Exciting Future.

'Excited for the Future.'

To start with, if you could sing the word 'Hallelujah', I would be very grateful. You can guess from this blog post that I have finally managed to finish this drawing that I started over a week ago (about bloomin' time, right?). I feel quite relieved it is over with and I can move onto to another one now. It is also the first thing to be crossed off my long to-do list, which is a good thing. Although, I still have plenty on there to get done.

I should probably talk a little bit about the piece now. I started it the day before my boyfriends birthday and I was looking forward to seeing him for the weekend. This is where the title came from and I was even more excited to be treating him to a meal and the cinema with my hard earned cash I'm now making. I even treated myself to some well needed shoes. It feels unbelievably good to own new things.

Unfortunately though, this image took me a while to complete. A lot longer than it really should have. I just wasn't in the mood for it. Maybe my initial feeling for it wore off. But I was still thinking of ways to further this project and if I am allowed to, then I plan to carry it on into second year of university. I should probably write them down... That would be a good idea. It will be on to the next elephant based sketchbook page soon enough.

Desk Space.

My work space yesterday, I finally have my desk back, hallelijah! My parents came to visit me at uni the other day and helped me pack up most of the things that I don't need, so they can take it home with them. They took me and my boyfriend out for a meal and a bit of food shopping. Well, I might as well make the most out of them while they're here haha! It was nice seeing them all get along and chat a little. We then rushed around Asda grabbing things I needed; it was like we were on Supermarket Sweep (definitely should do our shopping like that more often - it was so much fun). After all that, it was time to pack the car and say bye bye for now.

With this new found space, I decided to use my newly, clear desk and finish the drawing I started at the weekend. It felt good, almost like being back at the studios. Ok, so it was nothing like that, but it was better than me scrunched up working on my bed. I have loads of space now that my massive printer and numerous bottles of paint and my sculpture have gone. Yay! I'm hoping this will help me be able to get into my sketchbook work and blogging properly. It'll probably be a slow start, just fingers crossed I get it sorted before I go home. It also means I get to sit and get distracted by looking out of my window at the wonderful dreary weather we’re having, what fun!
