The Big Update Part 1: College Progress Report


Oh, hello!

I have indeed been a busy pickle.

Here is a graph that shows what I've been doing for the last month:


I've decided to cut into my sleep time to bring you this big 3 part blog post, because who needs sleep when you can coffee!


So let me show you what I've been up to at College. I have been doing lots of drawings! 



Zombies for a Campaign to get teenagers to live without mobile technology.
Quick messy drawings scanned into photohop.

These crazy characters are for an alternative comedy channel website!


Making a desktop background based on the word "soft".
I had major troubles with the scanner when making this, so it's not quite how I want it to look.

Learned how to make gifs! Woooooo! Gifs!
Here are my first ever slightly clunky gifs:


I've done a bunch of other stuff as well, but drawing is my favourite!


Now look, I know that these may not seem very swish or impressive, but I think for a baby graphic designer such as myself, it's not a bad effort. 

My portfolio will be far more impressive once I have finished the course obviously, I just thought you might want to see my progress! 

Also I completed a project over the weekend which is in fact VERY swish and impressive (if I do say so myself) but I am going to dedicate a whole blog post to that assignment. 


Did you know that this course is only 3 months long? I will be graduating in December! 
How crazy is that!? 

I am at school Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm & every minute my brain is being mashed full of crazy new informations. It's awesome. My head is completely exploding, but in a really good way. 

Stay tuned for the big update part 2: The Cartoons.

I think we're all aware it's not fine art.

Sometimes I get all like:
 
"My drawings are weird scribbles. 
They're not aesthetically pleasing all. 
I don't know how to paint or make things pretty. 
I have no technical knowledge of art. 
noone is going to commission me to paint a mural full of scribbles 
(I really want to paint a mural one day).
I cannot make things look realistic. 
People don't look at my drawings and go "Holy shit that's gobsmackingly wonderful!!!"



But hey, what I do is charming in its own scribbly way.




It's Sunday, let's talk.

First of all: Happy birthday to this fine specimen, The wild Kri Kri, commonly known as "Kristina". Scientific name: Karlina

Erin Michelle posted this drawing.
It makes me feel things, I think it's very good.
If you feel things and think it's good also, you are able to buy this from Erin's Etsy shop.


I will be working with the creative genius Kai Smythe on a sweet photo/illustrato combo this week. Can't wait to give this to your eyeballs so that they may see it.

Have you ever wondered "Why Saint Damascus, what does that even MEAN?"
Well, allow me to introduce you to Damascus.

On the topic of kitty cats, here's one that I am needing more of in my life:
It's everybody's favourite sushi-feind Courtenay!
 And here is a quick scribble for your troubles:

 Mucho Loveo, Rebekah

 















Sketchy

Nothing particularly funny or profound has happened to me or my brain lately, so we're just going to have to wait for something hilarious to happen/occur to me. Until then, here's some junk from the trusty ol' sketch book.
