Finished self portrait last night.
Not perfect but that's okay. I'm feeling alot more confident to try things out and see what is working for me. My mum said I put too much pressure on myself because I know I'm capable. Which made alot of sense to me. Everyone has doubts about their abilities but just because something isn't working or going the way I want it to I'm not going to let it overpower my confidence and doubt my abilities as an illustrator because I CAN do it and the only way you'll learn is to try and allow yourself to make mistakes.
I tell you this new mindset is helping me alot!
As I was on the bus home today I was listening to my ipod to the same song on repeat
Oh land - White nights
which gave me the idea to illustrate songs. I did it once for a college project and loved it so I'm going to start doing it again and do projects that I want to :)

My Hugh is ill atm :/ Popped in to see him today and appears to have everything - chesty cough, choked up, shivery and was mega hot with a fever. Poor thing. I did go round to tescos to get him things to help him get better so lots of rest should help things.
