Default Thanks Helen and Sara

This was one being my first one that i did a quick sketch off...
I based this upon my own sketch
and i am currentley working on a background for it...
Is it normal that this took me around a day and a bit to complete?

Being ony 14 with no design experience I think this is a good attempt, keep on practicing

Are you planning on studying Graphic Design when you leave school?

Yeah My school is a relitiveley small secondary school
Its a specialized technology college so i can chose a max of 3 tech options...
Now based on the response i get from my friends... Graphics is 1.) - Followed by Engineering...
Do you think i'd have a future in some sort of graphics?
The Image below is totally finished now.

I don't see why not, you already have an understanding of the main software and seem to enjoy what you do. You are still really young and have ages to learn more, what you are doing now, practicing, learning techniques etc will only make your life easier later on.

Hope it works out well for you, in 10 years time you may just pop back here advertising your own successful design business, good luck.

WOW Thanks.
I love designing things like this at the moment..
Just being able to create something that you designed yourself and that visually impresses people
Its a good feeling...
So yeah My plan is to take GCSE Art and Graphics then go on to further study Graphics...
I know its a tight industry to get yourself into
With only Perfect designs being accepeted , its quite tough
But if i have 10 years to study and learn the basics needed - Being at the level i am now , whilst being only 14 - Things could turn out very nicely for me...
