catherine sketches: My personal project #30daysofbackgrounds

http://catherinesketches.blogspot.com/2015/10/my-personal-project-30daysofbackgrounds.html

Friday, 9 October 2015. My personal project #30daysofbackgrounds. Following the footsteps of many illustrators, I've decided to find a project I could work on for 30 days. I know my backgrounds and scenes are one of my weaker points when illustrating, so I thought that making that the focus for my project would help improve it. As they say, deliberate practice is the way to improve. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do what you love. Great big stitched postcard swap. Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search.

catherine sketches: Repurposing old work

http://catherinesketches.blogspot.com/2016/03/repurposing-old-work.html

Monday, 21 March 2016. This year I'm enrolled on Carla Sonheim's Y is for Yellow class. We are to think about a potential series to work on for the time being. So I dug out my old uni work, and I've just been playing around with an idea. A quick update on the bullet journal: I'm still using it (yay! And thanks to it, we now have meal plans for 4 weeks, with ingredients and shopping lists. I've also booked my first driving lesson (only took me 11 years to take the plunge!

catherine sketches: Bullet Journal, first few days

http://catherinesketches.blogspot.com/2016/02/bullet-journal-first-few-days.html

Monday, 22 February 2016. Bullet Journal, first few days. I've always loved the idea of being organised and using a diary/journal diligently, but within a week or so, I usually give up and end up being a lot less productive and a lot more frazzled than I'd like. Being productive without any kind of schedule is proving to be pretty impossible, especially with young children, so I needed somewhere to write down everything I want to achieve, at home and steps towards building my illustration portfolio.

catherine sketches: January 2015

http://catherinesketches.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, 25 January 2015. It's been a while! I've been busy producing another baby girl - who is just so cute (not biased at all here). And I've enrolled in another "make art that sells bootcamp" by Lilla Rogers, as I enjoyed it so much last year. So January has been pretty packed between trying to draw and giving birth. But all in all I'm happy I actually finished a design, as I tend to start things off and never quite get them done! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Do what you love. Make art that sells.

Friday, 22 January 2016. And some New Year goals. Wow, I haven't blogged in a long time! First of all Happy New Year! For the time being I'm still not allowed to work from home (but I've seen the tenancy laws have finally changed so if we move it should hopefully no longer be an issue! But I'm not letting that stop me from improving my portfolio, art practice and branding. So those are my creative goals for 2016, and hopefully I'll be able to share some updates regularly. I wish you a very creative year!

Monday, 27 January 2014. Lilla Rogers Assignment Bootcamp. After yet another long break in blogging (sorry about that) and in general art making, I've taken the plunge and have joined Lilla Rogers's "Assignment Bootcamp". It starts at the beginning of February, and for 6 months I'll be given 5 projects to get my creative juices flowing, and hopefully some great pieces to put in my portfolio.

Monday, 24 March 2014. Jelly Fabric - March Assignment. It's already been another month on the e-course I'm taking! Between the week we got our theme and the week we found out we were to design for fabric, I tried my hand at gelatine printing, so I used some offcuts to make this pattern. I just love these colours, don't you? This one is a basic half drop repeat. As there was only 3 icons, I really wanted to try incorporating more imagery, but that's easier said than done! Make art that sells. I've spent ...
