Its been a while since I put up a journal, well what can I say...?

I'm back being at the gallery I was volunteering at on a placement, which is great. I don't really wanna say what I was doing before that, all I can say is it was driving me crazy.

Lately I don't feel like I've been myself. I've been feeling quite down, which is not like me at all. I'm just feeling like my passion for Illustration is getting me nowhere and I should just abandon all hope and dreams of breaking into that industry.
Some of this is because of where I live and the fact there isn't too many opportunities around. Some of it is because I feel I still have a student mentality and I need to improve on a lot of things.
I know of people who would pay me for my portraits, I do enjoy them but its not where my passion lies. Plus, I couldn't really live off the money I would make.

Please don't reply to this just to reassure me, I know where my strengths lie. I'm not being all like 'OMG I CAN'T DRAW!'. Its just where I am at the moment and I know that in a while I will be fine again. Its just how I feel right now.

Until next time.
