I am very aware that it is not mothers day, but what I wasn't aware of is that it has taken me over a month to realise that this never actually posted (let's pretend it did). Usually, for mother’s day I make a  painted card but this year I have left my paints in uni, therefore, decided to do a digital illustration of some tulips inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. As this was quite quick to illustrate I’ve changed the colours around a bit as a trial, using colour switch to see the possibilities of colour themes that work best but personally still leaning towards the pink/red.  (Should also explain that Sul y mamau Hapus= Happy Mother’s Day in Welsh)

This post is a little different to the others because there’s no actual illustration attached. Que the back story that wasn’t asked for, but the current situation I have includes a collection of unfinished drawings that I really want to finish and post, but my laptop is currently being fixed and I have stupidly left my illustration pen in uni. Therefore, for now here’s a bit of photography from a time we came across a field of hay bales and cute flowers on a walk near uni. I want to start doing quicker posts for when I have a bit of a creative mind block so maybe there’ll be more of these once I learn to work my camera a little better. Without any further rambling, (for now) please admire the hay. (Please overlook the lowered photo quality from uploading onto here). Photos taken near Heslington, York. 

Here lies a piece of procrastination painting that I've been going back to every once in a while to complete and now that summer is finished, so is this. This digital painting started following being sent a picture of a foil facemask by my sister (if you've already scrolled to the bottom and quickly caught a glimpse at the scary looking sticker below that photo, I will explain that later too), and then I used various pictures of random people on Pinterest to form the face structure underneath the mask. I tried various different backgrounds for this painting including outer space but turns out this portrait didn't want to be an alien, and so instead I present to you a random human on the beach wearing a foil facemask. As the facemask and flower display were doing such a good job at making this person blend in, she is also wearing a jumper because it's September, therefore, colder and this is all of course very realistic...
