I attended Cake and Doodle again it has been awhile since I last went.
This weeks theme was Oliver Twist, I didn't really get much doodling done but I went with a friend of mine who is studying illustration at Salford university, he was previously studying animation but switched courses.
The great thing about Cake and Doodle is that it is every week, each week there's a new theme and they feature a different artist every week. They often share the work produced on facebook and twitter if you choose to tag them in your drawings. The themes are something new since they weren't doing it the last time I went, you can work to the themes, do your own thing or use the time to continue with something you are working on.
It's also a good place to get feedback on your work, since I was struggling to get replies from the clients and artists I contacted I used this as an opportunity to get some group feedback on my portfolio. This will be detailed in another post.
This week I swapped facebook details with a few of the artists so if you are trying to make contacts within the industry it is a good thing to take part in every once in awhile. I plan on attending more frequently after I finish university.
