I think that my university course has been amazing so far.
We’ve focused more on illustration fundamentals, in order to get a solid knowledge base.
It’s all quite new to me, and I’m still a bit confused as to what is what, but finished work keeps stacking up and I’m slowly but surely building up a portfolio while experimenting with new ideas and techniques.
One of our main tutors, Liam is doing a fantastic job at guiding and encouraging us, and he is also and AMAZING artist and print pro (I’m not only saying this because he’s meant to read and grade me on this blog btw), he is actually an inspiration, as I’ve wanted to do screen printing for a while now, due mainly to my interest in pop art.
I feel like I’m learning everyday, even when I’m at home, thinking about briefs, or out on the street observing people and things in a different way than what I was used to.
And things are only going to get better by the looks of it, and me and my comrades are going to improve a lot during the next couple of years. Looking at 2nd or 3rd year illustration students, I am amazed at the quality of the work that they produce, under the guidance of our talented tutors.
Hats off to you guys!
