oh, Daphne

Today was a long, long day spent in the hospital. From 9.00 am until midnight. I am still up as I have drank many energy drinks throughout the day. Tomorrow me & my boyfriend are going to a lovely hotel for a night, so I am very excited as it looks really posh. Whilst I was sat today in between trying my hardest to get a good score on Temple Run (ahhh it's so addictive!) I managed to sketch some more drawings of the beautiful Daphne Groeneveld. I just love her face so much. I might do some digital images of her soon and work on colour in Photoshop.

I need to work on it + add some more shading. 
Not really loving many of the LFW collections so far. Maybe some will catch my eye soon.
Also I am really addicted to the Wildfox photo shoots collections. They just scream summer which makes me feel happy. The sun was out today and even though the heat wasn't with it, it was still lovely.

model inspiration

today i managed to brave it out in the snow & made it to some shops to get art supplies. i did actually have to go out for something important - i'm not just a crazy person who likes to risk traveling in the snow for just pencils and paper! anyway, i have been busy sketching so hopefully i will have lots of pretty illustrations to put up on my website soon.


 my main inspiration like i said in my last post is models. i just find their faces so interesting to draw and have been visiting various model tumblrs etc and trawling through a vast amount of images to find ones i want to draw. i thought i would post a selection of my favourite. i'm also thinking of illustrating some of my favourite garments from upcoming collections and different trends.

hii,

me & Marcus went to Whitstable with his parents yesterday. it was so so lovely. the weather was absolutely amazing, so we just sat on the decking of his beach hut & had good scampi & chips, & also some yummy strawberries. we paddled in the sea for a bit, but Marcus is a chicken & wouldn't go any further. there was a nice couple in the next hut. i've never met them before, but they had two adorable sons & a cute little dog. the woman is an artist & when we got talking she mentioned some of her best friends are starting a magazine called Arthur & Albert. it's going to be free, & she told me to look on the website, & if i like it, she could put me in touch with them. that would be really awesome, so i will take her up on it. i wore my bright pink lipstick yesterday & got a few nice comments, which is really sweet. i went for a kinda 80s beach look. i like changing my lipstick sometimes to the bright pink, but i prefer to wear not much eye make-up when i have a strong colour on the lips. i do ♥ my light dolly pink though.




















i have started to get on with a bit of my uni work. i am so putting off the dissertation stuff, but i know i shouldn't. i drew lots of little things in my sketchbook. i still don't know whether i am doing it correct, but they did just tell us to draw anything and everything which inspires us, sooo... my book is so scrappy, but i love it. a lot of the pages are falling out, so i will have to do something with that, cause i don't want to lose work obv! i keep sketching stuff but i'm not happy with it. i get so frustrated. Marcus has gone to band practice, & his room was driving me nuts, so i tidied a bit. i really cannot believe how many clothes that boy has. it is insane.









a good picture showing his piles of clothes in his room, & this is only a little bit! it makes me feel better when i tidy. i find it quite therapeutic sometimes ha. bet my mum wouldn't believe me!




camping on Saturday was awesome! lots of puking, ketchup, lolz, drinking & general fun times! we started off @ Asda, got our food & drink, then went to Pluckley. it didn't seem that scary at all. after we had all settled down & got our tents up, the police arrived. they were very pleasant, & just basically said we couldn't camp there, which is fair enough. apparently, as usual, previous people had ruined it for everyone by graffiti-ing and just being nobs. we then didn't know what to do & some people were on about going deeper into the woods & hiding our cars in the town then walking back. if that was going to happen i would have gone home, as i had work in the morning, + we would have been on edge all night incase the police came back. anyway, one girl suggested going to a lake where her dad works. this was in Sittingbourne, which was another 40+ minutes drive away, but we decided to go for it as we had our camping/party heads on. it turned out to be really good. we couldn't have a fire, but i think that worked out well, cause i would have smelt gross in the morning for work. we all got settled again, & then just got completely smashed. i managed to drink some Jagermeister, and 1 & a bit bottles of rose wine, after i had said & promised to myself to not drink much due to work. i never listen. i was wasted. it was awesome though, that which i can remember, & we just all had lots of fun. i think we are going to do it again before the summer is over. i ♥ just hanging out with good people & having lots of fun. i don't have any pictures as it got dark by the time we got to the lake & stupid iPhone's don't have any light for the camera. silly.

right, i am going to go & get on with some more work.

when i went back home, i looked through drawers under my bed & found loads of sketchbooks from uni & college, when i did fashion design. i love putting together sketchbooks & i loved finding these. i keep them all cause it's nice to look back through old work & get inspiration + they also took me a long time to do so i'm not just going to throw them out! ha.

i'm so stressed out at the moment. i will write about it all soon. to keep my mind off it, i am looking at pretty pictures & cute baby animals. hopefully if Marcus doesn't get back from recording too late, then we are going to go out. i need to get drunk & have some fun!

oh & i am so happy about the World Cup result. well done Spain!
