F.M.P. Presentation
AbbieSTABBY @ The Gaming Day Fundraiser
_______________________________________________________________________________
Here is some footage graciously acquired by my friend Chris during the Gaming Day Fundraiser, put on by the Games Design department. The footage he got was of me completing one of the many commissions that he paid for on the day! He had filmed everyone’s activities throughout the duration of the event – but was kind enough to let me nab the footage of my work from him so that I could put it up on this blog.
At my table (which I shared with Cayleigh from Interactive media / Web Design), I sold ‘Itty Bitty’ portraits for £2 a drawing. Putting it at this price definitely seemed to do the trick for drumming up interest! Usually I charge £5 for the individual drawings, but seeing as it was a fundraiser and I wanted the pricing to seem cheap and fair, I went with £2. Plus, £2 is a lot more coherent as ‘walking-around’ money, rather than the probability of people having to pop to the cash machine for the money, or being put off by the notion of paying £5 altogether.
In total, after counting up the total which I had raised, I had just over £33 – which is absolutely fantastic! I had no idea at all that I had managed to raise that much! Cayleigh and I both managed to raise around the same amount (I think she may have even raised a bit more than me – selling cakes and drinks.). At the end of the day, each of the disciplines which were helping out during the fundraiser – from Animation, Games Design and Interactive Media, put the money they had raised with each of their stalls together. With all accounted for, total earnings were around £120 which was incredibly satisfying. That will help a great amount with getting the total amount required for rentals and purchases for the End of Year Degree Show.

Children’s Book Illustration Videos
I have found a handful of really useful and interesting videos of industry creatives doing tutorials on YouTube. Having these ready examples of established illustrators and how they go about their work is a fantastic resource. Whilst some of these videos consist of interview footage, and some of step by step artwork, both serve as valuable resources for interested learners, and those wishing to go into illustrating for children’s books. Here is a selection of what I think are some of the best ones that I came across:
