Drawing and Illustration Class - Week 5











Re-Vamp Living Room

I have kind of changed my decor taste in the last year or so, I used to love everything vintage and granny chic whereas now I like more of a rustic wood, white and lots of plants look with more mid century furniture. Here is the link to how my living room used to look.
My living room especially was pretty granny chic. I started by changing the sofa, although I loved my old sofa it actually wasn't massively comfortable to sit on, more of a waiting room settee. We changed it out for a more plain grey sofa, that has a little bit of a mid century shape and is super comfy. I also changed the rug for a more hessian one, painted the mantle place white, changed the chair for this awesome peacock chair I got at a car boot for £15. I also changed the tv stand for these great crates I got off a local green grocer for £5 each and changed the lamp shades for more wicker style ones. Oh, and more plants of course. 

I totally love this room now, it has a very chilled out style, it's bright during the day and cosy in the evening. I'll see how long I keep it like this before I change it again.

Drawing and Illustration Class - Week 4

This weeks drawing challenge was more about finding our own style. We did this by designing a 1st and 2nd class stamp that celebrates Yorkshire Day, preferably associated with food. 
We had to pick out illustrators that inspire us, I picked out a few, but picked Louise Lockharts style to try and recreate. 
I used a stencilling and sponge technique to do this. 
I pretty happy with the outcome. 
I did the 2nd class stamp at home for homework but wasn't has happy with it as the first one.
For next week we have to research a magazine that is food related to bring in for next weeks class.
