Which actually, I made some progression with last week. There was a post online for an apprentice in a studio in Southmead. Which, for anyone out there who doesn't know, it's an area of Bristol. The studio is about 20mins or so away from the house. So, I phoned and asked when I should pop up. the dude on the other end of the phone said I could go that day! Which I thought sounded good. So I hopped in the shower, got ready, gathered my sketch books and hit the road. It wasn't a very nice day to be walking anywhere, the rain was terrible, it was made a bit worse when I got a little bit lost! Stupid online map!
Anyway, I got there in one piece. I was shown outside to the studio where they guys tattoo, it's a bit of a funny lay out but it seemed pretty cool. Here, they asked a few questions about my art education, why I wanted to be a tattooist, that kind of thing. The answers I gave I think where ok, but everyone always walks out of interviews wishing they had answered differently, don't they?
I can not explain how nervous I was! It was pretty intense to say the least, I could hardly hold the pencil! I had been informed that in some tattooists they will get the new apprentice to draw for them, as a way of figuring out what kind of standard they are at in their drawing. This isn't totally uncommon, but difficult to draw properly when the pencil is shaking because you can't quite control your hand! I was asked to draw a rose and then a skull. Both of these I have draw many times, just check the drawings that I have posted! The rose wasn't too bad from what I remember, but the skull! Oh! The skull! :( if I don't get the apprenticeship, I'm going to put it down to the skull! It could have been sooooooooooo much better. I did tell them I was nervous but I doubt that will have saved me any embarrassment. But I would like to point out that the reason I was so super nervous is because I want this so badly! There was a bit more chat and then they said they had other people to interview for the job and that they would let me know next week, meaning this week! I think I could have been better so I'm not pinning all my hopes on this one. But when I know, you'll know.
After all that! Here is what I have been drawing lately......................
Most sacred hearts are always drawn with a regular <3 but for this drawing, I had the idea to incorperate and anatomical heart.
This one is my fiance's favourite. It's a image that I have drawn a lot of times, but I am taking more time with what I draw now. And I think this has helped my drawing get better. Everyone is always telling me to be patient.
This drawing is kind of unfinished but I quite like it so I decided to post it anyways! Hehe!
For my last picture it's normally something funny or silly. But this time around, I have two photos........
Found in a shop in Belast that specialises in all kinds of religious statues and ornaments. I had to get a pic of this :)
These two beautiful moths where found at the front of my parents house..................
This photo helps to show the size of the moths, they where big! But oh so beautiful! They stayed there, getting funky for about 17hours. Nature is pretty cool, I think so anyway! :)
