Aspirational Goals - BAIL104

When thinking about what I would like to do in the future, I am unsure. I know that I would like to stay in South Devon, surrounded by my family & friends, and to live in the countryside. I also know that in terms of a career I would like to do something creative, but when thinking about what particular sector of illustration that I would like to specialise in I am undecided.

I know that I have a natural interest in children's books illustrations, book covers, editorial & perhaps gift ware, but as I don't have a clear illustrative style, I'm unsure to what area would suit me best, but I'm sure that this decision will come naturally as I develop my skills over my degree. On the other hand, I know that I am less likely to work on comics or concept art, as I have found that I don't have a natural interest in these areas.

I am very much interested in creating detailed, cute, and realistic illustrations with loads of texture. I also have a love for nature, so perhaps I will end up focusing on animals and plants in the future? I also love combining materials, including collage, watercolour, ink and pencil, and then finalising my illustrations digitally on Photoshop. These likes/dislikes are likely to change as I learn more about myself as an illustrator on my degree, so although I don't know exactly what I want to do in the future, I have a idea on what areas I am likely to work towards.

I would also like to build up my following on social media, so that I could run my own online shop alongside my commissions. In addition to illustration, I would like to have a go at glass and ceramics, as its always been something that I've wanted to have a go at - and it could possibly be something that could enrich my products on my online shop.
