Ephemeral

Hello all! I recently finished a new illustration which I have been meaning to finish for the longest time, but uni has just gotten in the way of everything. But in this one week I have had free from uni, I have managed to accomplish more for myself then the 13-14 weeks of constant stress I've had. I just really needed this week, although it isn't all that long of a time, it is long enough for me to recover and get ready for next week, where I'll be starting my 3 week intensive packaging course.
Anyway, this is the finished illustration.


Stevie Nicks

Seeing as I have had the time, I have also begun another portrait which is of Boudicca, who is one of my la femme heroes. I have been waiting for ages to find the time to actually start this portrait. I think I will not have it finished by the end of the week, but I will definitely finish it during the mid-year break. I become really invested in my illustrations, as I take the time to research the subject matter and become interested in the history and other factors surrounding the topic I've decided to illustrate around. It is just in its first early stages but I hope I will be able to translate the final image I have in my mind onto the paper.



That is all for now, I shall leave you all with a song I have been coveting at the moment by one of my all-time favourites, Marina and the Diamonds.

Hello again, ❦

I have been once again pressed for time due to uni, it's quite stressful as I expected and seeing as it's third year I'm pushing myself further because I want to graduate and get my degree! One little piece of paper can mean so much and is so badly strived for, it's pretty crazy! I am now at the beginning of my two week break from uni, which wont really be so much of a break as I'll be studying and catching up on unfinished work!

I'm working on a Stevie Nicks quick drawing at the moment just for fun, I started it last week but uni work got so out of hand that I had to prioritise my life. It got bad at one stage but I managed to get all my work done so I am really happy and relieved. I have one more week left before mid semester break, so I'll be updating as much as I can! As you can see I still have a long way to go before I complete it!

Stevie Nicks is definitely one of my biggest inspirations, alongside Debbie Harry. Both of these women are so creative and just do their own thing, I love that.

That's all I have for now, more updates throughout out the next week. I'll finish my illustrations and post them up here. :) Bye all. ♥ Blondie - Shayla
