Finally here...or there for now?

Well, I got myself to uni, alive and well. And within freshers week(!) we were given our first project...

"Describe 'G' as in Graphic Design."

Yes that's all we got given. So now I have to fill an A3 sheet of what I believe graphic design to be, in the form of G's. Or something along those lines anyway.

So good old wiki came to play, and I spent an hour looking at the history of the letter G (yes it does have a history, a boring one mind) and any graphic terms beggining with the letter. There's not many.

And now I'm sat surrounded with pieces of A4 paper and scribbles of ideas all over them. Talk about testing my brain.

On another note, I did some copic testing using a few of the tutorials I posted last time, and I must say, it didn't turn out half as bad as expected! The tutorial I found helped me most was this one: http://www.mangarevolution.com/tutorial_display.php?tutorial_id=171 which I just realised I never originally posted...oops! But there it is anyway. Mine doesn't look much like that, I simplified it an AWFUL lot for my first attempt, therefore it turned out very...basic looking. Ahh well. Practice practice.

Now I best get back to my G's. Next update shall be with my next project no doubt!
