Collection of Inspiration added to continuously throughout the year, dedicated to all types of new found practices, approaches and creatives. I have found it extremely valuable to continue to store my emerging likes, dislikes and aspirations as a practitioner.
Note to self: "Don't lose sight of the goal - the end game - my dream of what I consider to be a successful illustrator and who I want to become"
( Successful in industry but also to myself - who do I want to be? What will make me proud? When will I feel I have made it?)

Helpful Tutorials
Whilst always on the hunt for inspiration, feeding my constant need for ideas within my practice, I have begun collecting helpful tutorials covering creative processes I am not so familiar with. To increase my learning within the creative field in the hope of having a go at all that inspires me in my own time, over summer breaks and at some point in the future (as well as when I approach new briefs on this course)
