So this is my first Journal entry.
To start with, I'll tell you guys about what I've been up to lately..

I've been planning and drafting an entry for an art contest going on where I live. It has to have a certain theme, which is proving to be rather difficult but so far I have thought up some pretty good ideas, even if I do say so myself.

Yesterday I began learning (and possibly failing) to do vectors. I found a good tutorial on vector art here..[link] I gave up after the first few steps and went solo. You can find the W.I.P in my gallery.

I tidied my bedroom, it looks tidy now. I can actually see the carpet! It took a few hours and numerous arguments with my little sister, but I finally got it done.

After a year of trekking up and down six sets of stairs, lots of homework and P.E in the cold, school is finally out for me. Seven and a half weeks of no homework, hopefully sunshine and sleeping late! This summer should be pretty cool. There's quite a lot of things I'm hoping to get done..

I'm going on holiday, with my parents, my sister and my grandparents, in a few weeks. We're staying in a nice place and there's lots of things to do there, so it should be great.

There's a number of books I'd like to read over the summer. Including Angel by Katie Price and maybe Beautiful Child by Torey Hayden.

And most of all, I want to improve and develop my art. Recently I've tried vectors, speed painting and photo-manipulation. Any suggestions of things to draw or styles to try are greatly appreciated.

So that's my first journal entry. Kudos if you actually read any of it! Have a nice summer.
