Sarcasm
My sister asked me to draw her and her boyfriend, so I tried to capture they're personalities. It took a while because I'm not the best as trying to turn someone into a cartoon, but when my drawings started to make me laugh, I knew I must be doing something right! They interact in a loving, yet sarcastic playful way.
Logo
I've been meaning to do this for a while because I've noticed I sign my work 'Donna' and brand myself 'Skriblet' like on here and on my facebook page. This needs to change, so I've been trying to come up with a logo! I've been doing various scribbles (some of them are awful, ha!) but I quite like this one....

Third year starts NOW...well, yesterday actually
It all started on Monday! This third year is going to be gone by the time I know it! 4 modules, 8 months - GO!!!
After we got past the cheesy "My name is Donna and I...yadda yadda" out of the way, we talked more in depth about our specialisms and where we hope to be after we've received that special little scroll with our name on (along with the silly outfit we'll be wearing!)
I hope to go into children's illustration in the future but I'm also planning on taking a PGCE course after this so I can get a teaching qualification. At the moment I'm thinking of teaching at a primary school level but I can also see myself enjoying teaching college students. Teaching college students would allow me to be involved more in a specific area, because teaching at a primary level wouldn't be specifically art based - it would be all subjects. Saying this, whichever subject - be it history or english, art is incorporated into a lot of it, encouraging children to learn through hands-on and visual ways. One of my favourite things I got to do at school was in History where we learnt about Greek mythology and had to draw and design masks resembling greek gods.
Speaking of this, we've already been asked to research and find a suitable client for this year that relates to our career path. Since I'm wanting to do children's illustration and also teach, I've been thinking about combining those and approaching different schools and organisations to see if I can produce something that serves an educational purpose to encourage learning within a specific subject.
...so watch this space! I'm going to look into this.

Lord Ganesh
I've been doodling away recently, drawing up mini illustrations of the Hindu god, Ganesh! At the moment I'm deciding which one to develop between the one on the left and the one on the bottom right. The one on the bottom looks kind of serious in an intense stare sort of way, but the one on the left looks gentle and compassionate. I need to think about what I want to say with this piece of artwork before I decide on which one I want to go for.
This was a little experiment, mixing the two together, but I think I prefer the eyes of the one on the left better than this one, even though I tried to soften it a little by using eyelashes. Ganesh is male, but if you check out the way Hindu gods and goddess are portrayed, they have the same face whether they are male or female!
There's one important thing I've stupidly missed out from this doodle! Ganesh has 4 arms, not two! DOH!
