Attempted Squirrel Walkcycle

In short....I am so rusty!!! Am I completely sure this is where my heart lies? So I learned a lot about a new piece of software I tried out, but I realised perhaps this summer I have a lot to learn.....once I've conquered that essay ...sigh

Squirrel Drawing

Squirrels, squirrel everywhere ....

Nothing is making me feel more ill than the thought of the looming essay I have to write, I spend so much time thinking about why I do the artwork I do, its grown into a one woman existensial crisis.
Who am I?
Why am I so infactuated with drawing pictures of cake! why do I watch so much baking on television?  How do I contextualise the notion of britishness, mary berry and excessive food shows on tv?

Food to me, is such a huge part of the human psyche we eat to live, its no surprise that its the one thing any two people can have in common. I started to think if my aim this term is to make a baking video for youtube, what would be my brand , my logo, what one animal , epitamisies that britishness, that bake off, spun onto the masses......avert your eyes ..if you blush easily XD

It helps that the humble squirrel is also my favourite animal, what's not to love about these mischevious tree dwellers?

Baking with Children, there's a reason, Mary Berry doesn't bake with children.

Tilly and Teddy were with us for the whole day, so I whipped out the camera, and tried to make cupcakes to keep them entertained (stress levels rising)

Few lessons learnt, gees I'm heavy handed with food colouring. Children in pyjamas, plus baking, might as well of given them pure sugar and nerf guns.
