22nd, September; Two Weeks Back And A Bit Of Progress!

Sketchbook Writing session.

22nd, September; Two Weeks Back And A Bit Of Progress!

So, we haven`t been back for too long right now. I`ve only made a small amount of progress right now and I`m getting there with gathering ideas for my final piece already! But, I think the teachers are just a littleeee bit frustrated with me because I want more huge wooden boards to work on again... So yeah, i`m going to make a hugeee mess once again.


The class i`m in is quite big right now there`s 15-20 people in there at one time, so it`s quite noisy at time now and I`m finding it particularly hard to concentrate on what i`m supposed to be doing; I think a lot of us are finding it hard to concentrate on anything at the moment, we all need a good rest... It`s just so loud constantly and with my illness it`s making my head go all over the place and I have to keep on going on quick walks and breaks to get out of there and have some quite.
Hopefully we can sort it out soon and get the rest of the class working as they should be, don`t get me wrong, their work is amazing; But since we`ve been back they haven`t even finished one observational drawing so far and everyone else is trying to move on now.
But hopefully, it can get sorted soon, and then we can all get along once again! ^.^

My own shirt, especially
for getting messy!

It`s also my anniversary soon, on the 24th of September me and David will of been together for a year. We didn`t let anyone know for a while though, so when I gave him his presents early (because I got mine early) everyone seemed very confused at it being our anniversary soon.
It`s really awesome having him in art aswell, It means that I get to spend wayyy more time with him without having to walk home in the middle of the dark late at night. I`m getting to spend more time at home with my mum, sisters and little nephew now because I don`t have to use all of that spare time to see David.
I still stay around at the weekends when I`m work, and yes, I still work at bloody B&M.
But I`ve still got two weeks of work experience planned out in October; for the first week, i`ll be working in a Tattoo shop called Ink Kings which is in Ilkeston so it`s even easier to get too in the morning. working with the Taxidermy artist has been proven difficult due to the amount of time that I don`t have and the amount time he spends working on large projects. Then I`ve been in contact with Shed2Studios In Ilkeston (another local place), I asked for a week there but also said that a few hours a day or just a visit to the studios would also prove to be helpful to me.

The only other thing I need to add is that I`ve started to apply for universities and have my UCAS account sorted out now; I had a problem with logging in, I had all of the information correct, but for some reason I kept on getting locked out of my account because of failed log in attempts... But on their end, it said that I haven`t even logged in; so something was wrong there, but it`s all sorted now so I can carry on with my personal statement work and finding courses!

Not much has been happening lately, I do wish my life was more interesting right now; if it does help, I`ve been watching assassination classroom and Future Diary, so I`ve watched enough for reviewing I think. If you do read the anime reviews and also read this blog too, Just remember to go over to Wattpad (follow the link below), and you can see a ton more of newer and better animes that I`ve reviewed and that are reader to read instantly.
I`ve also hit an amazing 50.5K reads on the review book! It was originally made to help me with my English skills about 3 or 4 years ago, but I kept on writing in it to see what kind of reaction people would have whenever they read them. It`s done really well and It`s still quite surprising that more and more people are still reading it.
I`m a happy likkle Melonhead :3 !

14th, September; Back To sixth Form!

Idiot Sandwiches... 

So it`s Monday, i do apologize for not updating on Friday like I said I would...

So far the teachers have decided that we spend the whole week just doing drawing this week; and if anything, that`s just going to make life even duller than before. So no I`m a little bummed out at the fact that we don`t get to do much for a while, however; I have already finished my observational drawing work and I really want to move on, so just to please the teachers I`m doing little samples of observational drawings that are a bit more detailed than the A2 ones I`ve done so far.
So for now I`m just gong to keep them happy. I`ve also sorted out one of the storage rooms in the new block (all by myself, cause I`m awesome). There`s also a sixth form opening evening coming up that I`m going to be helping out at, since I literally have nothing else to do right now.

So work is going good right no, but someone who I was friends with is now moving all the way to Germany; He`s just finished University and has been (apparently), been a bit down since he`s struggling to find a job... but, It`s not all doom and gloom, He`s been accepted by Ubisoft to work for them over in Germany. He`s been working at the dump for 4 years now and he does seem upset to leave everyone, it`s a big move so I`m not surprised really; I`m happy for him though, to move out there with an awesome job that you`ve wanted for years and have had to train for, for soooo long... It`s kind of given me hope that when I leave university, I can get a decent job and earn all of that money back that I owe to the University.

Some more photoshopping stuff
coming up soon, well...
when I have the time to upload it all...

Everything is good-ish at the moment, my class is a bit distracting though since there are some reallyyyyy, realllyyyy loud girls in there now. It`s just easier to have my headphones on and write in my sketchbook right now, actually making some decent looking work is just hard because of how loud they are right now.

We`ve all decided to give them or a week or so to calm down and settle in; but if it keeps up or gets worse then they`re all going to hate us for getting fed up with them. So it`s basically going to go back to how it was with Beth and Amy at the beginning of last year, which is upsetting really since we`ve just started to get used to them and we all get along quite well now.

But things will settle down soon, I`ve got a lot of University preparation to begin and I`ve almost finished my personal statement and CV now; So I also have almost all of my Unit 10 work finished too! I`m on top of everything and ready to actually get some work done soon!

9th, September; Back To Sixth Form!

So everyone is going back to school,everyones at college,
the year 12`s have gone in...
but the year 13`s get a lie in... :3 yayy

So everyone`s going back to school now, which unfortunately means that I will have to too; It`s been nie having this break, but now I need to start getting some more work done which should be fun.
The way that I act at sixth form is definitely going to change dramatically when I go back, and I don`t think I will be socializing with people in my class since i know what they think of me now... Which is a good thing for the blog, there are going to be plenty of new faces here, new art styles and hopefully a lot more updates about the good times I`m having since I`ve been back.

Right now i`m actually still in bed, I`m trying to get all of my work e-mailed over to my school account; I`ve been working on quite a bit of photoshop practice (if you haven`t seen it already then head over to my art blog, link is down below). In fact, i even know what I`m going to do with all of my photoshopped designs and it should be quite fun.

What are we...
Idiot Sandwiches

I`ve also been thinking about selling my work too; The style of them are a little bit plain but they`re nice. I`m already making three of them for Christmas presents too and if i do decide to sell them then they will be sold with the frames and cost around £15 to £20 each. The only reason that they will cost that much is because; the pens are £10 each! the frames are around about £5 each and then i have to pay for your postage and packaging.
So hopefully, if anyone is interested; then i could start selling some of my framed work for you guys, which will also give me spare money to make more and more better work at a better size and quality for selling.

So i`ve got a lot planned for the time being, even though it may not seem like it... I`m actually quite busy at the moment.
I`ll probably blog on Friday too, because that way i would of had three days to settle back in to sixth form and hopefully something interesting to write about. See you guys then!
