SO... this is long
By no means do I expect you to watch this whole thing oh my goodness
(Also sorry if I sound a little tired or nervous, I hadn't recorded my voice for a video for a while and my flatmate was on the other side of my very thin wall so I was a little nervous!)
10 years ago I got seriously into drawing more as a dedicated hobby, so I go through my journey from then to now in this video. I start off by looking through key drawings of my character Finch, as I made new references for her almost every year, and compare how her design and my style have evolved. After that I go through my entire 'my characters' folder to see how my art progressed from 2009 all the way through to 2019.

It's a lot of me babbling about my thoughts of my work now and back then, so check it out if you're interested !
Thank you for your support throughout the years. Some of you have been around for a very long time, which is really crazy ! I appreciate you all, if it wasn't for support on social media through the years I wouldn't have been as dedicated to create.
All music is from Animal Crossing

![Finchwing Draws: Spyro the Dragon [MINI]
Program: Procreate for iPad
Music: Dark Hollow - Spyro Reignited Trilogy OST
I draw a lot more on the iPad recently, and Procreate has the nifty function of being able to save timelapse videos of your art so I thought Id make a mini speedpaint out of this! Drew the good purple boy to celebrate the new game coming out which I hope to play soon!
I didnt realise til after I edited this and everything that the footage cuts out the entire colouring process D: I went back to rerender the timelapse and it keeps cutting it out, so I assume something went wrong with the recording. Sorry about that, I hope you enjoy anyway!
If you guys like this I might try to make these mini speedpaints a more frequent thing, as these are really easy and quick to make and I love drawing on procreate ! Finchwing Draws: Spyro the Dragon [MINI]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aQ5RMEMgDm8/mqdefault.jpg)

An independent musician seeks out a constellation, but discovers he can’t do so alone.
This was the film I directed for my final year at Arts University Bournemouth, completed last May 2018. We had to wait a year to release it, so here it is !
It was a lot of work to make, and everyone worked super hard ! ;o; Super proud of my team for helping me finish this. Links to them are provided in the credits below, unless they havent provided me with them.
