Further Deep
A few photos from a damn-fine weekend for weather in London; the sun was out and everything was looking all kinds of good.

London - 3 Days Deep
So London's a pretty cool place - everything here's fresh to me so there's a whole load of exciting things I need to get up to while I'm here.
I did some sight-seeing yesterday but the weather was a bit crap which put a dampener on things. Here's a few photos I managed to get.
P.S. I suck ass at photography and post-editing, as you will probably notice from the shots.

Sketch Dump
It's another chilly day in Edinburgh - wintery conditions in April are just strange! So I figured it would be a good time to share a few bits and pieces with anyone reading this.
I decided to start this blog as a means of sharing my progress in hopefully forging a career of some sort in Digital Art; I'm a student at Stevenson College in Edinburgh, currently in my first year of the HND course Computer Arts and Design. Technically, this is my second year there, as I had to get through an entry-level year just to get onto it, but it's been good, clean fun so I'm a happy bunny.
As well as showing what I've been getting up to and learning, I hope to use this blog as a means of networking with other creatives. So don't be shy, I like getting messages and it'd be good to hear your feedback on what I'm doing.
For obvious reasons, I can't really go posting all the work I produce during this time, but every now and then I'll try and get a few loose sketches or finished personal pieces up here.
My original interests in Digital Art had me playing around with abstracts, which still interest me but has had to take a bit of a backseat to allow for studies. Lately I've been incorporating concept artists' techniques into my work, mainly to discover ways of speeding up workflow. The Sparth technique has been my inspiration over the past week or two - it's ace! If you'd like to know more of it, here's the link to his original thread so you can have a look at the process involved: Sparth's thread at ConceptArt.org
So yeah, learning this process in conjunction with getting the hang of all the fundamentals has been a huge help to my own artwork and is causing me to give some consideration to game/movie concept art as a possible career choice. But you know, these are early days yet, so who knows?
Tomorrow I'm off to London for a week or so to do a bit of a sightseeing. If anyone has any recommendations of things I could get up to while I'm down there, let me know. I've never been before, so it's all-new territory for me - happy days!
Here are a few pieces I've been working on lately:
