I have been looking into more university progression options such as Illustration at Sheffield Hallam. I hadn't really thought about going to any other universities before since I wanted to stay at home. Lincoln university isn't too far and they have more specific courses in Illustration since the Sheffield Hallam one is Graphic Design which you then tailor to your needs.

Lincoln is definitely an option and I will look at applying here, it is within commutable distance and the entrance fees are reasonable. They have a wider selection of Illustration courses.

Further universities such as Teeside and Demontfort could be an option however it does feel a little bit too far to travel and I doubt I would get the opportunity to visit them before applying.

LIFE DRAWING

This is my favourite drawing from the second week of life drawing, using a wooden stick and black and blue ink as the media I was able to create these images. Although I dislike life drawing I am proud of some of my work, whereas others I am not proud of.

I used white chalk, charcoal and a brown pastel and this week I focused more on tone, shading and light rather than just creating the shapes. Focusing on specific sections such as the torso or legs I could use the short periods of time much more efficiently and detail sections of the models body rather than having a half-finished sketch.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: DUET

Improvements

Could have been on a lighter background to make the transparent bird stand out better
Could have been traditional
Could have added more musical influence

It does fit the breif of the illustration (duet of birds singing)
