Hello from Northern Ireland!

eriberart

Hi everyone!
I'm new to these forums, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Erin, I live in Northern Ireland. I've a degree in Illustration and graduated in 2017 from Falmouth University in the UK. Since then, while I've picked up a couple commercial jobs here and there, I've fallen into the routine of the full time (non-art related) day job and tired evenings where curling up on the sofa and watching tv is very appealing... I feel like I'm less creative than ever. I am drawing for the sake of drawing something, and I'm finding that the pieces I'm creating lately are boring and don't have much of a story behind them.
I miss being surrounded by other illustrators and all the critique and feedback and encouragement I had while completing my degree. I'm hoping that by joining these forums I will feel encouraged again and connect with other illustrators, while also having some accountability for any challenges I take on.
Anyway I'll stop rambling, my website is here, and my Twitter and Instagram socials are also @eriberart. I'm excited to get to know everyone.

Welcome to the forums Erin!

Welcome to the forums! This is an excellent place to hang out (it has certainly filled the need for a local illustrator's group for me).
