This is a sketch I did yesterday when I was supposed to be revising.

I didn't really plan it out it kinda just happened. Started off with the 'devil' guy on the left and then realised that he couldn't be free standing from his pose so instead of putting a wall at his back I drew an ickle 'angel' boy.

I don't really know what to do with it. I might CG. WE'll see, eh?

Yeah, the sketch has some character to it. People should definetly draw more angel boys with rocket boots! Yeah, why not add a little colour to it if you have time, but I suppose you could leave it on hold 'till exam hell is over *lol*

What are you studying by the way?

I'm doing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Love the design aspect - hate the maths. I'm at the Uni of Birmingham by the way.

Anyone at the Uni of Kent?

There's a University of Kent? Well I have a few friends that go to Mid-Kent College, does that count? I was thinking about going to Uni or College again this year, but like last year it looks as though I've ran out of time to apply. I still don't know what I want to study and if I can be bothered to take out a loan to learn stuff I either don't want to, or already know *shrugs*
What you planning on doing after you've finished Uni?

During A-Levels (two years back) I met a friend who got me into drama and acting and all that. Right near the end of my A-levels I was (and still am) interested in becoming a director. So, I think I might go to film-school after UNI. Depends on the money situation. If I don't go to film school I'm gonna work as an Engineer (assuming I get a gd degree)for two years and then set up my own company. At least that's the plan.

How about you, Bomu? What you up to? Apart from wasting your time with frivolous art

University of Kent is the one at Canterbury Bomu, some of my friends go there. I had my interview for Bournemouth yesterday so I'm in the horrible waiting period now.

That's a pretty nice sketch, the legs of the guy on the left look a little too large for the body but apart from that I like it.

AKATT, Good luck with it! Or whatever you chose to do after Uni. Without boring you too much, I'll try to sum it up... I bet I fail and sorry for going off topic from your original post!..

I'm really not up to much at this moment. I'm trying hard to look for a full time job but it seems I don't have enough skill and experience, so it's a nightmare. I dunno about the rest of the world, but getting good work in the SE of England is really hard if you're after a graphic, web or illustration job. I must have written off to a hundred companies, and although I've received some postive feedback, noone's willing to employ me *sad violins begin to play*
In the mean time I've been working on the side as a freelance artist. But it's too stressful. You have to waste a lot of time dealing with clients before hand and then when it comes to asking about the pay, most can't afford my rates and back out at the last minute! If these companies went to a pro, they would still have to pay a lot more than what I charge and might not receive the half the quality I'd be willing to offer Several clients have been been pissing me off recently and it gets me down, but I'll shut up now
If you've got any ideas on finding a job, I'd love to hear 'em! Every careers advisor I've ever spoken to, just tell me to give up finding work in the art industry unless you wanna persue a carreer in boring, corporate, bullshit presentation projects *lol* not in those words of course


slumdog, Glad someone's on the ball. What do they do in Bournemouth? Is it a digital art course or something? I remember considering applying, but they're prospectus sounded week. But you might be doing something totally different?

Yeah Slumdog I'ma bit lazy when I get to legs/feet. When i sketch without planning I usually draw till I get bored and usually the legs suffer. I find drawing feet really difficult so you may notice most my pics don't have legs.

No ideas for jobs Bomu especially where u are near Kent but maybe you could do an Open University course. That way you can work & get a qualification. They do part time courses and you only have to go to London for the exams - if you can handle them
