Japanese Architecture - 30 days drawing
Hey! This is the first of the 30 day drawing challenge and will probably be the hardest one since it is difficult to get into, but it is done! I know I said I would post on Tuesday but I have been busy with work. Anyway, here is my first of 30 drawings:
For this page I really felt inspired by Japanese/Asian architecture. I loosely used reference photos from pinterest. I used fine liner pens for the buildings and for the flowers I used gouache. I decided to include the flowers because I felt like the page was looking a little dull and needed some colour. I also feel like they really filled the space nicely. Overall I am happy with this page and I feel like this has been perfect practice for drawing buildings.
Thank you for reading, see you tomorrow.

Summer 2018 Bucket List
Hey! So I am aware that it has been an extremely long time since I have last written a blog post. I have been super busy with GCSEs but now after a 3 week break since my last exam have decided to buckle down and get back into writing these blog posts. I thought to kick it off I would start with my summer bucket list. During my GCSEs I motivated myself by writing myself a bucket list for summer so here it is;
1. Improve my drawing skills.
Next year I am planning on doing A level art and I thought to give myself a head start I would draw lots over summer.
To complete this goal I am planning on doing a 30 day drawing challenge, I also thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to also get back into blogging so starting tomorrow I will be posting a new drawing everyday for 30 days, hopefully this will get myself into the routine of drawing everyday.
2. Get flexible.
This is a bit of a random one but I've always wanted to be super flexible so I thought now would be a good time.
To make this a more of a measurable goal, I will be trying to be doing the splits which will require me to stretch everyday and therefore improve my flexibility.
3. Learn guitar.
I am hugely into music and although I've had phases of learning instruments, I have never learned guitar which is the one instrument I am most enthusiastic about. I have an acoustic guitar so this is totally do-able.
I will teach myself all of the chords and I am going to set myself the goal of being able to play at least 3 songs.
4. Redecorate my garage.
Currently my garage is a huge mess, I would love to have a cool place to hang out with friends and have parties. I also believe that this is a great little project that I will thoroughly enjoy.
I plan to get new furniture from charity shops and spend as little money as possible. I will also post blog post on the transformation.
5. Ride my horse more often.
I believe that this is a goal that I have already completed but once again this goal isn't very measurable, therefore me and my mum have decided to complete a marathon on the horses which will also require quite a bit of training and will also get the horses back into shape.
6. Run a 10k.
My mum happens to love running but personally I'm not a huge fan, but this is something I want to be able to enjoy. I have put myself down for a race in September and I am going to begin training ASAP even though the weather is boiling!
7. Get a job.
I have actually already completed this goal! I got my first job last week and I am super happy! I start Wednesday. I am working in a fish and chip shop (glamorous, I know) but it's a start. I plan to save a third of my savings each week for a car so that's also super exciting!
That's all of my goals and I will keep you updated on how they go. I am starting with drawing for 30 days and I will be starting tomorrow so I'll speak to you then!
Bye!
