No problem :) We met a while ago in Tokyo Otaku. Thanks for signing the comics I bought :D It was interesting watching you draw. I've started trying to use blue line work for the initial sketches... but only in Photoshop with a tablet as I haven't got hold of any blue pencils yet lol

Yeah, I remember. No probs on signing the comics and I'm glad you dug my attempts at drawing.

Don't worry about only doing blue line in Photoshop either, as long as you're using it to work out the form and structures of what you're doing then you'll get better results every time.

Thanks anyway...

The trick is to not get discouraged. If you put the effort in and get your name and work around your profile will increase.

But do you really thing an illustration course won't work?
What's the point in people giving illustration courses if it doesn't help? I can always do courses and classes outside of Sixth Form.

No no, I'm saying (and keep in mind this is only my opinion based from experience) that academic illustration course haven't been particulary useful. A pratical or hands on course like an Art Foundation, Btec National Diploma or a HND do teach various skills. I fact you can do an Art Foundation straight after alevels to prepare you for uni or employment.

Quite a few of my friends trained on art foundations or studied a btec like me and most agreed they were more useful than a GCSE or A Level in art. I hope this makes things clear and doesn't put you off either illustration or education.

My GCSE art teacher was good but a pain in the ass. He reckons I should be getting an A. Art this year was quite boring to say the least. He kept rabbiting on about annotation, and as important as that is to my final grade, it was frigging annoying after a while. Also, I wouldn't mind doing a more hands-on course. I wanna take some life drawing classes and stuff too. It'll be cool ^.^~

Thanks for your help and I hope to see you at JCC in October :3. I'll be dressed as Kurenai from Naruto, most probably. Would you like me to bring some work along?
