I said in my last post that I'd make more sketches and put them here. So here's me, attempting to do so. This place is going to be mostly sketches, so be warned.

I went to stay with Tessa in December. During that time she was looking for books on Chinese watercolour painting for her mother. I... somehow got obsessed with it. I bought a book a few days ago on painting specific motifs. Here are my results.

I'm still alive... barely.

September and October were really busy months and I have't really got much to show for it. I've just finished exams for the year and am moving onto work placements in summer.
I finally bought a new sketchbook (I didn't have one for about six months, which was kind of sad) and hopefully will be drawing more over summer.
I'm hoping to update this place a little more in the coming months, it's going to be more of a sketchbook rather than a place for completed works, because truthfully I don't get to finish a lot of things anymore.

To do list
-Albeitera logo
-Albeitera 4th year profiles
-GAX for DT666
-FAX (yes I joined)
-Gift art x1

Where did August go?
I barely get time for arts, now that I'm rostered into rotations at the clinic and hospital.
BUT - I made some complete pieces since July holidays - yay!




( Coloured pencils galore )

So, second semester of third year is about to begin. Today I got my white coat, marking the day when my learning experience changes from theory and lecture work to clinical practice.
For the past month I've been working at Colac and Bacchus Marsh veterinary clinics, and I think I have come quite far in just four weeks. I also think I'll be starting up a blog about my veterinary experiences soon, I just have to work out how I'm going to pop up my previous diary entries up without flooding the place.

So here is another art dump of the stuff I did last semester. It's mostly digital work for/from uni.

Gah.

Woot, go 9 exams for 4 subjects!

-Monday 26th May: Equine practical exam; Pathology quiz 2 (Nervous and respiratory systems) Maybe if I ignore it long enough, it will go away.
-Thursday 29th May: Bovine practical exam
-Tuesday 10th June AM:-Body Sytems 1 written exam OMFG. :'(
-Thursday 12th June PM:-Body Sytems 2 written exam
-Friday 13th June PM:-BS1 and BS2 combined practical exam Pictures and specimens are nice. Except when I splatter bladder and prostatic juice on myself.
-Monday 16th June PM:-Clinical Medicine & Surgery written exam I think the radiologists got pissy after they found out we thought their lectures sucked... and decided to have some revenge. Touche.
-Wednesday 18th June PM:-Animal Health and Management 3 written exam
-Thursday 19th June PM:-Body Systems 2 oral exam
-Friday 20th June PM:-Clinical Medicine & Surgery oral exam

And at some point, assignment VPH5 is due.

After that,
2 weeks dairy practice at Colac
1 week mixed practice at Bacchus Marsh
White Coat Ceremony!

Then semester 2 of third year begins.

Gah. Apologies for impending insanity.

Look! Actual arts!

( Colours! )

I should be focusing on studying respiratory radiology. Because I slept through all six lectures.
I'm not exaggerating.
But it's so damn frustrating. My brain simply cannot focus on lists and lists of things, or spatial concepts being described verbally. Why describe something in five sentences of directions when you could just have one, maybe two pictures? BAH.

So here are some ahrts.

( The past few GAX's in here. )

Now, back to stabbing things in frustration.

Will be posting catch up stuff for a while - I don't get a lot done these days anyhow.

I am no longer taking conmissions - indefinitely. Frankly, it just stopped being fun, I don't have the time, and I don't have the energy to create when I am not in the mood for it. :(



( Way back in December... )

It's been a while, I know.

Uni is... rather demanding at the moment. Couple that with the realisation that hey, I only have a year and a half left to become a competent surgeon, dentist, radiologst, anaesthetist, pathologist, animal handler, obstetrician, nutritional expert, parasitologist/microbiologist, counseller, killer, behaviourist, neurologist, haematologist, financial manager.. AND be able to deal with people.... oh crap.

I am apologising to those whom I have yet to send out art, thank for making me art, people who were going to commission me and never got a reply, and anyone at all I've caused an inconvenience to these past few months.

A lot of things fell to the side, including my online presence as an artist, among other things.

I'm sorry.
