Skeffins Sketchbook

Illustration-wise, that little eco-awareness piece in the middle is really cool [but sho shmall] and what I'd expect to see in commercial illustration. Was it for anything? And assignment or job? I don't use instaspam all that much.

It's shmall to hide the super gnarly uncleaned edges . It was just for some #slactivism Instagram prompt for saveourplanetweek where we draw thought provoking pictures about  the state of our planet,  on our electricity sucking laptops that were made in China, spewed out harmful waste products, and flown by plane to our doors.

Also ahahaahahah i wish I worked on the art industry or had an illustration job ;___; but I've been signed up to linkedin notifications for them for a while and holy shit it's depressing how little is available in the UK, and when one does finally pop up it pays like fuck all, and /or sounds like the most boring dull shit you could spend your time drawing. Conceptart seems more viable at least (relatively). And Freelance lacks too much job security for my liking. 

So I find instagram useful as a drive for improvement, plus you can save other people's posts to different categories meaning I have a whole host of stuff like "nice colours " , "paintings at different times of day ", "examples of good composition " which would be useful once I finally dig them out to do studies on. Its good if you only follow stuff you want to see.
