be said, my improved attitude to work definitely has a lot to do with the steady decline of my social life. If I could be going out every night instead of doing work, I would be

Right, well, I'm tired and hungry and my chin really itches and its starting to throw me off track. I'm going to stop typing stuff now. Good night!

See, I didn't forget to include it in my journal! Hehe.

___

Wellity wellity wellity. Haven't updated this in a while. Happy Halloween, I suppose.

Guess what? I'm nineteen now! I feel dead old. Even the co-ops stopped asking me for ID on drinks. Crazy. My dad gave me £300 the day after my birthday, which is pretty insane. Its the most he's ever spent on me in one go We're constantly in a state of financial crisis so understandably this didn't go down too well with my mother She went ever so pale when she found out. It almost made me feel guilty... almost.

Unfortunately, for some weird and twisted reason, I've found that money no longer makes me happy. I'm very grateful, but you know. It'll only go on petrol.

Hmm... what else is there? Oh, I might randomly take a road trip to Exeter/Plymouth tomorrow. We'll see where the mood takes me I want to see a few of my college friends. I miss them a lot.

I caused grievous bodily harm to my car today. I decorated it with some lovely scratches by reversing into a wall. My car was in perfect condition before I got my hands on it How sad.

I forgot mention that I'm no longer single It makes me happy. I'm very lucky to have found someone patient enough to put up with me for this long. Its only been a month, but still. I'm hard work

Oohh and I never said about my shitty job. I complain about it so much Most week days, before uni, I wake up at some ungodly hour to go and babysit. It means I'm a complete write-off for the rest of the day because I'm so tired. And do you know how much I get paid? £3 an hour. I kid you not. I earn more by selling alcohol to my little brother...
Yes. I'm responsible like that

Lastly, as far as uploads go... they're not happening. I might put some of my uni stuff up, not that I like very much of it.

I want a hug. Haven't been in the greatest of moods recently. Winter never agrees with me.

Just finished my first week at Bomo Arts institute. I think I'm guna like it there. The people on my course () all seem pretty sound. Missed a freshers day yesterday thanks to a cold... and not just any kind of cold... a MAN COLD. Srsly.

Oops. Just realised that I left my central heating on all day. I'm sweatin' like a peedo in a nursery! SO HOT.

I have had suchhhh a busy week like omg. My eyes are blood shot. Its attractive. I think I'll have a relaxing Friday evening at home.
LA-AAAME.

Anyway, that's enough unstructured rambling for this journal. I'm off.

- Got a car. Its fun.
- My foundation art and design course starts next week, so you'll probably be seeing a lot of art from me in the coming months.
- STILL job hunting. Fuck. Forgot to apply to Sainsburys.
- Went on holiday to Cumbria.
- Going on holiday to Barcelona today.
- I'm tired and this journal is boring.

Looking for a car. A cheap one. Need something for like £800 I don't care if its a paper bag on wheels.

Applying for jobs to help me afford said car. Hope to work at the country store near me.

Went to Bournemouth Pride. My drink got spiked and I was back home by 12. Shit. But you know, having your drink spiked is a really quick and cheap way to get wasted. Every cloud, every cloud Clubbing in sals tomorrow. Lets hope its not a repeat of last time

Trying to get fit! Yeah I know it is pretty crazy. Went for a long bike today and only noticed that the breaks were on for the entire cycle ride when I got back home. Went for a run up a hill with me maytes on monday at 4am to catch sunrise. All we saw was glorious smog.

Done no more art. I failz.

My bunny rabbit is sitting on my feet

- I got a beautiful set of Derwent coloured pencils the other day. They're so shiny and new, I can't bring myself to use them I might just mount them on a wall somewhere in our house and admire them from afar.

- I've finished filling in my Waitrose application form. I hope they give me a job.

- Going to Bournemouth pride festival on the 11th, 12th and 13th Nahh, I'm not gay I'm just accompanying someone We went last year too and it was truly legendary. We were 17 but we got let into every gay club and were served at every bar, haha. We also met some insane people. Can't wait for this years doohicky

- Booked my second driving test for the 11th! Wish me luck! I'll need it

- My room is TIDY. I haven't tidied my room for about 3 years ... Yeah, I'm kinda running out of news here

I'll also do some art. I actually really really miss sitting down and drawing something for myself. And I have so much inspirationn!

Summer solstice soon! I'll be off to Stonehenge to party with the druids Last years solstice was epic. Some guy who claimed to be "american jesus" gave me free drink I also made friends with a random austrian and a load of squaddies. Was a bit good.

EDIT: I got into bournemouth arts institute! YAY. Its an amazing course and I get it for FREE cos I'm under 19 when we start I so didn't expect to get in, cos I haven't got art A level, just AS. I thought I'd have to reapply next year and pay for the course. But I don't. Whhheeeeeeeeeee

Finally escaped the school/college I've been going to for 7 years... if you ignore the fact that I have to go back there for exams

Oh yeah! I took a driving test and failed! Goooo ME! It was seriously traumatising. The guy who was testing me told me to beep the horn and I was there for literally 15 minutes whilst I tried to figure out where it was. Once I'd located the horn, I found that it wasn't working. Meanwhile, some guy had pulled up next to me and had managed to find his horn (bloody show off)... I tried to convince the instructor that it was me who was making the beeping noise but he was having none of it

Anyhoo, turned out the engine had to be on for the horn to work. Oops.

I bought shoes online today [link] I'm so excited about them They'd better fit. Its not easy to find shoes when you have man feet but you're actually a woman

I also got this to go with [link] Oohh! and a lovely necklace with a big fuck off pendant

I am a happy chappy

... I'd be even happier if I didn't have exams coming up After exams, I'll do art, I swear

OOH! Finally, check out weezers new video! If you understand any of it, you're officially an internet whore

- Did I mention that I met MSI? Anyway I did. After one of their concerts me and my mate ended up in their dressing room drinking their coffee. Was pretty ace.

Yesterday was so odd

Went for a bus journey accross parts of wiltshire and dorset. It was pretty good. Somehow we managed to find some discarded tescos vouchers, and we used them to buy 10 bottles of cheap alcopop shit (surprise surprise.) We sat on bournemouth beach drinking them in front of the sun set Nice. On the bus home we met some random bloke who claimed to be a billionaire. We thought, "ey! get in there!" and invited him back to my mate stu's house Turned out he stole 5k from his job in waitrose and probably wasn't a billionaire (this is where we started thinking "oh shit") but he was cool anyway, so it didn't matter too much

Tomorrow I'm going to a concert IF I can get a lift there, that is. Unfortunately (and I'm not quite sure how) everyone has managed to fall out with the guy who would be giving us a lift, including me, which quite surprised me when I found out I never properly fall out with people. So yeah, bit pissed off about the lift situation.

On the art front, I've been doing nothinnngg >_< Not good. Somebody inspire me, QUICK!

I'm really only on here now to brag about various things

I passed my driving theory today, with 50/50 on the multiple choice questions. GO MYSELF

Ooohh, and I have paid commissions to do

See what I mean? *smug*

OH! I finished the painting I mentioned in my last journal. Its fucking crap My dad told me I'd "let myself down" Ahh well!

Thats another thing! My parents are back from their cruise *BOOO HISSSSS* Having the house to myself was a right rave... but then they had to be all selfish and return from Jamaica. pshh.

My parents go away on holiday next week for two weeks YEAAH! Louise, you have to come stay over We can wander around fordingbridge drinking kick all night like last time x) Oh and I'll probably be having a few little get togethers and you are welcome to come to any of them.

When you write a really long journal entry thats got it all... action, romance, and some sweet gags... but OHNO! the page refreshes the window turns white you watch in horror as a new page with a blank journal space loads... you frantically press the back button, but nope... the damage is irreversible... you hit the keyboard in a fit of anger... "dkjghdfsdbgkl"



Its times like this which make me want to consume coupious amounts of alpro soya light pineapple and passion fruit yoghurts


Now you're all clinging to your seats, praying for me to expose the secrets of which my previous journal entry contained ... No? Ahh, well I'm guna tell you anyway

I was basically just moaning about stuff... who would have thought it... me? moan? Surely not!

I was moaning about my gran being in hospital, my mum moving into her house, my best friend of, what? 8 years? cellebrating her 18th with other friends... as in, not me! & it was in friggin cornwall of all places... cornwall, pshhhh


ooh! And I got an after college detention for missing GENERAL STUDIES! Who fucking cares about general studies?! Since when has general studies been of any use to ANYONE? If I wanted to know about Winston fucking Churchill I'd invent a time machine... and its winter, I'm sitting in your shitty outdoor "temporary classrooms" (they're like cardboard boxes, I'm not kidding) shivering my ass off and you have the nerve to lecture me about GLOBAL WARMING? Oh toss off with your useless freaking facts you nazi scum

Oh woe is me!

You know what the worst thing in the whole world is though? The fact I'm stuck at home on a friday night. Why God, why?

I'm bored. Really bored. Really really bored.

Heres a list of interesting things that have happened to me lately:
















...



So yeah.

Unless booking tickets for give it a name and sum 41 count as interesting, my life has been quite dull of late

Why then, do I feel so stressed? How mysterious! I shouldn't be allowed tobacco at my house. It seems the whole family is taking up smoking. Well, my mum claims she's going to, and I've been having the odd cigarette to calm me down. Things have been pretty poor between me and an old friend lately (haha, don't worry, not you louise ) so I'll just put it down to that

Oh, and in true Emily style... I have a REALLY SORE THROAT!

I couldn't post a journal entry without complaining about some kind of illness, now, could I?

I then limped down town on what my mum says is a broken foot because my friend promised she'd buy me a freddo if I went down with her

My foot hurts quite a fucking bit now My mum bandaged it up and wants to drag me up to casualty... no way mate!

In other news, I'm still drawing some womans ugly kids, and I've decided that I hate curly hair. Its such a bitch to draw!

My mum just came running up to me to tell me the rabbits moon walking Its pushing itself backwards across our wooden floor using its front paws... um... whut?



___

I'm ill I think I have flu. I have no energy, I feel a bit sick and my sinuses are blocked. Cos you all totally need to know. When I'm ill, everyone else suffers too, as I like to moan... I DO expect sympathy

Anyway, my weekend was grrrreat I saw sweeny todd on friday, which was a bit of alright, then hung around with friends for a bit and went home.

Saturday was kerrang tour. It was amazing And the best part was that it was free! chris, lyall and andy gave me my ticket for my birthday. eeeee it was one of the best presents I've ever gotten There were looaads of guys from college there. We went for a drink before hand and accidentally missed circa survive ahh well. we still managed to see fightstar, madina and coheed After the show we stalked madina lake and fightstar and bumped into circa survive in subway

look! me and a person from a band!

[link]

woo! its the drummer from fightstar I'm not even that into fightstar but HEY! imo they're simply a glorified busted, haha.

you can't really tell, but below is the singer of coheed and cambria. go phone camera!

[link]

and heeres a random picture of me and my friend andy looking well hot

[link]

After the show we all stayed around lyalls and wrecked his house upon leaving there was food smeared everywhere and the sweet smell of burning plastic filled the air. Haha, it was a larrf.

Its weekends like these that keep me sane!

I should probably get on with some art coursework now.

Travelled 350 miles to meet this crazy bunch

I'm right at the back somewhere... that was actually a photo booth

The bottom one is of everyone who went, bar one, I think

Anyway, that isn't what I'm here to tell you about No, I'm here because I've had a revelation!

The other day my mum asked one of her work friends and her two children over for dinner and a chat.

So as usual my mum felt compelled to show these people my college art book, which is well annoying, because 99% of the work in there is shite

After looking at my art book, this woman quite forcefully suggested that I draw her kids So I ran with it. My mums picking up a photo of them tomorrow morning.

I've decided that if these portraits go well, I might try sticking an advert up at my mums playschool, asking if anyone else wants portraits of their kids Seems like a good enough idea to me! To everyone else it might seem laughable, because most of my work in my gallery is quite bad, but I KNOW I can do better than what I've done so far I have confidence in myself, even if my mum thinks the idea is farfetched haha.

So yeah. I don't know how much to charge. I guess it depends on how good they turn out.

No, this isn't something I've only just decided, I've been thinking about it for a long time.

After coming across these

[link]

[link]

... I've been really inspired to get my act together and start thinking of a design! I don't know how long its going to take... I guess as long as it takes me to find something thats relevant enough to have branded on me for the rest of my life...

I think the white tattoos are absolutely beautiful and much more elegant than ones with a black outline. Plus, they fade, meaning when I'm 4986749876 it'll hardly be there, which is good. Old ladies with tattoos are funny

Watchers, you may be seeing a few tattoo designs cropping up in my gallery

eeeee!! I want one NOW!

Been to two different countries, many different concerts, met famous people, met unfamous people, drank a lot, made at least one new life-long friend, slept under the stars at stone henge on the summer solstice, visited my first gay bar, found an interest in art, turned 18, got a job and quit it and lots of other stuff which I have forgotten!

I have also become a much more confident and happy person

Louise, we need to go to more concerts, cos seeing muse was one of the highlights of my whole year and something I will neverrr forget


Goals:

Learn to drive
Carry on with my art
Try not to fail my A levels too badly
Get into uni
Be nicer
Grow up a bit
Get out more
Have a great time!

My goals are quite vague and shite, but hey

Bring on the new year! *waits*

I've recieved my annual frame supply. It seems everyone thinks I'm experiencing a severe frame shortage, as they do every year...

Oh, and candles. Hundreds upon hundreds of them... Great! I can use them to burn all those frames!

Bath stuff! How could I forget that?! I have tonnes of it! People must think I really smell.

I feel ill. I've eaten far too much chocolate.

& I have a cold

Apparently, I'm like a little over excited puppy

I have to stop flapping, squealing and making funny noises.

I found out the hard way that going the wrong direction down a dual carriageway is a no no...

I also have tremendous difficulties with keeping to the speed limit.

My homework assignment is to figure out my left from my right

Big important things happening in my life at the moment except they're not that big or important:

- I quit my understaffed job just in time for the christmas rush! Well, I've given in my notice, my last day is next saturday... thank GOD Two months working there is enough to put anyone off living

- I'm learning to drive I've been driving my dads car around the forest a lot recently. I can't stick to the speed limit... it seems I have a need for speed

- I had a wondeful dream last night. It had everything! Action, adventure, romance, big tidle waves wiping out civilisation... and even better, I could fly!

Looking forward till christmas THOUGH I STILL HAVENT DONE ALL MY XMAS SHOPPING... AHRHJHGJH


That will be all

Thats two concerts in the space of a week which I've hyped myself up for only to be told I can't go.

I'm so fed up of being let down. I'm bored of having nothing to do & putting up with the same routine every day... gaah. Its doing my head in! Where has my social life gone?

I know that I shouldn't let such things trouble me... but yeah...

]]> ~em1lyxstrange http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15837932/ http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15837932/ Fri, 07 Dec 2007 17:24:02 PST
That concert was pretty much all thats been keeping me going through the past month.

I would go off on a rant about why I can't go, but it'd make me even more disappointed.

Anyway, yeah... I'm just a tad fucking gutted.

That's another £18 down the drain, thanks to people who can't make up their freaking minds.

I could seriously do with cutting myself off from civilisation for a couple of weeks. I've gone off the human race. They're starting to annoy me.

]]> ~em1lyxstrange http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15751582/ http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15751582/ Sat, 01 Dec 2007 15:11:23 PST It seems DA is the only place where I get replies to my constant whinging, so I thought I'd come here!

So anyway. Work has reached a new low. I don't get on with anyone there, depite my on going efforts to make conversation.

My two friends who work there (on different days to me) tell me they get on with everyone fine... this kind of makes me feel socially retarded. I mean, I've been friendly, and I'm constantly trying to spark conversation, but I get the cold shoulder every time. Why is that?

Also, all the people I work with are always angry. This makes me hesitant about making conversation.

But the main thing that keeps me from talking to them is the fact that the kitchen is so LOUD. I have terrible hearing. I never know if they will hear me, and even if they do, chances are I wont hear their reply. Friends and family get assy about having to repeat everything twice for me to hear it all the time, I know it will be the same at work.

Something else that bugs me - I do everything wrong. EVERYTHING. I didn't know washing up could be so damn complicated Anyway, I'll be surprised if I don't get fired at some point. All I ever do is upset everyone there.

Oh, and the boredom factor is sky high... I stand in front of a sink for 4 hours... RAAAVEEE

The pays shit too.

I would quit, but walking away from my problems is something I've been trying to stop doing recently :-\ Also, I've only worked there for a month... they'd be like "you want to quit ALREADY?"


*sigh*

I wonder if it is actually possible to have a job which you enjoy doing. I hope work wont be this shit when I get a real job.

Him: Sure!
Me: Will you sign my shoe? It REAKS!
Him: ... ew. okay.
Me: OH! And my ticket!
Him: fine
Me: Now pose for a photo!
Him: *SIGH*
Me: SMILE *click*
Him: anything ELSE?
Me: Hmm... no, no that just about covers it. You can go now

Then my friends did the same... Then we had a chat... and then we went home in fits of fangirlism (even the boys ) The support band followed us to the car! They were stalking us! They wanted my autograph, fosho.

Mika was amazing live FAR better than I thought he was gunna be! The support, polladium, were pretty good too I hadn't heard of them before that night... I'll probably do what I ususally do and decide I'm their biggest fan AFTER I've seen them live and not known/been able to appreciate any of their songs

[link] Mika

[link] Me and my buddies in the crowd

Anyway! It was a fantastic night! Bring on hellogoodbye

In other news, I'm rather tired at the moment. I went late night shopping last night. It was good

I'm now debating going into college or not. I slept through art, dammit. I only have English now. I'd only go in to speak to friends... I don't know if its worth it I am absolutely SHATTERED. The last two nights have been rather busy and I don't have much energy left!

Fuck it, I'll sit here and try to sort out my university application. Today is the deadline! Ahhh!

I don't actually know if I have to apply through ucas though, so it might not be... OH WELL

]]> ~em1lyxstrange http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15631020/ http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15631020/ Fri, 23 Nov 2007 06:26:05 PST

I was using them today in class and they were SO-MUCH-FUN

Okay, after two hours I was complaining that I was bored of using them, but thats just me. I have the shortest attention span EVER. For me to spend 2 hours on something is incredibly impressive. I'm starting to think I have attention deficit disorder

If all goes well I'll probably upload what I was drawing when I've finished it

Oohh & I've also been trying out water colours. They're very fun but I'm absolutely CRAP at using them

AAH! I'm seeing mika next week!

MORE CONCERTS YAAAY.

I still havent paid for my ticket Though I might end up getting it for free, which would be nice

My bunny rabbit is sitting on my feeeeet. He always does that. Saves money on slippers He sometimes sits there all night and only moves when I do Not that I spend all night at the computer or anything

I have to work tonight.

I blame stress. I seem to be letting even the smallest things stress me out recently. I'm not usually the type to spend loads of time worrying but at the moment I can't help it College, work, friends, parents evening, forms needing to be sent off, university applications needing to be completed, outstanding homeworks, money, parents expecting more of me... its like everything that should have been troubling me for the past few months has finally caught up with me And its stopping me from getting to sleep at night, which in turn is making me miserable. CHEER UP EMILY *SLAPS*

Anyway(!) I will try to upload something of a fairly decent quality asap. I have a lot of art coursework to do which will eventually be uploaded

Just thought I'd make some excuses for my lack of decent drawings/paintings

]]> ~em1lyxstrange http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15535230/ http://em1lyxstrange.deviantart.com/journal/15535230/ Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:55:19 PST

We met lots of nice people, incluuuding and I wish I got to talk to you two more actually! But I had ticket selling to attend to (I would like to take this occasion to appologise for my horrific hyperness... and for maybe, just MAYBE, using a missing barrier to my and my friends advantage and ending up in front of you two...

Anyways! Well, MSI were freaking amazing... probably better than MCR tbf. I didn't think MCR played that well... then again, it was good of them to actually turn up considering two of the band members were missing

Next time, I'll probably watch MCR from the bar. I've decided that I'm too tall to watch them from the front... the amount of people having a go at me for being tall

Plus the crowd was freakin uncomfortable and I ended up near the back anyway... Not quite sure how I managed that... I kinda gave up at saving my place towards the end of MCRs set

So yeaaah... I got back from london at 3am, got 2 hours sleep and then got up to go back to London for a psychology trip.

I was EXHAUSTED. I'm pretty sure my psychology group thinks I'm the most boring person on earth after today... I stole this girls ipod and curled up against the window of the coach all the way there and back

The trip was okay. The company (edit: company as in people I was with) was shit (edit: what?! they ignored me!), the conferences were interesting... YES, I did just call psychology interesting, you're not just seeing things It makes a change, really... I usually go on these trips for the company and ignore the lecture but it was the other way around this time. There was this guy who'd escaped death row who gave an absolutely unbelievable speech about his time in prison. He got a standing ovation at the end of his talk. He really deserved it.

Though, 3 girls in my class didn't think so... apparently "he had a stupid accent" which therefore meant that his whole talk was awful... bear in mind that these three are south african

Oh, their other point was that "he just talked about himself!" ... yeah... I'm pretty sure that's what he was aiming for...

Eugh. And I thought I was annoying

We also went shopping on oxford st which was alright I guess.

I'm going to stop typing now, before I bore you to death

... BYE

Anyway... on wednesday I went to Goldsmith universitys open day in London... OH MY GOD IT WERE ACE. I HAVE to go there! Which means even MORE work! Its really hard to get onto their art courses, as they're supposed to be one of the best unis for art in the UK... Hurst studied there! This means I'm going to have to get my act together and produce something actually worth looking at for a portfolio. Only 1 in 10 people who apply actually get onto the course so its going to be difficult

In other news I'M SEEING MCR IN UNDER A WEEK

_ _ _ _ _ _

EDIT - I have several commissions If you can call them that... more like

Person: Hello! I like your work! ... I'd love a drawing of my dog *waits*
Me: ... Thats nice
Person: ...
Me: Oh fucking hell OKAY I'll draw your freakin dog

It'll be crap anyway Can't draw fur for shit.

I'm still working on my baby drawing... it now looks a little better than the WIP I posted (thank God) but I'm still faffing about with the skin tones.

I also have to draw an old lady for art class... it'll probably be my Grandma.

And I have other things I want to draw too... liklihood is it will take me 5 billion years to actually get around to drawings these things but MEEHH


I'M NOT WORKING DOWN THE PUB TOMORROW YAAAAAY.

Oh, and I have college on top of that, so yes, it does make me ever so slightly suicidal (if you know me, you'll know how much I dislike work of any kind )

- My birthday went well! We went camping... in october I thought it was going to be shit but it wasn't really, despite the fact that nobody could be arsed with turning up Heres a picture of a few people who did bother turning up [link] As you can tell, we were keeping the noise down and being very sensible and UNdrunk, ayyee

- For my birthday Andy, Chris and Lyall bought me tickets for Kerrang tour! I officially LOVE those three I feel kinda bad though because I was really like "woah, what?" when they told me and my greatfulness didn't show through BUT YAAAY. They also said they'd got me another present So now I'm like "craaaaap" because all I got Chris for his birthday was prunes, haha

- I haven't had much time to do art because I've been super busy working, but somewhen I hope to find time to do something with the water colour pencils louise got me for my birthday

I'm sure there was more I needed to write in this journal, but at the moment I cant think of what it is so nevermind

I bet nobody read all that

I've looked at all of the deviations but haven't really had much time to comment on many of them. If I've left something lame like "ooh thats good" or "I like it" then please excuse me

Its my 18th birthday on sunday! I'm having a hypothermia party! Yep, I'm taking 10, maybe 11 people camping with me. If its shit, if we end up sitting there, twiddling thumbs and talking about the freezing cold weather, I will cry... and then force everyone up the pub I refuse to have a boring birthday!!

On the drawing side of things, I had the most AMAZING IDEA but then couldn't put it into action because of lack of stock images and laziness... one day maybe I will get around to it

They wont let me drop psychology meaning I can't do a full art course.

I'm going to fail psychology anyway, so whats the point in taking it?

It was partly because of this that I didn't bother going to English today... also, I was too annoyed by everything and everyone

Though, as far as college knows, I was "ill"

Tbf, if I had gone to English, I might have stabbed myself with my pen, and possibly others too, then I would be ill, and so would they, so my excuse is valid

You know when you get so pissed off, all you can do is just smile and ignore everyones dumbass comments? Okay, I'm probably the only one that does that... but yeah, that was my day -_-

Anyway... wohoo its the weekend.

I'm so fucking lazy... I have ONE LITTLE BIT OF CURTAIN to shade on my picture of my chem and I can't bring myself to do it... ONE LITTLE CORNER...

I've come to the conclusion that I just hate colouring in curtains and BOYOBOY is there a lot of curtain in that thar photoshoot. EEEUGHH.

In other news *shuffles papers* I went to the british national art gallery yesterday. I have now seen 3 of the 4 sunflower paintings by monet. They're pretty. I also saw some other tres famous paintings. I could have spent all day in that gallery!

I also wandered into some cathedral thinger and saw where a loada famous dead people were burried. Churchill, Nelson, thingy nightengale... guuh, I forget who else The others were just as famous though.

It was quite good, like.

Anyway. Thats all I really have to say.

My ultimate weakness

Surprisingly, this time, it hasn't come out too shit. Took a long time though, which it shouldn't have cos there ain't much to the painting in question

Anyhows, I had a day off college today Soooo I decided to draw a tap... I know, how exciting. We got told for our art homework to draw something ugly, small and insignificant... and outdoors... so I was like "oh yay" and started drawing a tap

I've spent like 2 minutes on it so far but its going okay

Right. On to more important things... for my art coursework I have to pick a subject which has gotta be like well deep and stuff. I thought I'd do it on judging people by their appearances and I have a lot of ideas already, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any better ideas than that... so, do ya? do ya, punk.

If not, anyone got any suggestions for things I could draw to do with judging people on their appearances? Any ideas what-so-EVER, no matter how random, are appreciated

I have burnt tomato puree in my eye Why is it that EVERY TIME I eat pizza I get half of it stuck in my eye?


Oh and in case anyone at all is interested, I've got a tad further with the MCR photoshoot... but not very far cos I've been procrastinating for the last bazillion years.

Anywayyy, I have to go back to college today In like, 2 hours. Where did the summer holidays go?

I'm thinking of taking art AS this year, instead of taking history onto A level. I'd enjoy it much more than I would history... plus, that means more traditional art submissions, as opposed to crappy photographs I've taken on my shitty little disposable camera which isn't actually disposable but should be because its so CRAP.

According to my mood *points at mood* I'm horrified! Thats about right. COLLEGE *BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM*

I'm off to london tomorra, to go see sissor sisters with friends, then I'm off up north.

So I thought I'd say bye in my journal

And I thought I'd mention the fact that I'm working on drawing an MCR photoshoot! Not got very far but hey.

That is all.

I REALLY do.

Louise, we have to meet up SOON. Possibly sooner than friday. Because I need company. Because if I don't have company I might just crawl in a hole and die I haven't seen you for ages, liek. So yes, lets go somewhere. Somewhere better than fordy. In other words ANYWHERE.

ANYWAY. I haven't drawn anything in ages and I kinda miss it! I've been tres busy this week, is why. I have a photoshoot of MCR (:-D) which I've been meaning to draw for ages but haven't got round to actually starting...

HARRY POTTERS TURNED HOT. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?
